Top Albums of 2009: Part I

<< < (49/112) > >>

scarred:
It was his major label debut. Therefore, they probably wanted him to include all his hits for proper distribution.

Lolocaust:
true. i guess i'm just not a fan of hearing old songs reproduced by any band in any genre since it's weird when you have listened to the original for months.

scarred:
Yeah I agree.

But the new songs are ace. "Cave In" and "Umbrella Beach" are worth the record alone.

Lolocaust:
yeah some of the lyrics do annoy me though. dental care for instance. i feel like more people would take him seriously if he improved the lyrical department of his stuff..although i guess the childlike feel to them is sort of the point but still, it's hard to listen to a song with these lyrics:

I've been to the dentist
A thousand times, so I know the drill
I smooth my hair, sit back in the chair
but somehow I still get the chills

Have a seat
He says pleasantly
As he shakes my hand
And practically laughs at me

Open up nice and wide
He says, peering in
And with a smirk he says,
"Don't have a fit, this'll just pinch a bit"
As he tries not to grin

When hygienists leave on long vacations
That's when dentists scream and lose their patience

Golf and alcohol don't mix
And that's why I don't drink and drive
Because, good grief, I'd knock out my teeth
And hafta kiss my smile goodbye

TheFuriousWombat:
Not out yet but I've heard a  excerpt from the new John Twells (aka Xela) and Matt Christensen (from Zelienople) collaboration on Digitalis and man is it good! Cannot wait for that to arrive. I don't see how it won't be on my Top 20 list and I wouldn't be surprised if it found its way into my top 10.
