The Gold Record!

[Henrik]

THe Bouncings Souls put out a new record 2 month ago and i haven't seen a thread about it yet (sorry if one excists already).
What are your thoughts? I think it's pretty good and live up to my expectations.

Best song might be Letter From Iraq, nice to see them go political for once.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Album rules, The Gold Song is easily the best track.

[RetiredAt21]

It's pretty good, but I don't enjoy as much as I do HISMSV.

[team_racket]

fun fun album.

[Ghostfire3]

Really need to pick this up.

[Rise Me Up]

I think the Pizza Song might be my favorite from the album, followed by Lean On Sheena. Really great album.

[Henrik]

It's pretty good, but I don't enjoy as much as I do HISMSV.
I think How I Spent Summer Vacation is a bit overated, just a bit. I mean I really like it but a lot of the songs are just not good enough. Songs such as Privat Radio, True Believers, Manthem and Gone are really amazing songs and might be some of the best pop-punk songs ever written, but the rest of the songs can't really match them.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

HISMSV > most albums.

[sketchyjoe]

This is a solid album. Lean on Sheena's my favourite track.

[World Burns To Death]

HISMSV > most albums.
123

[The Fonz]

The Gold record is suberb. I found out that most souls fans who dont loe it right away, with eventually love it.

It opens Strong and For all the unheard is a spectacular closing track. I love evrysong. The pizza song gets very. very. bland after a while though. Its great when they play the songs live.


Letter from iraq= amazing, and from an actual letter from iraq.

Hopeless romantic is my other favorite Cd, then HISMSV

[Flagjacket]

I saw them lvie yesterday! I got to sing during Argyle!

[The Fonz]

no way.


I'm going to warped baisically just for them.

and against me!. and nofx perhaps. and my friend wants to see gogol bordello. which i dont protest to.

[Flagjacket]

Gogol Bordello wasn't at my Warped, but by sing during Argyle, I mean that he held out the mic and I was near it. AM! does a dissapointing set (plus I got a cramp and had to stop dancing) and I didn't see NOFX but I should've.

[sketchyjoe]

I got up on stage during True Believers when I saw them earlier this year.

[The Fonz]

:(. I was looking foward to AM!. eh, as long as i get my souls fix.

I saw them a week after The Gold Record came out. It was so so so so good.

[BostonBound988]

lean on sheena is an avoid one thing cover. check them out, bassist of mighty mighty bosstones and guitarist of darkbuster. but what a ****in great album...i cant say more about it or the band

[KASEYKASEYKASEYKASEY]

this album rules

even the kinks cover is good

why would anyone cover the kinks?

[AIRIC]

I really need to give this a good listen but obviously HISMSV was amazing.

Yeah, I was going to say the souls didn't even write that song.

[The Fonz]

Yeah, I know, but i like their version better.

And better things, although i've never heard the original, so i cant compare.

[Iron Bug]

The Gold Record is probably their 3rd or 4th best. Behind HISMSV, Hopeless Romantic and possibly their Self-Titled.

Even the souls admit that "Bouncing Souls" Wasn't very good.

[Henrik]

I like Kate is great alot.

That doesnt mean I don't enjoy it.

[The Fonz]

True. They dont have any bad songs, i just prefer other albums over it.

[<---NoFX--->]

This is a solid album. Lean on Sheena's my favourite track.

Also my favourite song on the album although it's really great from start to finish

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

Great album.

[TakeWarning]

Damn good album.

My favouite song is Lean On Sheena.

[BlastFunk03]

I heard a member of Flogging Molly worked with The Souls on The Gold Record, in producing it. I think it shows in the music, as theirs a hint of irish drinking punk blended with their signature pop punk, which ends up sounding awesome.

[ibanezman575]

great cd
bouncing souls are easily my favorite band

[tappenzee]

Great feel-good summer album... a much different feel than Anchors Aweigh, which I always associated with the changing seasons into fall, more depressed-mode type of album

I upped my thread on that one, in case anyone wants to chat about that

[Let's Chop Cats!]

