Hank Kingsley 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2007 Rhett Miller - The Believer I love Rhett, and this CD affirmed it. He goes the full range, from bubblegummy pop in "I'm With Her" to a really, really great duet with Rachel Yamagata entitled "Fireflies," a fantastic title track, and a remixed version of "Question," which just happens to be one of my favorite songs.

Guest Oedipus Rex Report post Posted February 17, 2007 Last night, I checked out some Modern Lovers, Gang of Four, and Wire. s/t, Entertainment, Chairs Missing. Instantly enjoyed the first, the second is growing on me bit by bit but I'm starting to really like it, third is still coming along but maybe I'm just too oversaturated with post-punk at the moment to give it its due.

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2007 Speaking of the Modern Lovers, this record store I visited while I was away had the debut on vinyl. I would've picked it up, but was surprised to learn that only nine of the 12 songs I'm familiar with—thanks to my long ago pirated copy—were on the original release. I didn't know that. Anyway, I passed, but it's still a pretty great album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gary Floyd 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2007 I got it last night via Rapidshare. It's only so-so, IMO. The song "Ocean of Noise" is pretty mediocre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2007 I'm gonna be in the minority here because I'm liking this as much, if not more then what I felt about Funeral upon first listen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2007 Bought it as well. Like it so far, though it's not as immediately arresting as Funeral. There's a lot more going on here, though--probably will take a while to digest. people still like the arcade fire? I do! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Banky Edwards Report post Posted March 7, 2007 Bought it as well. Like it so far, though it's not as immediately arresting as Funeral. There's a lot more going on here, though--probably will take a while to digest. Really? I don't think so. By and large, there's less. Fewer instruments in songs, no suite like The Neighborhoods, and less memorable hooks. There are a lot more lyrics, maybe, if only because of "Antichrist Television Blues" just going on forever, it seems. Love the church organ, but compared to Funeral, there's really not a whole lot going on. Too much acoustic guitar. EDIT: Eight-point-four, Pitchfork? Who you crappin'?

Annabelle 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2007 i hate to jump on the bandwagon. but i was a funeral supporter. but had this band not gotten ridiculous pub, and had the world tell them they were great, this album would be forgotten. its a middle of nowhere innocuous collection of nothing songs. i wasn't drawn in by the lyrical aspects of funeral. or the tortured and grieving mourners shit, but there were some serious foot stompers. there was some passion. now, they're reduced to these overproduced monotonous songs that illicit nothing more than indifference. how can someone who has been put to sleep expect to care about anything that is supposedly going on under the layers of this tripe. this band is too earnest, which is sorta funny considering they're supposed to be the leaders of this montreal scene which is totally fun & experimental & quirky. wait for the double album in two years, folks.

Guest Eagle Man Report post Posted March 7, 2007 That was very well put. Monotonous indeed. Everything between "Ocean of Noise" and "No Cars Go" is just there. Fourteen minutes of nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
