I dunno, it has some decent songs, but also some terrrrrible ones.

Album Rating: 4.5

productions awful writings awful lyrics are awful the few good melodies that manage their way out are immediately suffocated by the rest of the horrible writing and motherfucking 2x tigers is nauseating

2X tigers is indeed the worst offender.

in answer to your question: man had written some of the most acclaimed songs of the decade, probably had labels chomping at the bit to sign him and was dating Charlize goddamn Theron. his moves from there were to sabotage the album that could have been a challenging and experimental followup by suing Kevin Cadogan out of the band and ditching his songs, breaking up with Charlize and writing some creepy ass stalker songs about her (Blinded? anyone?) whilst rebounding by dating a woman 16 years younger than him.



I would have given up on the man a long time ago if he hadn't kept writing songs I can't help but love (e.g. My Time in Exile, My Hit and Run, Shipboard Cook) but now he's released an absolute turd of a new album and is suing his OTHER guitarist in a mirror image of what happened around Blue. basically what I'm saying is the man makes himself almost impossible to root for with his self sabotaging egotrip shit.

Thanks for the response man. I get it. Blinded is a great fucking song though, one of their best — but could be creepy. I never took it literally, more froM THE POV of a stalker a la The Police’s Every Breath. OOTV is a great fucking album though. Faster is fucking gold Jerry gold.

I absolutely believe Zach Lind though dude.

Following on from my earlier post. It turns out Stephan Jenkins cancelled on the in-store performance at the last minute, so Zach didn't have to run into him at the end anyway. I decided not to go to Stephan's acoustic show anyway because I was enjoying my fajitas at las iguanas too much. Zach tweeted "he didn't even bother to show up for the 10 fans who would have come". Feisty. I got my Surviving LP and CD signed by the band and the show was great btw.

jeez, i was never into this band enough to know that much about the backstory but when you put it like that it's really quite striking, & more than a little bit sad. at least they were able to put out a couple more good ones despite all this

the end of the most recent Your Favorite Band Sucks episode had me thinking they were gonna be doing these guys on the next episode, turns out they're doing Nickelback but goddamn a TEB ep would(/will, hopefully) be fun

Album Rating: 4.0

lol they're doing an episode on nickelback? talk about low hanging fruit I thought they only did bands that are generally well respected
