MattZ Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Hang on, buddy. to be perfectly honest... if i had to rank the albums tracks: Furr Black River KillerNot Your LoverWar On MachinesGod & SuicideSleepytime In The Western WorldLady On The WaterGold For BreadFire & Fast BulletsStolen Shoes & A RifleSaturday NiteEcho/Always On/EZ ConLove U Ok, I was able to get past the first song, and I moved on to the rest of the album. I dont think the rest of the album is as good as that first song. Not that the rest of the album is bad, just that I think that first song may be just about perfect. Anyone else hearing My Back Pages in Furr? Still Playing: BT/Furr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CortezTheKiller Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I'm hearing Goo Goo Dolls. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mjpuczko Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 seriously? i don't hear them at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lizish Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Crooked Finger - Forfeit/Fortune. Love it. Especially the backing vocals on What Never Comes. I don't think it's Lara Mekrinhausen (sp?) but it still sounds good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CortezTheKiller Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 seriously? i don't hear them at all.I do. It's solid, but there's a layer of sugar on it that makes it hard for me to get on board 100%. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

solace Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Given their personnel departures/changes, I wasn't expecting this to be as good as it is. And it is good. i found it to be lacking any really great hooks honestly... some good riffs & drumming, but not the Secret Machines i fell in love with in 2001 at all and the show i saw sans Ben Curtis 2 months ago was so bad/boring i had to leave 35 minutes in (they'd played 3.5 songs at that point) Crooked Finger - Forfeit/Fortune. Love it. Especially the backing vocals on What Never Comes. I don't think it's Lara Mekrinhausen (sp?) but it still sounds good. there's 4-5 songs on there that are amazing, but a handful of hit or miss songs for me too... way way better than Dignity & Shame though! the first track is total Bowie Heroes meets E Street band, love it. Cannibals is killer, as is the duet w/ Neko Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mjpuczko Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 i love dignity & shame! not a fan of the new one. NP:matthew ryan vs silver state. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 i love dignity & shame! not a fan of the new one. NP:matthew ryan vs silver state. other than Red Devil Dawn, D&S is my least fave Crooked Fingers album... the S/T is easily my fave, followed by Snakes and probably this new one Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I also really appreciate the 'experimental' songs on F/F. It sort of echos back to the Archers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It sort of echos back to the Archers. it's weird... some of the spanish stuff on here i love (No Me Los Des, Sinisteria), but some of it is are among my least fave songs on the album (Phony Revolutions, Luisa's Bones) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
