Descendents. The Pixies. With influences like that how could this album go wrong?

by this shit. Their best and sadly last album.... Digger is rad. Why is this the only album you have reviewed from them? if you read the 2001 warped tour program and in the H20 section they mention about h20 combining different styles from there area and one of the styles mentioned was the PA power pop scene. being from PA myself have realized that atleast 60% of the bands around here fall into this genre. But digger really stands out as one of the grandfathers in this area coming out in 1995, when bands like ten foot pole and sam I am were all the rage. but, where this band excels is their vocals there isn't really any major stand outs on this record, but just take a listen to power bait era stuff fun, catchy, emotional, and most of all listen for when they all sing different parts of a verse and/or chorus at the same time. now this is what I call a "GREAT" band. if you don't like the cd you will enjoy the live show 2. You like to have a good time while listening to music wheather its drinking, bowling, or attending a worst enemies funeral. what a good review! unfortuanatly, digger is just too half assed for me, and they play around me (pittsburgh) every other week anyway. great guitars, but vocals are pretty weak. gemini is cool,off plea for peace. if i have a shitload more money i'll buy this, but bad astronaut,transplants take priority. Job well done Digger!!! I haven't listened to this band since powerbait and I'm not the least disappointed. I agree with the comment that guitars aren't the only thing that makes a band good, but give them some respect. The guitars on keystone are truly amazing. I guess I'm going to have go buy their two other records now. cool, but i dont think playing guitar has anything to do with you "knowing" what is better than anyone else, becasue the technical aspects of musicianship should be abondoned all together, play from the heart, not what the books say. It really is if you look at it from a pop punk standpoint. Sure its not totally different but they have their own sound. Tell me another pop punk band that has the same guitar hooks and drum beats. Ive played guitar for 10 years now and counting and after listening to this cd I have to agree with the reviewer saying the guitars are strong. Very hard to play. Anyway they do sound like Brand New a little in my opinion but Brand New was also after these guys. Good band, Funny review. -bobino If this music is what you say it is, it isn't different at all. This cd is their best to date! The band has changed over the years, and it is for the best in my opinion. Quality music right here... Buy this cd and enjoy! He only wants his hat back because he got a stupid haircut. I would sound serious too. Sorry that was uh joel i mean to tbones: im not sure what to make of these guys. i have split 7 inch with them and weston(with chuck) I find it quite amusing that you said you will like this album if you like "different" sounding music and that you'll like it if you have an 6. You are a "real punk" and still claim you saw the Ramones when you were twelve, but now are at the age of thirteen. Why can't these guys sing about killing their exes rather than bitching about them! These guys have one of the truly great punk songs in my opinion: "I Want My Hat Back." It' kind of lame but he sounds so serious. Wonderful song, check it out if you ever have the chance. I like it. i heard one of their songs on a hopeless comp i recieved with a mail order. pretty forgettable if you ask me. well I only know like 2 or 3 songs by Digger, but cool review ! cool this makes me want to listen to the album. which means i have to download it because in australia i can't get my music that i find out about on the net. if i was to purchase it by mail order, by the time i got it i probably had thought of something else i wanted to get a hear of. 10. You don't want to hear another song about a girl, but will continue to listen to Anti-Flag who doesn't have enough songs about politics. haha thats awesome. but the cd sucks. sorry. and yes, i am in the 'i will like this album' category. but digger just plan sucks. 30 years old and still playing digger shit. shouldve quit when everybody else did. what an ass I really really really liked monte carlo to a sick point. I thought trainwreck was okay, and while I'm sure this isn't bad, I really miss the old bassist/singer/songwriter guy. |
