hey, you're the one claiming your opinion to be the all-knowing undenying truth, not us

not to mention that the last Black Keys record, while good, is easily their weakest album to date

only seen them once in 2003 (missed their last show here), but they're fantastic live

ehhhhh at least the drums sound decent on this one. the drums sounded so flat and shitty on the first one.

it's better than the first one... but still just barely above average imo

i don't think his songwriting has gone downhill at all, just The White Stripes albums for me give me the Raconteurs album (even though it could have been a lot better) over the last 2 Stripes records anyday. then again, i've been a Brendan Benson fanboy long before i heard of The White Stripes really hope I like this new one though... from the descriptions really hard to say, but at least my expectations are pretty low

oof, not for me... sorry... to me it screamed "hey, the label wants a single, so let's throw that song on the album to appease them" i hated Jack's voice on it (his voice actually annoys me fairly often when it gets all high and whiney) not to mention the lyrics are just abysmal

Blue Orchid is awful sorry

De Stijl > White Blood Cells >>> Self-Titled >>>>> Elephant >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Get Behind Me Satan really would love for this album to be great, but the trend hasn't been to good for me the only 2 that i consider great are De Stijl & WBC

you can buy the NME here in the US too at any decent newstand

yep... pretty much Dosh doesn't write his stuff on guitar

yeah but SO many 80's records sound dated... hard to pick on GNR for that too even if i may not listen to it much anymore, it's still no less of a classic album today

yeah, Stephen hasn't played drums live with the Lips in a number of years unfortunately

hey now... i actually got sent a physical promo in the mail for this one

because compared to the 3 albums that came before it, it wasn't all that great... sure there's a few great songs on the album, but on the whole, notsomuch. MCIS was the start of their incredible descent.

exactly... i don't think he's touched the first self-titled or Poses yet for me... not that Want One, Want Two, or this new one are bad by ANY means, they're quite awesome, but still...

wink

best thing ever? not exactly... better than Want One & Want Two (not that the latter would be that tough) most likely? yep

ah, haven't looked at the liner notes yet, thanks

see my edit, Zep were eligible a year prior to Sabbath, so even IF it hadn't taken Sabbath so long, they did get inducted in the right order...

uhm.... Led Zep getting in before Sabbath is accurate... Zep put out I & II (both in 1969) before Sabbath put out their first record (1970) not to mention that Zep are just a way way bigger band and probably more deserving... now as far as influence... that's a bit closer

yeah but his last couple records...

i know not everyone agrees, but Use Your Illusion I & II had some pretty killer tracks too... you can't exactly discount those

lovely... and certainly a better all around album than Let It Die (not to mention that she actually wrote everything for this one whereas the last was half covers), but i still prefer Let It Die for now, simply because of the uptempo & fun tracks it's certainly much more like her solo live show though

i guess i could hide some of the links for now, but i'm not going to delete anything at this point...
