New Lagwagon Album - Resolve
 

Best poppunk band lagwagon released a new album today, titled resolve.
I ordered it a couple of days ago but haven't got it yet.
If theres anyone who's got the album, I would appreciate you're opinion on it.
I can't imagine it is going to be a dissapointment.

I was never much of a fan of [i]Blaze[/i]. I always thought that it dragged out a little, and besides a few impressive standout tracks, it was quite bland.

[i]Resolve[/i] is a step up most definately, but it still lacks character. There are a lot more songs which have their own feel to them, much like those off [i]Let's Talk About Feelings[/i]. But I can't help but feel Lagwagon are trying too hard to come up with diverse riffs. Songs like "Automatic" and "Virus" feel a little gimmicky, even though both are fun to listen to.

6/10 from me. I think Lagwagon made a huge comeback after [I]Blaze[/I], even though this album hasn't been that well commercialized. Still, they can and have certainly done better.

As with Lagwagon, I need to hear their albums a couple of times. They all grew on me the more I heard it.

All of their albums had another sound. I guess Resolve is very different from Blaze. I only heard the song Automatic, I agree with you that it feels a little gimmicky and it don't really sounds like them. Also with Automatic, I needed to hear it a couple of times: the more I heard it, the more I liked it.

I don't think Lagwagon want their albums to be commercialized, they're not like that.

Yeah, Lagwagon have always tried to stay more low-key than other Fat Wreck bands. I really admire Lagwagon actually, for not jumping on this "We hate American/Bush/People/Whatever" bandwagon. They just play great music for fans, which is all that matters I guess. I just think Lagwagon have a sort of unoriginal sound. They have some amazing and addictive songs, but take them apart and it feels like it's missing something with a lot of them.

Still, there's worse bands, so why not just enjoy Lagwagon for what they are I suppose. Good album, I suggest picking it up. Not the best older style pop-punk album of the year, but a decent attempt

I can't wait for this album.

I loved Blaze even when Trashed or Let's talk about feelings still pwn it, and I agree their sound on automatic is really changed, but I definately trust on this band.

I've been listening to Lagwagon a lot. I just listened to [I]Double Plaidinum[/I] the other day. Great album.

I didn't even know they had a new one due out, but I'll make sure to listen to it when I can.

Listen to their live in a dive Spence.


NOW.

I not really into Lagwagon that much. I listened to some of their stuff a while back, and it was just okay for me.

I think I have like 5 albums from them on my computer...

Listen to Trashed.

Or at least to Coffee and cigarettes and Stokin' the neighbours.

[QUOTE=albert_bass]Listen to Trashed.[/QUOTE]
Okay, it's one of the 5 I have, so I will. :)

Cool, tell me your thoughts then when you do.

I was totally gonna make this thread yesterday, but none of the tracks on the new album has a title that transforms well into a thread title.

I think the new album sounds a bit rushed - albeit that probably just means it's more honest. It's good, but it's one of the Wagons weakest.

I just finished listening to it, and it was surprisingly good.

I'll probably have to dowbnload the new album at some point.

Well, trashed is just awesome. I don't think there's another Lagwagon album so great. Maybe try "Duh" and "Let's talk about feelings" next, I'm glad you liked it.

I can't wait

I never could get into this band, I love [I]Billy Club[/I], [I]Never Stops[/I], and [I]Falling Apart[/I] from Blaze, but the remaining tracks like Max Says really turn me off.

I think Duh is their best album. Then Trashed>Blaze=Double Plaidinum=Let's talk about feelings>Hoss.
I don't think that's really accurate; they're all awesome.

Haha, you always want to make an original thread title. It's difficult because all of the songs due to the life (and death) of derrick plourde, aren't they?
[QUOTE=sub-bass]I can't wait[/QUOTE]
Can't wait either.

They're pretty good, they're doing a big european tour soon so i'll see them on that. I reckon Duh is their best, but me and Albert could talk about that all day :)

The Live In A Dive's good then?

Just found you can stream the new album here. I don't have f'ucking flash or wahtever so i can't, but here you go: [url]http://punknews.org/[/url]

Haha that must be an interesting discussion.
I don't think i am able to see them on their european tour, too bad.

Live in a dive is a must have! It's good, it's funny. When you buy it it includes a cool and funny comic book.

I don't have audio on this pc, so i can't either. I expect it to be bad quality though. I just want to put the album in my cd player, now!

Yeah, they're all about Derrick, so the honest feel of it is a really nice quality - it's a more-than-worthy homage, elegy and legacy. But it feels a bit rushed.

I was sad about Derrick Plourde, as he played in so many great bands...Lagwagon, Bad Astronaut, RKL, Mad Caddies.

Man, the live in a dive is awesome. I wish I could see them live.

The only bad thing about it is they don't play the original Stokin' The Neighbours solo.


I'm wearing my Lagwagon shirt right now :)

They were awesome when i saw them live

Me too :cool:

I am lucky today: the album is lying in front of me and i am listening to it for the third time now.
I don't love it yet, but that's a good sign as i had the same with their other albums.
A good first impression though

Now i know what you mean. Maybe it sounds a bit rushed, but there are also a lot of short songs. I can't already tell if it is their weakest, it could be.

I love this album. It is a lot better than Blaze, which I throughly enjoyed. I get all nostagic and happy when I listen to Lagwagon. Been one of my fav. bands for about 8 years. When will they play a show in their hometown :angry:!?

I finally listened to it and I have to say I like it a lot. Maybe not like Blaze but I love it anyway. Virus is awesome and Automatic has grown on me.

i think days of new is the best song, the part "but we have never had met if it weren't for him, hey derrick" gives me goozebumps everytime i hear it.
