Keep It Hid

I can't get much into Rubber Factory, but I love Chulahoma.  Is it anything like that?

Note: I do actually enjoy Rubber Factory, I just enjoy Chulahoma much more.

Scandanavian War Machine:
yeah, it's kinda Chulahoma-ee but with more acoustic-y stuff and also a couple songs with really sweet electric guitar riffs. there's even a quiet organ in one song.


and also, are Chulahoma and Rubber Factory the only Keys albums you've heard? if so, get all the other ones immediately. they are all fantastic but the style varies enough from album to album you don't really get bored. it's pretty interesting to listen to them in chronological order and see how they progress over time.


edit: also worth noting is that this isn't one of those albums where all the good songs are at the beginning and the stuff at the end is more or less negligable. some of the best songs are actually towards the end of the album, so it'd do you good to listen to the entire thing before making a real judgment about it, even if it means you find just one song you love and don't care about the rest.

double edit: @ Dimmukane (Sean? is that right?) have you not heard The Black Keys? you should definitely look into them if you like this cd; it's the same singer/guitar player with just one other guy (the drummer) and they have released like 6 cds over the years (five full-length), every one of them wonderful.

Dimmukane:
Yes, it's Sean.  No, I haven't heard The Black Keys' stuff before.  Yes, I will check them out soon.  Would you consider it to be good homework music?  I've got a bunch of research stuff to do this weekend.

Scandanavian War Machine:
i haven't done anything even remotely like homework for four years so i really couldn't say. i guess it would vary from person to person but for me, i can't concentrate on much of anything without having music to sing along to while i do it so...maybe? do you prefer calmish music or harder music to work to? their newest cd Attack & Release would be the former, while their second cd Thickfreakness would be closer to the latter, while everything in between would be...inbetween, i suppose.
