Wow, this is an awful album. I loved Rodeo And Picasso, and surprisingly enjoyed the French EP even more. But this they really can't be serious about. I cannot picture another scenario other than all 4 members of the band plus Rory Phillips sitting around laughing about how big of a joke this album is. It's a good laugh, I'll give it that. But that's the short version. You want details? Here they are...

They put on a bad live show? Are you fucking retarded? They are probably one of the sickest live bands to see, they just rock the fuck out and don't look gay as fuck doing so like most gay bands out. Go see them at Emo's in austin tx and you'll see what it's all fucking about. This guy is a major douche bag, it's incredible. "Reco" is just a nickname for the band, chill out. Is it really so hard to put the extra effort into typing "VER". Seriously. You are such a douche bag. I am just overcome with an uncontrollable desire to hurt you. I understand the value of abbreviation, but their name is 7 fucking letters long you moron. I bet you abbreviate NOFX too don't you. I hate you so much. QUOTING: I saw these guys Wednesday night with Armor For Sleep and Say Anything. Out of the 200 or so people at the show, there were maybe 4 or 5 people there to see Recover. Everyone went nuts for Say Anything, then pretty much just stood there, silent, for Recover's 45-minute set. It was reaaaaaaally awkward. this cd is pretty horrible compared to the other stuff they have put out. So much better than Rodeo & Picasso Oh wow, those Mp3s are as bad as everyone keeps saying. And, like everyone else, I'm a huge fan of R&P. How disappointing. That is hilarious about them being the quintisential opening band...every time I have seen them they opened for someone else. In fact, I could not even imagine actually going to a concert to see them... This was a horrible review. This dude should write no more reviews. This was a excellent review. This dude should write more reviews. "You guys are all idiotic douche bags... this album is absolutely amazing. the funny fucking thing with you shit eating assholes is that you trash absolutepunk.net's audience, yet you feel like you have some sort of authority to bash bands and fans on the basis that you like outdated, shitty, fucked up, shityldfuihfsaj punk records that don't mean shit to the rest of the world. keep living in your parents' basements and sucking off your uncles and fucking your sisters.... keep listening to your fucking ape-like bands like the lawrence arms, fucking rx bandits, any ska-core/shittily recorded punk/ crusty fucking homeless music!! fuck it!"

I can't believe no one made a joke like 'I HOPE this is the year they disappear." Eeeeeeeeeyyyyy-oooooohhhhhh!!!11111 wow, first review of this that sums up the way i feel about it. thats lame, those arent even the correct lyrics.... but whatev. " I can't get over how bad the lyrics are. They're bad. Like, "Let's go have some drinks, find a girl, maybe we will fall in love tonight, tonight! We'll have so much fun!" bad. " Sounds about right for the direction of the band. Haven't heard it, but sounds about right. Lets hope this band dissappears this year. Fuck it, they should have dissappeared the day after they formed. "Brian McTiernan is WAY overrated. " hey!!! that girl on the cover is that nasty stinky slut that was on tour with them all summer. She didn't put out so at least they got a bad cover photo out of her. maybe you had to get this band when Rodeo & Picasso first came out. cos i bought that record after hearing good things....and it was a steaming pile of shit. i'm sure this attempt at selling out is far worse than their previous garbage. you've gotta be joking...those fucking songs sound like ass. the vocals are crap and sound like they were recorded a mile away. Say what you want about the record, but the re-recorded versions on 'My Only Cure' and 'Push Push' slay the EP versions. Brian McTiernan is WAY overrated. C'mon, it aint that bad It really is sad. I was a big Recover fan and an even bigger Rory Phillips fan (still am, he didn't write this shit) but I can't say I feel the same anymore. Funny thing is that I like the last track the most. It's straight up catchy and really does make me want to sing along. I thought I liked this album for a week or two then I realized that this album is most likely the biggest disappointment for me in many years. these guys headlined over Armor for Sleep and Say Anything in Detroit...though I head Say Anything was awful fuck this band. and fuck rory phillips. This review needed to give the band less stars, but nice mest comparison. Rodeo and Picasso was the last good record Fueled By Ramen put out. "no way, this art sucks. that chick isn't even hot" Absolutely better than anything they've ever done. How many "scream the verse sing the chorus" albums did you idiots expect this band to put out? this review is a joke, i hear only improvements to their sound from their past 2 releases to this. a better singing voice, etc. you're just mad cause they sold out, fag. I really like this cd a lot. They definitely changed their sound, but it's really good. "...I had already heard from a friend of a friend that played drums with the producer's former roomate's nephew." an attempt to name drop would have been a little more specific than that. it was obviously a joke you douch. "'Disappear' I had already heard from a friend of a friend that played drums with the producer's former roomate's nephew." no way, this art sucks. that chick isn't even hot. Forgive austin, cause other than this band, that city owns. Eat at Katz's deli, it's the fucking shit. Or get some breakfast tacos at Juan and a Millions. That place cures the fuck out of a hangover. Eh, I like the album art, but that's about it. I'm really hoping this gets better over time, like somebody below mentioned. I really hope that. Definitely not a band I've EVER been able to get into, and this cd just makes me wish I'd never tried. It's not like I was talking good about a shitty band like mest dude, get over it. And if a person is actually thinking this is a good record, it kind of makes you wonder if they should be breathing. this record is simply amazing. it's most likely one of my top 3 favorite records of the 2004. Out of the 200 or so people at the show, there were maybe 4 or 5 people there to see Recover. Everyone went nuts for Say Anything, then pretty much just stood there, silent, for Recover's 45-minute set. It was reaaaaaaally awkward Boy did I like their last 2 cds, but I heard the single and forgot about this band. Too bad, Rodeo and Picasso was fucking sick. i felt the same way everyone else does about this record after loving R&P like i do. but i let it spin a bunch of times and it grew on me. the 2 times i've seen them live, they've represented. Yeah Scott? Pretty funny. That may swing it in my current crisis: who to see out of them or Unsung Zeros. I hate both but there's nowt else on in Orlando when I go as far as I am aware. Any help? Please? I am out ONE DAY after Big D. Jeez, am I pissed. I saw these guys Wednesday night with Armor For Sleep and Say Anything. Out of the 200 or so people at the show, there were maybe 4 or 5 people there to see Recover. Everyone went nuts for Say Anything, then pretty much just stood there, silent, for Recover's 45-minute set. It was reaaaaaaally awkward. i was such a huge fan of r&p. i listened to it so much. i thought the ep was just ok at first, but it grew on me enough to think it was pretty good. But god damn. what the fuck happened. Who is Rory Philips? The dude from the Impossibles? The first song is pretty good, but this shit sucks. I never really liked this band too much... but I gave the new CD a couple of listens. It wasn't bad. But lately I've been hearing songs in my head ... and have grown to enjoy the album quite a bit. why everyone is all over this album's nuts is beyond me Yeah, pretty bad album but over time, some of the songs have gotten a little better. big pile of shit I liked the ep as well and was incredibly excited for this release. I can't believe this is the final product, and I'm even more surprised that a "major" label was willing to put this crap on the shelves. Not only are the songs shit, but it sounds like they used scratch tracks for everything. The sound on the ep was so full with a wall of guitar and some decently polished vocals, but most of the vocals on this album don't even line up timing and intonation-wise. I had hoped that the mp3's I had heard were demo's, but it turns out that this was the sound that Recover was going for: Pure crap. I remember listening to a few tracks of this before it came out and thinking it was completely different from Rodeo & Picasso. Terrible shit indeed. |