LP Picture disc just came in, it looks sick.

[mtbaird5687]

saw them live at warped to. I had never even ehard of them, THEY KICKED SO MUCH *** ahhh

[Henrik]

The Souls would be my second favorite band to live right now. They are able to play one of the worlds best setlists if they combine all their best songs.

[TakeWarning]

It was ****ing homo, when they came to Australia they skipped Perth (population 1.4 million) and went to Hobart instead (population 475 000).

Still makes me angry.

[Ghostfire3]

Maybe they weren't able to book a gig in Perth.

[an0therface]

I had no excuse for missing them when they came out to Oz. It's a pitty you never saw them in Perth, but Hobart never gets anything down there. I had no idea Perth was that big.

[ert90]

This record is damn good.

They would have been one of the only reasons I would have gone to Warped but sort of skipped because I'd rather see them in a more intimate setting. I read on Whole Wheat Bread's myspace that they may be touring with the B-Souls' this fall. I would kill to see that show.

[Flagjacket]

I don't get the whole "intimacy" thing. When you see a big show, unless you're in the stands, the people still come down from the stage and stand on the barricade and stuff. And there's no stands at Warped Tour and the main stage with the Jack In The Box is the only one that gets massive crowds.

[sketchyjoe]

There's just something about being able to just jump on stage if you want to and fling yourself off.

[Flagjacket]

The Bouncing Souls set at Warped Tour made me hate crowdsurfers.

[sketchyjoe]

There's no point of crowdsurfing at somewhere like that.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

The Gold Song tabbed out.

[Iron Bug]

The Bouncing Souls set at Warped Tour made me hate crowdsurfers.
How much of the new album did they play?

[The Fonz]

They were pretty good. In Englishtown NJ, they played The Gold Song, and Lean on Sheena. Plus Lammar Vannoy, kate is great, True Believers, Private radio, and some more. I was a little dissapointed because I'm pretty sure they played all those songs last time i saw them in Philly on like.. June 10. They were still amazing. Crowd Surfing wasn't too much of a problem at the souls for me. The Pit was crazy, i lost my shoe :(. BUt then my friend found it later so it was ok.

However. I hate crowdsurfers. Is it wrong for me to just... step out of the way if they come by me.. and only attempt to catch them if it seems they might hit their head? Becuase afkdshfka, i swear, if one more crowdsurfer gets thrown on my head....

[randomtyping]

not as good as their past stuff.

[ibanezman575]

well obviously
still good though

[Tjebby]

The Gold Song is amazing.

[Anarcho Poser]

The Bouncing Souls set at Warped Tour made me hate crowdsurfers.
Everyone's set at warped made me hate crowd surfers. Particularly thursday's.

[AIRIC]

Where did you go to Warped?

[ChokingVictim]

I just find The Gold Record too slow. I mean, it's great for certain moods, but I don't know. If I want to listen to the Souls, I throw on Hopeless Romantic.

[The Fonz]

I just bought two tickets to see the souls at their only jersey show on the "Gold Tour". On october 13, with W/ifs, Needless to say, i am very exited.

[sketchyjoe]

WIFS and the Souls? That would rock so hard.

[The Fonz]

I Know, i. can't. Wait.

I just need to find a way there/back. Cab probably. Being 15 ftl :(

[Ghostfire3]

I can't wait for The Gold Tour. The Bouncing Souls, the Street Dogs, and WIFS. It's gonna be awesome.

Damn, you better enjoy it. Awesome combo. :thumb:

[Drop The Baby]

fu'cking sweet album.

Seeign them for the fifth time this summer.

[Ghostfire3]

I finally picked The Gold Record up. I like it.

[Liebensaft]

I love when tours skip Philadelphia.

[Henrik]

I love it when the only non-local punk band, who comes to Denmark, is The Casualties.... Up the punxxxx:angry:

[TakeWarning]

Heard the new Casualties song on the radio on Wednesday, it was terrible.

[Henrik]

Their songs often do so.
