I'd say 80% of my listening has been truckers. Absolutely bloody love that album.

Between this and Nixon I've been playing a lot of 'Chop recently, once I've had enough of this I'll go for Is a Woman and the rest of the discog.

Zak the Truckers is a lifer innit?

There's a real drive (shite pun intended) behind it.

The only bad thing about it is it's more evidence that the only people who really do get to the root of rock are people over the age of 40.

Rock has flipped on its head to be an old mans game.

It's true, everyone and their cousin can do the indie rock stylings, but there's not much true rock in this day and age. I still have a lot of old rock to discover so I'm happy but I can see how it can be frustrating. Will true rock be dead in another 20-30 years?

Of course not! Rock is a state of being.

Exactly. The best thing ever to identify yourself with, so it will undoubtedly be abolished by the arseholes.

sorry to differ with you here, Doof, but although this new release is still another solid work by the band, I really don't think the autotune adds anything new or interesting, on the contrary, it gets pretty boring and one-dimensional by the 3rd track.



No thank you. shame, because instrumentally it's probably their best from the ones i've listened to.

rabidfish - I like albums where there's a layer that 'gets in the way' at first (see 'Garden of Delete', 'Endless Summer', 'Does it Look like I'm Here'). First three listens I was with you, the auto tune seemed to smother everything...but then suddenly you break through the clouds.



Saying that I recognise this album isn't going to be for everyone. It is still very odd.

I could see how someone would find this a sort of one trick pony but I think it's very beautiful and deceptively intricate.

I dunno man, I mean there are some really interesting tracks like t/t or NIV that lose a lot of power because of the auto-tune (imho)

I mean I normally detest autotune/any other vocal effects but I think they work perfectly here.

I love albums with a singular aesthetic and all enveloping atmosphere like 'Kaputt' so this fits perfectly in that category.



Lambchop have done the traditional 'Chop sound to death and so as someone who has listened to most of their discog this change in sound comes as such a welcome surprise.



Would I want five more albums in this style? Prob not - but as a one off I think it's close to genius.

I was tempted to fuck this right off but something keeps drawing me back to it. There's something here.

Yeah zak there's an intriguing quality here, hard to explain but it's really something. "The Hustle" is a SOTY contender.
