Oil Can Boyd Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Throwing Muses - House TornadoSaw a great show by them on Saturday night. Their drummer (David Narcizo) is one of my favorite drummers. Link to post Share on other sites

Moss Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 A little more country than I usually get but I like it. Nice Replacements cover! Getting ready to see him with Isbell next month. Link to post Share on other sites

Getting ready to see him with Isbell next month.Great album... it's a grower too. Very rarely would I like a Replacement's cover. Most bands have no business covering them. He pulls it off in a big way. Link to post Share on other sites

Getting ready to see him with Isbell next month. ha, i think it's just the right amount of country. could maybe use a bit more Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 ha, i think it's just the right amount of country. could maybe use a bit more I have nothing against country. I like this style quite a bit. Kind of the older school vs. Alan Jackson or something. Even without his dad, with a name like Justin Townes Earle, he was pretty much fated to do this kind of music.

Kalle Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 A little more country than I usually get but I like it. Nice Replacements cover! Getting ready to see him with Isbell next month. I actually really dig the album as well, much better than his last, he's certainly coming into his own it seems. Link to post Share on other sites
cre618 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 +1 Yeah, love DBT, love classic Booker T, but the album is still too close to listening to Muzak for me. Maybe after a few listens. So, on to.... Link to post Share on other sites
Synthesizer Patel Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Just arrived: So, do you think they're good albums? Super Furry Animals - webcast performance of Dark Days/Light Years Damn it, i missed it! Was it any good? Is it still streaming somewhere? I'm downloading the album as I type.

m_thomp Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Damn it, i missed it! Was it any good? Is it still streaming somewhere? I'm downloading the album as I type. I'm halfway through the album (the rest I've got for the second half of my journey later this afternoon). I have to admit that I'm slightly let down so far. There are some good moments but there's an awful lot of sludgy and proggy pub rock. I get the impression they're playing up to this as there's some great big drum fill crescendos and all in there. Having said that, I think it might be because the track order on the version I'm listening to is screwed - I've got the Mountain Song coming in as the second track and I think it's supposed to be the Neil Diamond one. And that Mountain Song is the worst pub rock offender, even if it did make me burst out laughing with its opening lines through sheer surprise. Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 So, do you think they're good albums? On first listen, yes. Yes I do. Very, very good!

I'm not going to judge an album I've only heard five tracks of, because two them were really good (Inaugral Trams and the one with the vocoderized vocals), but I get the distinct impression a lot of these tracks were born out of jams? Certainly the opener - the Naked Girls one - sounds ferocious and killer, but, if we're just being honest, it is just one monster riff.... and that's it. You're right, what they're doing is different, for them, but, given their impeccable track record of travelling on the paths less travelled, I was expected a wee bit more from them. It might come... it might come... Link to post Share on other sites
