That is awesome. I remember Head coming out with Motorhead skis a while ago, I'm still kicking myself I didn't get those. Bands should do this a lot more.

This is their best LP in a few.

Can't think of another band who phone in their best music like they do

I like the new album but fuck this wasn't I thread I expected to open and burst out crying.
It's still on the wall though:

what can i say besides this is the perfect rock band and everything they do kicks ass, new album no exception

otm
I was inspired enough to finally pick up those 2019 Cherry Red reissues of the post-Jayloumurph lineup albums, mainly for all the B-side cleaning up and live shows.

i like this band whenever i hear them but do they have more than one song
― Free Palestine (Left), Friday, 14 May 2021 17:54 (three years ago) link
that's not an insult the consistency is impressive & inspiring but do they ever go proggy or anything
― Free Palestine (Left), Friday, 14 May 2021 17:55 (three years ago) link
they don't go "proggy" per se, but they do loosen up and jam a lot on farm. the early albums have a fair amount of weirdness, especially in the lou barlow contributions. recent albums have a few barlow contributions but his sensibility has grown closer to j's.

thx i remember enjoying farm when it came out but i only listened to it once i think. amazing cover
― Free Palestine (Left), Friday, 14 May 2021 18:04 (three years ago) link
lol, I was going to say, that's not fair, between 1985 and 1988 and since 2007 they've had two, with the Lou songs

I heard “Little Fury Things” on my return commute today, and I was reminded of how beautiful and wistful it is. Also, nothing on their post-reunion albums approach its greatness or the highs on You’re Living/Bug/Green Mind
― beamish13, Saturday, 15 May 2021 00:10 (three years ago) link
they just became a more conventional rock band, an excellent one but not quite the same i agree

Seems crazy that the beginning of this thread was 20 years ago!

J’s guitar tone may be the most comforting sound I know.
― Mule, Saturday, 15 May 2021 10:31 (three years ago) link
I saw them in a small club in 1987. You're Living All Over Me held up well last time I checked, but I don't know much after that except "Freak Scene." I think I'd see this, though.

I hope Dave Grohl's in it lots.

Nice. Will definitely seek this out. They're *still* strangely enigmatic to me.

Jamming the 1991 Hollywood show that came with the Green Mind reissue from a few years back, I love this band.

Mascis does some stellar guitar work on Sunburned Hand of Man's "Prix Fixe" from this year that's definitely worth seeking out.

Didn’t like as much as I expected to though
Nope. Sounds like Guitar Center.
― Cow_Art, Wednesday, 15 November 2023 20:28 (six months ago) link
Agree, it was just sort of cool they played a MBV song and then the Cure cover but the performance was just sort of there.
― Bee OK, Wednesday, 15 November 2023 20:50 (six months ago) link
I read about Richard Aoyade guesting with the band this morning. But not sure when was that the same London show.Hadn't known he played guitar before that. Think it was Lou's feed on FB.

They should have got Graham Linehan to sing Don't
