Calexico Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Voxtrot "Voxtrot" I just got this and the two EPs. Ill thought out judgement to follow. Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 That BRMC is really good - think the production is spot on, the guitars sound awesome. Link to post Share on other sites
PigSooie Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I just got this and the two EPs. Ill thought out judgement to follow. I prefer the EPs. Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I think Voxtrot are over-rated and the album just serves to confirm this... NP: Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 pfft, don't compare the album to the EP's... the MSDW EP is just chock full of indie pop goodness Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 pfft, don't compare the album to the EP's... the MSDW EP is just chock full of indie pop goodness Yup ... and Raised By Wolves is even better. Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 gotta disagree there Rise Up In The Dirty, Soft & Warm, and the title cut are my 3 favorite Voxtrot songs still to this date it's close though. like i'd give MSDW a 9, Wolves an 8.5, and this new one a 7-7.5 i also think that the production & sound on Mothers is better than anything else they've done too (especially the full length). the sound on Wolves leaves a bit to be desired at times.

mjpuczko Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 just finished the new voxtrot. i like it quite a bit. maybe not as much as the ep's (now listening to MDSW!) but i still like it. Link to post Share on other sites
quarter23cd Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Really enjoyed these guys with the Hold Steady the other night. At the show I don't think I understood a word they said, so listening to the album I'm like "Oh, so that's what these songs are about!" Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 That touring duo has to be one of the best of the last couple of years... looking forward to catching The thermals at ATP... Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I'm revisiting old R.E.M. that I shelved years ago and haven't really listened to since ... yesterday it was Automatic for the People, today it's this. This one has aged far better than I would have expected. Twenty years ago, to me it sounded nothing like the band's earlier albums (and I resented it for that), but now it strikes me as being much closer to its predecessors than its successors. I never thought I'd like this one very much, but I'm really enjoying it today. Link to post Share on other sites

Ramesh seems to have substituted guitar with all those strings on the s/t. I enjoy the new album, but where did those kick ass guitar fills from MSDW (title track) go? That is my absolute favorite Voxtrot song. NP: All Smiles - Ten Readings of a WarningJim Fairchild, Grandaddy guitarist, solo album. The song "Moth in a Cloud of Smoke" is fantastic, but I'm disappointed to find it's the strongest cut on here. Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 that and i think the strings sound even more fake and processed on this new one than they did on Mothers Link to post Share on other sites
Basil II Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I've been listening to a mess of early Byrds outtakes.....complete with false starts and studio chatter........simply put, Gene Clark's voice just absolutely wrecks me.......... -robert Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Managed the first couple of songs from Voxtrot before I got bored... sorry... think this is going to be my Midlake for 2007 Link to post Share on other sites

That's always been one of, if not my favorite REM album. (tho that might be because it came out at a time when I was just starting to become aware of bands "under the radar", and I remember feeling like I was in on a secret because I knew about this band before these songs started showing up on the radio) I can see how the long-timers might not have liked the shift in direction, but in retrospect, you're right that it was much closer to its predecessors than what was to come later.
