by dev on 2009-11-05 14:06:16 Haven't been able to get into this at all. Cuban Ballerina grabbed me by the balls and didn't let go. I miss Jack.

by RTTH on 2009-11-05 14:12:25 First listen didn't really blow me away like CB. But after a few more listens it's really growing on me. I think i just wanted it to be more of the same and when it wasn't it took me a bit of time to get over it. yeah, Jack and his signature sound is long gone, but its cool, i like that dead to me is switching up their sound. I'm really interested to see where they go from here.

This record is really different than Cuban Ballerina in a lot of ways. I love Nathan and I think he's a great addition to the band (well, song writing wise, he's been with them for what, three years now?). I also like that Nathan does his own thing and not just try to impersonate Jake, it really brings in a new element, plus I feel it really expands his guitar playing.

The skinny one in the middle looks like my ex-husband.
Re: Dead To Me: "African Elephants"
by thomassawyer on 2009-11-05 14:33:34 pretty good album. Nathan's voice is sick. I like how they do different stuff instead of trying to sound like dead to me. Miss jack though, he balanced the edge that chicken gives

I don't think I ever listened to Cuban Ballerina, I like this though.
Re: Dead To Me: "African Elephants"
by 14theroad on 2009-11-05 14:44:40 http://www.last.fm/user/slashandburn I heard Jack is never coming back. True or false?

Some of you guys are being way to generous, I think. If Jack was on this it would be album of the year, definitely top 5. The only way this makes my top 10 is if it makes it by default. I love this band so much, CB is a perfect record, but this album is a huge let down. I like Chicken's songs, and one or two of the new guy's, but the rest is so horribly mediocre.

by hobbzoid on 2009-11-05 17:38:56 http://www.gigposters.com/designer/10366_Zach_Hobbs.html this is my fave record of the year. It's fucking smart. Better songs than Cuban...

Re: Dead To Me: "African Elephants"
by brokenrecord on 2009-11-05 18:00:47 great album in the top 5 of the year for me.
Re: Dead To Me: "African Elephants"
by tombagel on 2009-11-05 18:35:45 Biggest let down of the year.

by ArejayPUNX on 2009-11-05 19:29:31 Hahahaha... I knew this shit was going to be a grower for everybody. Things have changed since the album leaked ;)

Yeah it definitely grows on you.
Re: Dead To Me: "African Elephants"
by Phantom_Maggot on 2009-11-05 20:09:42 http://www.last.fm/user/OneManWolfPack This is pretty good. Also, the band still owns live. I am glad that I wasn't let down by this release.
Re: Dead To Me: "African Elephants"
by Phantom_Maggot on 2009-11-05 20:12:33 http://www.last.fm/user/OneManWolfPack "Blue" sounds waaaaaay too much like Nirvana. I don't know if I think it's awesome or horrible.
Re: Dead To Me: "African Elephants"
by Lifebystereo on 2009-11-05 22:05:04 http://lastfm.com/user/lifebystereo judging by this album, I would be 100% fine with Jack never coming back. They can stand on their own, and given that I like this better...

Re: Dead To Me: "African Elephants"
by JustJen on 2009-11-06 15:14:34 so fucking good! haven't stopped listening to it for weeks! best band in sf. love you dudes!
Re: Dead To Me: "African Elephants"
by OneManArmy on 2009-11-07 10:22:13 Yea..I am not feeling this album. Jack's departure is very evident. Not that same raw well balanced PUNK rock that he is always great at creating. Nates vocals isn't bad but nothing special/original to it. Most of the songs are too slow IMO. I orored the album but I am not sure it's going to get the playtime that the previous two releases got..... |
