gaycero? Your wrong.

The DVD is very disappointing. Score for this CD, the band, and the Jawbreaker cover.

gaycero, amirite?

this is EASILY their best fucking release.

without a doubt.

In my top 5 most listened to/favorite albums of all time.

"So I go to their myspace and they've got a trailer for their new DVD. Basically all they talked about was how they want to get on a bigger label and play to more people, unless I didn't understand. It was just like the AM! dvd only less interesting."

it might have been filmed during their tour with against me. i know lucero was in against me's dvd though.

Though it may just be me; but I cannot get over the fact of how much the singers voice resembles Kurt Cobain's voice in the beginning of "Darby's Songs".

The DVD itself isn't that great.

I hate the word "heartfelt"

every BMX kid i come across loves this band. they have a big BMX following, probably 'cause their music is featured in a lot of videos

Great songs about love and loss, that in a way help you get through it.

"it's the singers voice that turns me off. if he'd just sing in his normal voice instead of trying to sound like a country punk it would be a bit more believable. to me it sounds fake."

"That's what I thought at first, too. Then, I saw them live. That is his real voice."

really? because i don't seem to remember him having that twang in Red 40

Tennesse, That Much Further West, and Nobody's Darlings are so good that I have difficulty choosing. In a pinch, TMFW is my favorite. I loved Nobody's Darlings but it took a good month to grow on me, as it was quite different from a band known for doing slow, sad country rock songs. Anyone having trouble with that record should stick with it; like Against Me's last one, its rewarding.

Also, the live bonus CD from "Dreaming In America" is awesome--new version of "Kiss The Bottle", Ben playing "Nights Like These" alone with his guitar, and a revved-up "Tears Don't Matter Much" are only a few of the highlights.

If slow dancing or Darbys song doesnt move you in some way...youre too jaded for your own good

1. Old Attic Tapes (yep)
2. Tennessee
3. S/t
4. TMFW
5.Nobodys darlings

any takers?

Here At The Starlite is such an amazing song...

By far one of the best bands ever covered on this site. It makes me sad to see so many nay-sayers. This band deserves so much more than all of this negative shit talk from fans of today's horrible 'punk' music.

I prefer thier self-titled over this but this has Chain Link fence which might be one of thier best songs ever.

i have tried time and time again to get into this band.. but it never really works out. i'd really like to like this band .. but they just are hitting the wrong chords with me.

whiskeytown.. now there's a band.

This band is good, but they're no Whiskeytown or Uncle Tupelo.

if I have to be the Lucero troll, I accept.
these guys suck

"my best girl", hands down.

I Enjoy

Old Sad Songs is the knock, short n sweet.

~ Alex P. Keaton

really good cd.

Lucero is pretty good but I wouldn't rank them one of the best bands of the last decade.

"This is not their best overall release. This is not their masterpiece."

I, and many I know beg to differ. This was the peak. A perfect record. You can't play americana/country/roots whatever and have someone call your record 'self-deprecating' as its defining quality. It's like calling an NWA record 'urban' with negative intent.

Starlite Diner still owns me. the 'hey' in the middle end of that song gives me shivers.

wyzo

I like these guys.
Also, maybe it's just me, but do they not play enough shows in their hometown?

This is hands down my favorite cd of all time. All time! Ever.

Great record, but "Mine Tonight" is still the best song they've ever written.

"When You're Gone" is the best song from this record.

i like the s/t more.

lucero. hmm. isn't that the lotion i rub on my vagina every night?

Probably my favorite Lucero cd.

So basically they're an emo band? Neat!

scott-
yes, this record is definitely worth the purchase. can't believe you were bored with 'darlings. odd. i thought that record was their coming out party...of sorts. this is late-nite, too many shots of jack, i hate where im at-but it could be worse- music.

yes, tennessee is awesome.

and they're doing two shows at SXSW so i'm fucking stoked.

Okay, all I have by Lucero is:

-Nobody's Darlings (way boring and disappointing)
-That Much Further West (I really like it, but I think it gets too long)
-The Attic Tapes (I rarely listen to it, since the songs sound so simplistic and not really hashed out)

But, overall, I do enjoy this band, especially live. So, based on my judgements above, will I like this record?

-Scott

I really prefer That Much Further West. I've never really gotten into this one.
They're both better than Nobody's Darlings.

This is the best week of reviews in foreverrrr

Good ass album. And is it me or is this the album ever other Lucero fans measures against?
Personal Lucero favorites?
-Dante

It's acoustic and catchy like Rumbleseat, but Lucero doesn't just sound like an acoustic Hot Water Music. What I've heard of Rumbleseat is good, but it just sounds like a fun little side project. Lucero is sweet, though I'd recommend That Much Further West if you're looking to buy a Lucero album.

By reading this, to me, it sounds a lot like Rumbleseat. Any comparisons?

Lucero are simply amazing.
