mjpuczko Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 umm, kinda like the shins, i hear a little smiths too, i actually hear a lot of people. thats no help i know. actually, it is. i will not be checking this out. Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 blah, check it out Matt, that's not the best description i couldn't quite peg them either... Link to post Share on other sites
oatmealblizzard Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Just listened to this and it is really fantastic. May end up as one of my favorites of the year. Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 hmm... this is pretty decent through 3 tracks (Power In Numbers was a big step down from Quality Control and the J5 EP), but the fact that Cut Chemist (a HUGE part of my love for J5) is no longer w/ them or on this record is really depressing, especially for their upcoming tour Link to post Share on other sites
oatmealblizzard Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Yeah, Cut Chemist is definitely missed. And I can't say I'm a huge fan of the Dave Matthews Band being featured on a track. BUT... I'm still really enjoying this album. Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 ugh, i don't like this chick vocals on Brown Girl either, reeks of Black Eyed Peas... otherwise it's an ok track edit: i'd be lying if i said wasn't a bit dissapointed with this through track 9 . not that it's bad mind you... was just hoping for something better i guess.

Welsh Rich Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 What do you think? I'll definitely be checking out Slowlands when I get home tonight, sounds interesting... For me this morning: Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 i realized i only like 2-3 songs on that Beirut record, mostly the non european folk stuff w/ horns, etc. Postcards From Italy is a truly great song tho Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 I really like it... there's something about it that just haunts me. Can I suggest that this might, surprisingly, be my favourite record of the year so far???? It's certainly a duel between this and Muse... Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 i at least like the Thom record tho... as for Beirut, i certainly understand what people hear in it, i just happen to think that DeVotchka do that style of music a lot better personally, and i'm not even the biggest fan of them either. dude is insanely talented for 19 tho, will be someone to watch Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 I was saying that the Thom Yorke one could be my fav of the year so far - should have put it after the picture... It's really grown on me a lot... Now Playing: My iTunes library on random, Ben Folds > Aphex Twin was an interesting switch Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 no i know, Thom & Muse, i was saying i at least like the Thom record some (haven't counted but i'm sure it'd be around 20+ tho) Muse, just really haven't liked a full record since Symmetry myself Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 i realized i only like 2-3 songs on that Beirut record, mostly the non european folk stuff w/ horns, etc. Postcards From Italy is a truly great song thoWhat about Gogol Bordello? I have not heard their stuff, but have read some interviews and they seem to put on a great show? I had said how the Beirut record did not sound authentic to me. Gogol Bordello may be nearer the mark? Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 i don't like Gogol's music too too much, but i too have heard from lots of personal friends (and seen photos/videos) of how insane their live shows are. i'd def like to check them out sometime live. Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 no i know, Thom & Muse, i was saying i at least like the Thom record some (haven't counted but i'm sure it'd be around 20+ tho) Muse, just really haven't liked a full record since Symmetry myself Ahhhh! That new Muse record is well worth a listen though if you haven't done so... great, great stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 i'll def take a listen, i've only heard the single and one other song, was waiting for a good rip to surface. i dug a few songs from Absolution, but the guitar tones were just kinda borderline nu-metal-ish for me i guess, kinda like the last Ash record Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 There's a proper rip on Oink now - the riffs are certainly more straight metal in places now and I'm convinced there's a hint of new order as well tucked away in the bass lines! Link to post Share on other sites
