Welsh Rich Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 That's great, the new album = not so great... I've not been so disappointed in an album in ages... it's just so.... average... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 the new record is waaaaaaaaay better than the last one at least Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 See - I have a place in my heart for the last record, but I just can't connect with this new one at all... don't tell me it's going to be another Midlake?!!?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 oh god the last record was the biggest piece of shit, sorry dude. while his lyrics have always been immature, those were the WORST... Hospital Bed? My Apartment??? and no, this new one isn't even remotely on the same level as Trials Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jahilia Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I've been listening his newer stuff for so long, I forgot how good this album is.Next: Nick Cave is the only person I can think of that actually looks cool with a mullet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brianjeremy Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Still not my favorite NIN album, but I was really itching to hear it today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Through the Beat Your Ass Season Pass, which you can get to by pre-ordering the record. Incredible stuff, this band keeps getting better and better with age, this one gives I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One a run for it's money. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 seriously?? i only heard it once yesterday for the first time, and while it was OK, didn't even remotely touch their 90's work i thought... i wasn't really that impressed with it through one listen unfortunately... few great songs, but on the whole just an OK record. i'll give it some more listens though, cuz i was really hoping for a nice return to form i was just hoping it'd be better than Summer Sun, which was pretty blah, but so far i'm not sure which i prefer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mystik Spiral Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 oh god the last record was the biggest piece of shit, sorry dude. while his lyrics have always been immature, those were the WORST... Hospital Bed? My Apartment??? I think I listened to the last album all the way through MAYBE twice... so bad. I really really dig the new one though. Guess I'm in the minority...

solace Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 besides Penny On A Train Track, which i absolutely love, i've only listened once so we'll see but i can already say it's better than the last one, because i made it through without cringing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mpolak21 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 (edited) seriously?? i only heard it once yesterday for the first time, and while it was OK, didn't even remotely touch their 90's work i thought... i wasn't really that impressed with it through one listen unfortunately... few great songs, but on the whole just an OK record. i'll give it some more listens though, cuz i was really hoping for a nice return to form i was just hoping it'd be better than Summer Sun, which was pretty blah, but so far i'm not sure which i prefer It fades a bit by about side three, the first part of the second half, but I think the last couple of tracks are all really strong. It's even further all over the place then Heart, so it's probably going to take awhile for it all to sink in. I might have gotten a little carried away by saying it's on "Heart's" level, but I do think it's a really good record. Beanbag Chair, Mr. Tough, The Weakest Part and Black Flowers are up there with some of my favorite Yo La Tengo songs. Ultimately I have no objectivity when it comes to my favorite groups, I loved Summer Sun, so I am probably not the most credible source, but hopefully you'll enjoy it a little more after a couple more listens. --Mike Edited August 29, 2006 by mpolak21 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
