BUTT 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2005 I know we have some AWK fans here, so I just wanted to see what you thought of his new song "You Will Remember Tonight" (go to http://www.andrewwk.com/main.php and click on the link for the song at the bottom). In my opinion, it isn't very good. It reminds me of some of the weaker tracks from The Wolf (an album which I liked very much), but I'd assume this isn't the bast he has to offer from his new album. Any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haws bah gawd 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2005 I'll give it a listen when I get somewhere with faster-than-dial-up internet access. I've been a big fan of this guy since the first time I heard Party Hard. He has a hell of a lot of energy, and his songs are always so catchy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Undertow Report post Posted August 3, 2005 Haha, I was a W.K. fan since I heard "Party Hard" on one of the Madden games. This new song, makes me sad. It lacks the ass-kicking attitude of his previous music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skywarp! 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2005 Whoever produced it sent the guitars to the background, instead of keeping them as bludgeoning as the previous albums. That's the problem here. Well, that and the fact that someone directed Andrew to sing properly, instead of grunting-howling singing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2005 God, I love this man. This song is great. Same overwrought everything, a marked variation in the actual sound and delivery, which is what made The Wolf such a nice change-up from the first album. Andrew W.K.'s diversifying his bonds and I'll be thrilled to add this next album to the collection as soon as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skywarp! 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2005 There is now a second song added to the site: "Kicks & Bricks". If you ever wanted to hear Andrew singing over somewhat '80s hip-hop drum machines, here's your chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2005 Loved 'You Will Remember Tonight' not so keen on 'Kicks and Bricks' but it veered towards the Springsteen Big Drums© in places and I think that route might yield better songs in future. I fucking love this man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skywarp! 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2006 Here's a music video that's supposedly from the upcoming album (heard no release date) "Close Calls With Brick Walls." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3LjzHGOAxg Also, looking at his website reveals that he has recorded music nonstop over the past 3 years, and as a result, plans on releasing 3 albums in 2006-2007. In addition, he currently has a DVD of live footage and interviews out, if anyone was unaware. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skywarp! 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2006 I'm still waiting to hear news if we will ever get a proper North America release of his Asia-exclusive album, but this new track on his MySpace, shows me why he might have thought we weren't ready. "When I'm High" is a strange little song, but he's definitely evolved his craft, and it's still head-slammingly awesome. I don't want to buy an import--I only hope we get this disc stateside eventually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BUTT 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2006 Only the first and last songs on it are good, by my estimation. There are many songs on it that are interesting musically but not that good as songs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2006 It's no The Wolf, which is one of the more underrated albums of recent years IMO, but it's really grown on me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2006 I'll give credit to AWK for trying something different, but this is kind of boring. Hey, he's doing a reasonable Mike Patton on "Pushing Drugs." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skywarp! 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2006 It's no The Wolf, which is one of the more underrated albums of recent years IMO, but it's really grown on me. Still haven't heard any of it, but supposedly the Korean version (which doesn't have the DVD that comes with the Japanese import) has four bonus songs that one Amazon reviewer (did I just hear scoffs?) said are better than anything on the proper album.
