The new Blood Brothers album is unbearable. The raw energy is gone and was replaced by a screaming ferret with no balls. I hate how they "tried to get different pitches" on their new album, just scream naturally, and stop wearing girl pants, they cut off circulation to your nuts, making your voice higher.

But yeah, Hot Water music are terrible now. The last Small Brown Bike album was really depressing. The last Black Eyes album was annoying. I didn't like the new Plot to Blow Up the Effial Tower's new album either.

Get Ready was a like a car made of pure awesomeness refined till it's all crispy and covered in crystallised cool. Admittedly their last album was more along the lines of a burnt out wreck of a VolksWagon that had become a lavatory for homeless drunk people.

Trollstormur:
Falconer, what Khar said, and I think that covers it.


I know what happened to falconer, they lost their amazing vocalist.

SeanBateman:

--- Quote from: The Texas Hero ---Springsteen. I wouldnt say his new stuff sucks, but it seems that Tunel of love was his last realllly great album 9even if the synth is dated). The rising and goast of tom joad both had a couple decent songs on it (Youngstown is one of my fav springsteen songs ever). But the abomoniations that where lucky town and human touch have enough shittyness to overule them. Devils and dust is a step in a decent direction, but some of the lyric arangements kinda bug me.

I really like both of the newest albums. Rising is good, But Devils and Dust feels like something brilliant to me.

The Texas Hero:
Devils and dust grew on me realllly quickly. I think the fact that Nebraska is my favorite album of all time, it kinda kills D&D a bit for me. Both being acoustic and whatnot. I liked a couple songs off the rising, but the entire album isnt anything special. The first 3-4 springsteen albums had about a 90% great song rate on them. GFAPNJ has one less than steller song (mary queen of arkansas), BTR is near perfect and same for darkness on the edge of town. Nebraska is the perfect springsteen album IMO with "the wild,innocent and the e street shuffle" at a close second.

So I guess the thing that upsets me about Bruce, is the fact that his early albums where full of great songs. Where as his newest albums have a little more filler to me.

I will say though, Long time comin' seems like its the continuation of Rosalita. In rosalita you get two teenaged lovers, rosies parents dont like the guy cause he "plays in a rock n roll band". Kinda your quintessential good girl/bad guy thing. Then in Long time comin' its about a guy married to a girl named Rosie and how he's had a couple kids and has settled down, but the love is as strong as ever.


But the thing I absolutly LOVE about bruce, is his ability to cross genres so easy. He went from Lucky town which was upbeat rock, to the ghost of tom joad which was country roots inspired, back to the upbeat stadium style of the rising, and then back to country with devils and dust.

Even early in his career he went from story telling to straight forward rock on darkness. And then he went from Hardcore stadium pop songs, to the more brooding and introspective tunnel of love.


Man. Didnt mean to write a friggin' book on springsteen. BUt it is one of my favorite subjects.
