PopTodd Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Okay, so nothing that the Pups has done since the millennium has really grabbed me -- at all. But, they were my gateway band and I will ALWAYS pay attention whenever the guys put out something new.As always, I am taking a wait and see with this one. Hopefully, I won't be too disappointed this time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shakespeare In The Alley Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 That cover sucks. Drop shadows on text is literally the worst thing ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like it was designed by a middle schooler.Wish that Curt had done the art for this one, as usual. Still, let's see what the MUSIC is like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shakespeare In The Alley Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I'm admittedly only a "fan" of them through Nirvana Unplugged. But I checked out and liked all the original versions too. Definitely a band I'll really get around to eventually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I wasn't able to download the link to the new tune. I'll listen to anything they put out. Wasn't impressed with Rise To Your Knees or Sewn Together, though. A few good tracks off of each..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
