the black crowes - lost crowes :dancing

 

wow, cursed diamond is fuckin' amazing on this. :wub

 

 

Well, it wasn't pushed back here and i bought it today. And there's indeed an error. Labels/artwork is switched for both discs.

 

Thanks Warner Holland !

 

On the other hand, i got a collector's item right now.

oooh, I hate you. I''ll take it out on your mother tonight, so it's all good.

 

For serious though, how is it?

Shockingly bad. I can't believe I'd ever say that about a GBV/Pollard release.

 

For one thing I'm just burned out on Todd Tobias' production/instrumentation (he plays all the instruments - again - on this one). The whole shitty production thing is really old now. Why he doesn't record with his road band (which kicks ass) and get a real producer is beyond me.

 

There's a few decent songs on it - but most of it sounds phoned in, even by his 'side project' standards. The worse part - and most shocking - is his voice. He's really off-key, just sounds terrible.

 

It's scary that he's releasing this through Merge Records, as his follow-up to the excellent From A Compound Eye.

Wow! It sounded so good on paper. I've yet to hear it but I feel you on the Tobis-bit. I never was a fan of his production. I've been burnt on Pollard stuff for a while. I haven't picked up squat since FACE.

Well, I'd say the Keene Brothers collaboration is worth a listen. But other than that, yeah...

working man's blues #2 might be the best song he's written in 20 yrs.

 

agreed. i love it, and i also love beyond the horizon...but not in the same way as workingman's blues #2. i do enjoy the album, but those two are definately standout tracks for me.

 

about to play:
