[QUOTE=Skrunnch]Crime isn't that good anyway.

Best album = As The Eternal Cowboy[/QUOTE]

One two three.

[QUOTE=TakeWarning]One two three.[/QUOTE]
I agree as well.

RAR has gotten kinda boring. SFAFC is ok. But I'm loving ATEC at the moment.

Sif! But I agree with the comments on the other two. I need to pick my guitar up from you some time soon.

I sitll think its a great album..but I've listened to it so much its kinda lost its touch... But i go through phases of things. So I will love it again soemtime soon.

And yea, just come around whenever and grab it.

TakeWarning 02-25-2006 04:35 AM

I prefer the Crime versions of I Still Love You Julie and Walking Is Still Honest. One of the reasons which I don't like RAR that much.

Henrik 02-25-2006 06:28 AM

RAR's version of Walking is still honest is awesome.

Flagjacket 02-25-2006 09:18 AM

RAR's versions of songs all fail, except for Pints of Guiness. The RAR original songs are all good though.

ATEC = RAR [U]>[/U] SFAFC

Brain Toad 02-25-2006 01:44 PM

Crime > all
And I enjoyed SFAFC more then ATEC and RAR, not to say its better, I just enjoyed it more.

Buzzbomb 02-25-2006 05:15 PM

Out of the full length albums RAR is the best. I can listen to that many time, the lyrics on it are very good. ATEC is good but its a slight departure from RAR, and SFAFC was kinda boring except for a few songs.

Nerdcore753 02-25-2006 07:08 PM

I find RAR pretty boring now, and i still don't like SFAFC much.

Crime, Acoustic EP, and ATEC are all tied for me.

You ain't kiddin'.

It's too bad they're on a major now, and could get a better lawyer, otherwise, I'd write that Dirty fellow and suggest he press charges.

rawdog 02-26-2006 04:07 AM

I saw the today! It was pretty goood, I remember, last time i saw them, in '04, it had a better atmosphere, but it still kicked arse. I got Warrens set list, its in my room, Ill post what they played later.

When they're playing in London they're being supported by Murder By Death and No Choice.

Murder By Death, despite the awful name, are pretty good from the few songs I've heard. Quite dark and atmospheric but also a cool traditional vibe. A bit like a more alternative The Devil Makes Three.

No Choice are a Dillinger Four-esque political punk band from Wales who are good at what they do.

It should be awesome.

Liebensaft 03-04-2006 09:14 PM

I can't wait. I'll see you there, Joe.

TakeWarning 03-04-2006 10:38 PM

Murder By Death are incredible.

[QUOTE=nitzguy]that dude is sweet.:chug:[/QUOTE]

My friends and I are making shirts of Dirty, we send him a message about it and he gave us his blessing and asked if he could have one .

On the front its gonna have the rip off of rar then on the back its gonna have "....and Dirty hates to be alone "

Murder by Death played with them the first time I saw them. Their cello player is awesome, and vaguely attractive. They aren't too bad of a band either, though nothing I'd write home about.

YOU'RE ALL WRONG! The acoustic EP,and Crime is where its at.

But as for albums, i'ma gonna break this down...
RAR>SFAFC>Cowboy.

As the eternal cowboy was my first AM! album, and i love it to death. Most bands couldn't throw an album of that calibur together to save their lives.

But RAR is just heaven, songs like Jordan's First Choice, Pints of Guiness, and 8 Hours of Sleep are in a league of their own. Clarity is really good, but not in the way the other two are. I think that with SFAFC, they show so much growth. The "folk" feel is starting to wear off, but it's somehow not a bad thing. I think that instead of "selling out" or "losing cred" against me is just moving on. Good for them.

Favored bands from a time not long gone
Now fortune they've found, and from my shelves they've been torn
Green in their eyes, they've failed to see
Stricken with fame, they're now dead to me

Former practicioners of anarchy
Flooding the airwaves of cable tv
Swayed by their mounting greed
I raise my glass to you....dearest Against Me!

You're losing touch, Mr. Gabel, betraying your roots
I'm searching for a former clarity not found in music video shoots
Do you remember "Crime...?" You used to give 'em hell
You really ought to reinvent yourself

Not dying for what you worked, merely being paid
Now walking is only honest every couple of days
Gaining new fans faster than they could ever be lost
You've done yourself well, Tom, but at what cost?

Role models of last week occupying the garbage can
Say so long to another once-faithful fan
Major labels and mediocre albums are where one must draw a line
I'll find a new band to like for a month before they turn into greedy corporate swine

Mr. Gabel, I sing this song for you
I used to believe the words you sung held true
Your ideals ripped and faded like your designer jeans
Can you still recall quite what anarchy means?

Former practicioners of anarchy
Flooding the airwaves of MTV
Swayed by their mounting greed
I'll really miss you, dearest Against Me!

DaveToopes 03-07-2006 07:23 PM

Post that in songwriting too.

Liebensaft 03-07-2006 07:28 PM

nice, if i were you id do something about this line "I'll find a new band to like for a month before they turn into greedy corporate swine". its too long and doesnt fit the rythm of the rest of the song, shorten it.
