wow, resurrected....
for awhile after posting this and seeing what pitchfork had to say about it left me feeling like i was a lemming....
but ive never really cared what anyone else says anyway, i still like it alot.
i think that i overplayed it for awhile when i first got it, now i guess ill have to go back and listen again. kind of reminds me of how radioheads pablo honey gets picked on nowdays, (seems like the cool thing to do.) i reserve the right to judge these guys until they come up with some new studio recordings before im willing to write them off. once again, in the world of music taste, one mans trash is anothers treasure and i dont subscribe to what anyone else has to say about it, i like it very much and for those who dont, sell your copy. it is up there in my top five of the last year, whether or not people want to compare it to other bands in respect to sounding like someone else, which i dont really see. there are so many bands who sound like the next coldplay or other johnny come lately bands but for me it doesnt ring true.
like it or not, if these guys roll with the punches like radiohead and change their musical style from album to album i think they have a bright future.
