Welsh Rich Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 The Black Keys: Magic Potion I was a little bit worried about listening to this after Solace's remarks, but I'm really liking this a lot - not as gentle as I thought it might be. How good a song is "Strange Desire"... great stuff... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sid Hartha Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I was a little bit worried about listening to this after Solace's remarks, but I'm really liking this a lot - not as gentle as I thought it might be. How good a song is "Strange Desire"... great stuff... Lots of repeat listening here. Great batch of songs on this. I was also impressed at how stripped down the production is. I had some concerns - considering this is their big label debut LP - that the label might have wanted some more 'production' happening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Yeah - they've still kept their dusky sound, which is nice... my foot has been tapping like a hare in spring this afternoon, some great riffs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ScottHoward Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Soltero - Defrocked and Kicking the Habit Outstanding stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ScottHoward Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Also - didnt see that the Black Keys new one leaked. Can a huge fan get a ysi? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I was a little bit worried about listening to this after Solace's remarks, but I'm really liking this a lot - not as gentle as I thought it might be. How good a song is "Strange Desire"... great stuff...it is really solid, but i still would have liked just a rocker or two here. the 2nd track is really great though.i'd def put it above thickfreakness at least, but still prefer Rubber Factory & Big Come Up. far as i know it was recorded before they signed with Nonesuch?

Welsh Rich Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Not sure about when it was recorded, but would make sense as it seems to have come out really quickly. Also, Nonesuch don't have a reputation for ruining records Just coming up to finishing it again... great stuff... looking forward to the official release for sure, going to blaring out of the car speakers on my way home tonight Bit of a change of tact next: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EL the Famous Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Bit of a change of tact next: I am literally just about ready to order that off of iTunes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I can't decide what I think about it - some of it is really good and some of it I find a little boring.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 it starts to lose my interest by the end, but not bad for his first solo effort. fans of Shadow/RJD2 should dig it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EL the Famous Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I can't decide what I think about it - some of it is really good and some of it I find a little boring.... I like all of the the clips I heard, but some of his stuff from comps I have can ramble on a little bit too long. Then again, a lot of those turntableism (sp?) albums can do that for me. Glad there are some MC's on there...the Edan/Mr. Lif track sounds tight, two of my favorite MC's du jour right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 that's what it could definitely use more of, is some guest MC'ing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EL the Famous Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 should I buy the full album? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I don't really listen to much music like this, so it has to be good; like the DJ Shadow stuff, but this is certainly good and some of it is REALLY good, it's just some of the tracks feel like filler. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 should I buy the full album?not off iTunes anyway, save your $$ i'd say Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EL the Famous Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 not off iTunes anyway, save your $$ i'd say I have like almost $75 worth of iTunes from birthday gift cards and don't have the Oink pipeline...where else would I get it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 i'll send you a PM later lotta good records out next Tue to wait for: White Whale, Midlake, Silversun Pickups, Sleepy Jackson, NY Dolls Quote Link to post Share on other sites
m_thomp Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I'm with solace on the Cut Chemist album. It starts off really well and loses its way towards the end, and it doesn't hold up that well to repeated listens. It's much more amiable and lighter than both Shadow and RJD2 - more funtime. Try before you buy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
m_thomp Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 NP: Squarepusher - My Modern Bass Guitar taken from his new album Hello Everything It's streaming now over on the Warp website. Fuckin' bonkers, fuckin brilliant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EL the Famous Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 i'll send you a PM later lotta good records out next Tue to wait for: White Whale, Midlake, Silversun Pickups, Sleepy Jackson, NY Dolls You rule...if it flys, i'll definitely buy. I'm semi-intrigued by the Dolls record, but it just seems it would be kind of bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 it's pretty decent, i got a promo of it a few months back so i won't be buying it. Dancing On The Lip of a Volcano (feat. Michael Stipe) frickin' rules tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
