cbacon 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2006 The Strokes - First Impressions of Earth Listened to half of it, reserving judgment for later. Is the Belle and Sebastian album any good? I've been meaning to check them out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snuffbox 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2006 In all seriousness....Tool should have a new cd out and a tour by Fall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2006 Every year that's passed since the last Tool album has found me liking them less and less, and I used to love them. I feel like, while interesting musically, any of their songs that have lyrics have the same sort of half-life that Nine Inch Nails does, with Tool lasting a few years longer until you get tired of the sentiment.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted January 12, 2006 That's about the size of it. It's big and complicated music for people who can't understand big and complicated music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Annabelle 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2006 i sorta liked the new strokes album. its rockier. kinda crunchy. seems the change has alienated some of its "original" fans. too bad the single reminds me of hash pipe. i also enjoyed the greatest. haven't bothered with anything else yet.

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2006 Hey, Cat Power. How does it compare to You Are Free? It's a bit fuller sounding, yet the songs are kind of slight. It's not bad by any means, but I don't know if it has much of a replayability factor. For the record, I felt similarly about YAF. And, as of this post, I'm two songs into the new Lilys album. Good so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2006 Is the Belle and Sebastian album any good? I've been meaning to check them out. I'd say it's their best full length since If You're Feeling Sinister, but I doubt that means anything to you. If you're new to this band, check out IYFS or the recent Push Barman to Open Old Wounds comp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2006 Now I am listening to the Strokes' First Impressions of Earth. I've managed to avoid listening to the Strokes for over four years now; Julian Casablancas' voice is as grating as ever. Why did I download this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2006 I think the band is aptly named, since I'm willing to bet that writers are doing some absentminded masturbating while writing all those pieces on these five RICH, HOT young men, who know they don't have to be deep if all they wanna do is drink and fuck, who are FINALLY bringing New York back to its rightful post-punk supremacy! P.S.: Something about CBGB and Television! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2006 Every now and then, there'd be a song with a nice melody or guitar line, but then Casablancas starts his Downsy wailing and kills the song's momentum. Not that they'd be better with a different singer; that they occasionally come up with a nice hook seems more an accident, given the overwhelming mediocrity of most of their output.

Kinetic 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2006 You guys just don't understand rocking. The new Strokes album is pretty solid and is really only hampered by some schlocky production and one or two poorly chosen guitar parts on a few songs. It's more than half good.

cbacon 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2006 I'd say just about half good. Juicebox and Razorblade being the stand out tracks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
