…unfortunately, he landed in a pile of xylophones.
Just heard the advance of Get Behind Me, Satan.
I think a better title would have been Now, We’re Going To Suck Live EVEN MORE.
Ugh.
Well, I love the single, Blue Orchid, so am hopeful for the CD, but your review doesn’t sound promising…
A friend linked me to a site where I could stream the whole album on-line; I think it’s fantastic. More consistent than Elephant and far more mature (lyrically and musically) than anything they’ve done so far. I’ll definitely buy it.
The early reviews I’ve seen are absolutely glowing. I’m looking forward to it a lot.
I saw them last year in Houston and whatever they did was pretty much the opposite of suck. Haven’t heard the new one yet but will definitely give it a spin.
Yeah saw that Houston show too and they blew the roof off the dump. While their music may not be the pinnacle of musical acheivement, it is pretty consistently good. I purposefully haven’t heard the new one yet but I will buy it the day it is released.
The new album is really, really good—and the “xylophones” cut is one of my favorites.
