This is pretty good radio rock but it's a shitty Baroness album.

"almost done w/first disc"

― scott seward, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 18:14 (eleven years ago) link
2!
18 songs total but quite a few are long-ish
― wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 18:14 (eleven years ago) link
yeesh. you would think THEY were blind guardian. i wish all these metal bands turning into classic rock bands were more...classic.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 18:16 (eleven years ago) link
hey are the ppl who like this really fucking w/disc 2?
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 18:27 (eleven years ago) link
on initial listen, dudes voice just does not work for what they are trying to do at all.

is it a good thing or a bad thing that I didn't impulse buy this in the record store today

i can't tell if you would like it? i think you might?
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 18:47 (eleven years ago) link
ftr I didn't buy it because I hated the cover
― PITILESS LIVE SHOW (DJP), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 18:49 (eleven years ago) link
man disc 2 is a slog! first thing i'm really feeling is the 2nd half of song SIX
― wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 18:49 (eleven years ago) link
omg I wish I hadn't read the word "Nickelback" on this thread because that's basically all I can think of now that track 2 has started
― PITILESS LIVE SHOW (DJP), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 18:51 (eleven years ago) link
i woke up around track 8
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 18:52 (eleven years ago) link
stretchmarker is kind of a nice quiet little instrumental so far....totally The New Year/Bedhead/cadane bros vibe
― wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 18:52 (eleven years ago) link
this is pleasant and all but I don't think I need to own this
― PITILESS LIVE SHOW (DJP), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 19:00 (eleven years ago) link
disc 1 is definitely the stronger of the two
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 19:06 (eleven years ago) link
so far "Green Theme" is my favorite track
am I gonna end up being the weirdo who likes disc 2 more than disc 1?
― PITILESS LIVE SHOW (DJP), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 19:37 (eleven years ago) link
entirely possible.
I agree wholeheartedly with your prior comment:

yes, if you like falling asleep

i already pre-ordered the vinyl but its not worth $40 + $26 shipping from relapse that its cost me. Certainly not top 10 album of year material, but the good tracks are really good.
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 19:47 (eleven years ago) link
for whatever reason, I am digging the moody atmospheric stuff much, much more than the "Nickelback covers Alice In Chains" stuff on disc 1
― PITILESS LIVE SHOW (DJP), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 19:50 (eleven years ago) link
When you realize it's a bit "Nickelback covers The Decembrists" you might not dig it as much.

It's obviously worth that to you, because that's what you paid for it.

holy shit 66 dollars for a baroness. you could buy like 33 saxon records for that money.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 20:02 (eleven years ago) link
eddie trunk from that metal show really likes saxon but not as much as UFO...don't get him started about UFO!
also one time there was a stump the trunk question about rush's fear trilogy (witch hunt, the weapon, and the enemy within) and he didn't know it and the guy was like "you know, like witch hunt from moving pictures" and eddie got sort of offended that anyone would think he liked rush after they got into synthesizers!

i wonder if the guy who owns relapse rolls around nude on $20s or $50s
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 20:06 (eleven years ago) link
not really. it would still cost $20 to ship an lp to the ukxp
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 20:07 (eleven years ago) link
I'm sure it's just offsetting the cost of RUMPLESTILTSKIN GRINDER or w/e
― camp lo magellan (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 20:08 (eleven years ago) link
Rumpelstiltskin Grinder are on Candlelight now. BURN.

listening to Free Hand by Gentle Giant man what a great record when mastodon make a record as good as this one lemme know. plus, its only 36 minutes long.

This thread is kind of all time, by the way, even if the Nickelback comparisons have forever killed the record for me.
― Hamster of Legend (J3ff T.), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 20:42 (eleven years ago) link
I can't hear Nickelback in it! Is everyone just accepting that that's for sure?
― Walter Galt, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 22:58 (eleven years ago) link
I heard Nickelback at first but it's fading after three or four listens. Second disc is growing too, but I'm still skipping a couple of tracks on it.
― ledge, Wednesday, 18 July 2012 23:04 (eleven years ago) link
Just listened to this today. I heard no Nickelback but the vocals got a little Scott Stapp-ish there in some spots IMO...
This is probably my favorite Baroness record yet but yeah, its got like 5 songs too many...
― Ring brother, ring for me! (Viceroy), Wednesday, 18 July 2012 23:15 (eleven years ago) link
i'm thinking a lot of you are maybe hearing more your idea of what chad kroeger's vocals sound like than his actual voice? cause if this is what nickelback sounded like i'd enjoy them a lot more.
― Mordy, Thursday, 19 July 2012 02:36 (eleven years ago) link
i really like it, tho i'm wondering whether the 5 best tracks from this and the 5 best from the christian mistress album would make a one-disc to rock the world
― Mordy, Thursday, 19 July 2012 02:38 (eleven years ago) link
otm. I thought at first you guys were just using "Nickelback" as some sort of shorthand for arena ready alt-rock, because this sounds absolutely nothing like Nickelback to my ears.
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 19 July 2012 02:38 (eleven years ago) link
oops otm to Mordy's first post
yeah i think ppl are using "nickelback" as shorthand for "5th-generation grungy radio rock"
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 19 July 2012 02:39 (eleven years ago) link
more in a theory of a deadman style
― tallarico dreams (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned), Thursday, 19 July 2012 02:43 (eleven years ago) link
it was just the voice for me. though i did keep replaying their songs into my head just to make sure there was some qualitative difference and i wasn't being fooled.
― ledge, Thursday, 19 July 2012 08:25 (eleven years ago) link
I never see Gentle Giant rekkids for cheap, if I did I'd have probably made an effort to get into them
also $66 holy moly, I'm sure the vinyl for this looks pretty but I can't imagine ever caring about format enough to spend, what, four times as much as the same thing would cost on CD?
― price lo matalan (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 19 July 2012 09:13 (eleven years ago) link
There's definitely a spectrum on this from alt-rock to whiny indie, with Little Things & Psalms Alive at the whiny end, vocally + lyrically + musically.
