A lot of people I knwo whose tastes I respect like them, so I tried to give them a shot, but like with Tom Waits, I just wasn't feeling.

Let's just say everything I "borrowed" (from slsk) I returned. BEFORE the due date, too.

i agree on the rx bandits...but kind of shocked that you don't like tom waits...bone machine pretty much changed my life.

I've tried. I just don't get it.

The lady and I were watching Tom Waits perform on some late-night show one night a few months back. Our friend from out of town was visiting. About mid-way through Waits' performance, my girl says "This is fucking horrible, who would like this guy." To which our friend replied, "well, i do." True story. I'm definitely not into him enough to consider myself a fan. And to me, I'm right.

aww booo.

nah, i dig it. for me i always sort of enjoyed his weirder stuff...then came the wonderful night of LSD and bone machine, now i loves him hard.

i've got a thing for musicians who just don't give a fuck, though. tom waits is definitely up there on that list, along with (the ever so mighty) ween...actually developing the same kind of love for that gogol bordello band...at first i thought it was ridiculous...but it's really growing on me and ALWAYS puts a smile on my face

give "the resignation" a few listens, it's their best IMO, and very varied. if you want poppier, go backwards, if you want proggier/reggae-er, go forwards.

There should be more bands inspired by the Phil Spector sound.

I very much agree. This band is amazing.

Scratch that, The Devil and God... came out that year.

The reason these tracks suck is that they can't keep a tempo. They need to make sure they always play with a drummer or at least a metronome.

This band needs to graduate up to heroin.

Great band, great live show, and Matt Embree is an awesome guy.

Might be the 2nd coolest guy in the bis I have ever sat down and had a conversation with. Dan Yemin being #1 of course...

I get the impression a lot of orgers don't really like proggy stuff.

well, you need to have some structure to make it good, extremes don't work that well. they were excellent before the last album.

It's not that 'out there'. You can't follow stuff that's not 4/4?

friokir (August 24, 2008)

I'm talking about structure, song structure. if you have a new riff that's more like a solo every 10 seconds then yeah, it doesn't flow for me. no need to be an asshole. + they use a lot of the melodies and riffs from the last albums there.
