Welsh Rich Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Where? How? Official promo that came through this week... though it's an edited version, it fades out at the end of every track. You get the general idea though - it's great. This morning whilst doing some housework: The Mountain Goats: Heretic Pride Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 my first listen to this right now... jesus h the first 3 tracks are annoying as hell, especially "Go Go Gadget Flow" edit: track 4 too... you're so right about the choruses so far... Yeah, the same complaints apply, but its still one of my favorite albums of the year. "Superstar" is an incredible song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 This really is very good... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Yeah, the same complaints apply, but its still one of my favorite albums of the year. "Superstar" is an incredible song.can't say the same. i probably only liked 6 or 7 songs out of the 19 enough to listen further. if you haven't heard Freeway's "Free At Last" or Pharoahe Monch's "Desire", check those out, definitely 2 of the years best hip hop/rap records.

explodo Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 The Mountain Goats: Heretic PrideHow is this? It would be kind of tough to be worse than Get Lonely, I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 First impressions were good. "Get Lonely" didn't do much for me either, but seems good on first listen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Littlebear Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 it was the Lua that made me do it... man i love this album. what do you like about this album? (I'd love to understand...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mystik Spiral Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Just about everything, really... The songs, Emmylou, the lyrics, Conor's voice (I know that's a turn off for a lot of people). I just think it's a really passionate album, and every time I've come back to it over the past couple of years it still resonates well with me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chendizzle Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 This morning whilst doing some housework: The Mountain Goats: Heretic Pride so true... Hey! I thought Get Lonely was awesome. Great breakup album...maybe you just have to be in that damaged emotional state to connect to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Hey! I thought Get Lonely was awesome. Great breakup album...maybe you just have to be in that damaged emotional state to connect to it.Get Lonely had some pretty stuff, but after a run of 4 stellar records, not exactly up to snuff for me. i prefer John's uptempo stuff as well, so...

Welsh Rich Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 You should check out Fuck Buttons (the post above)... think they'd be up your street... NP: The Mountain Goats again - this is a lot better than Get Lonely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I may have to give it another chance. So far I throw the record by the window each time I hear him drinking his cup of coffee in the first second of the first track. Tell me about an unbearable introduction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, that took a bit of getting used to. I have to say though that given your top albums and biggest disappointments of 2007, it's safe to say we have very very very different taste in music...
