Mystik Spiral Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 i am so into this album lately... so fucking good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Littlebear Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I used to love this album. I put it on yesterday for the first time in a long while and it didn't seem so great. There are definitely some great songs on it but there is also more mediocre stuff than I remember. There are some good songs yeah ("Tearing Down This Place", "Sincere", "California Thing"), but if I had to recommend starters to those not knowing Freedy, it would be The Trouble Tree (he never rocked as much, it's close to Costello or Graham Parker) and Never Home (his best album). Those albums CANNOT disappoint imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jay Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Just saw them Friday night here in NYC....surprisingly good live band, for as much of a studio band as they seem. That's cool to hear. I'd like to see them sometime. NP Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Littlebear Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I'm currently playing all his albums in a row (no kidding - that makes twenty albums or so). I purchased Strange Weirdos (his new one). To those willing to know more about the guy, a great start is the documentary One Man Guy, you can watch it on You Tube (in six parts). It's really interesting, with interviews of family members (Kate McGarrigle, Martha Wainwright, Rufus Wainwright, etc...). And of course Loudon all along. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jhh4321 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 what is the actual color of this cover? ... i have seen at least 3 or 4 different ones Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chendizzle Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I think red is the official cover. I kept 7 Shades of Black, That's the Way (My Love Is), Tarantula, Bring the Light, Neverlost, and Come On (Let's Go!) and deleted everything else. Those songs are pretty fun, cheesy alterna rawk, but the others just didn't click with me. Especially United States, that song was real crap. NP:I definitely like TOTBL and Antics more, but I still don't know what to make of this. Doesn't seem like a very good album, the only definite keeper is Pioneer. Paul's voice and lyrics are more annoying than ever though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Artifice Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Okay, I have absolutely hated Art Brut since I first heard them, and I thought they're new single was shyte until it suddenly clicked for me yesterday, so it's on heavy rotation on my Ipod: Art Brut - Direct Hit (confirmed that it rocks hard) The video still reeks though. Also, a friend of mind has me listening to Archer Prewitt, specifically: Another Peace of Mind. Great mellow out song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've had 7 or 8 of his discs in rotation over the past few weeks, including the new one. Thanks for pointing out that YouTube doc, will definitely check it out. As an aside: the "undeclared" DVD has footage of Loudon performing 7 or 8 songs at some L.A. club as part of the 'extras.' Definitely a nice bonus.
