WHITE CROSSED over NEW WAVE for me
― 龜, Friday, 24 January 2014 01:34 (ten years ago) link
Production on NEW WAVE is also terrible fwiw. WHITE CROSSES is the only modern era AM! where they nailed it

Against Me! have been reportedly working on Transgender Dysphoria Blues in their own Total Treble Studio since February, with breaks to play out and to speak on camera about Grace's progress. While Butch Vig produced the band's last two LPs, Seward says Grace is, "recording the whole thing herself. Engineering, producing, (building) the studio — full-on everything."

I bet she has no hearing left. AM! shows are fucking loud
― 龜, Friday, 24 January 2014 02:27 (ten years ago) link
This record is so fuckin' great, just yes. I actually thought White Crosses was a minor dip in quality after New Wave, but I emphasize the minor part. This is probably the perfect length, actually.
Does anyone else get a strong noted ILXor band Aerosmith vibe on "FUCKMYLIFE666"?

this is so great
the production does strike me as kinda thin or something, all punch and no kick, but i get it
"unconditional love" and the title track are the immediate slayers here for me

From LJG's AMA:
Both "The Disco Before The Breakdown" and "Tonight We're Going To Give It 35%" are about gender dysphoria.
Thought of these two songs when the news first broke but wasn't sure
If you follow the jaw line down over the heart, the curves of your bone and muscle that make up your head to toe... It's just skin and thread, stitches and ligaments, words that we spoke only to regret. And I know they're going to laugh at us when they, when they see us out together "holding hands" like this. They wouldn't understand it if we told them all the reasons,not that I think this deserves any kind of explanation. And we'll, we'll make it up so we've got a smile painted on all the time, no matter what it's like on the inside. We'll keep this, keep us like a secret, cause if my family and friends ever found out about the things we could never be, haunts we'll all keep, so fucking bittersweet.And I know they're going to laugh at us when they, when they see us out together "holding hands" like this.

first listen this morning. devastating and exhilarating both, so great. speaking mostly of the lyrics and vocal performance. music is catchy and all, but i suspect it may wear thin.

yow, yeah, that's a hell of a thing (it's the sun in my eyes, i swear).
and after a couple more passes, the pop simplicity of the tunes is wearing quite well. could really have used this album circa 1986 tho.

like this better than either of the butch vig albums, and tho i still prefer the sound of axl rose, this is immeasurably more moving

okay, i fucking LOVE this album. dug it at first, with a few reservations, but now almost every song is my favorite. and the others are pretty okay too. i want to sing along, but when i do, i get too choked up to follow through, which only makes me love it all the more. nice to love something so unabashedly (and successfully) POP.
― CANONICAL artists, etc., etc. (contenderizer), Friday, 14 February 2014 04:06 (ten years ago) link
so if I buy this on CD does it come with lyrics?
FYI the 1st tack on the CD is mastered at -0.1 DB (I threw the radio station copy into a wav editor to make s clean version)
― sleeve, Tuesday, 25 February 2014 16:42 (ten years ago) link
The vinyl does, so I assume the CD would as well.

I thought the "Blues" part is redundant with dysphoria there already until I realized "transgender dysphoria" is the official diagnosis and now I'm cool with the whole tittle.

I made a quickly forgotten mental note to look for writing about this album by transgender women after someone asked about it on twitter or somewhere, but I just came across this:

that was great, have they always played several songs from Axl Rose? really happy that the 2nd guitar dude nailed all the backing vox in the bridge to "Unconditional Love"

for 9:30 club they were $40, and they sold out fast--a great show to be sure, but the steep price put me off of being interested.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 8 September 2014 21:07 (nine years ago) link
i would even have winced and paid 35 but 40 for a non-arena big rock club show is ridiculous to me
