Second Album Syndrome

[BohsPartisan]

Slide Away is a ballad pretty much just with added guitars.

What story does it tell?

It was the story of the big slide they have in Leisureland in Salthil.

Daft Punk -Discovery was a big let down after Homework
The Strokes - Room on Fire isn't a patch on Is This It

you could say they all are, noel wrote them on an acoustic in a warehouse if i recall correctly. i think you hit the point when you wrote 'added guitars.' maybe the only word missing is 'electric.' oasis mattered because they re-introduced precisely that instrument to the uk's languishing* beat-driven music scene. i don't think defintely maybe is much more than an ac/dc or status quo knock-off but, at the time, the record was a revelation.

*languishing by standards of the music press and general public at the time, i'm sure free jazz afficionados weren't that bothered by all the fuss

Swervedriver- Mescal head, I'd listened to the 1st cd "Raise" probably about a thousand times, I listened to Mescal Head, their second cd about 3 times.

Creeper Lagoon- watering ghost garden, changed their sound after the " I become small and go" cd, listened to it about twice.

Mudhoney- "Peice of Cake" what a Huge drop-off from Superfuzz BigMuff.

And marked man Howl is a class album

Maybe it passes for a class album in the county that brought us Daniel O'Donnell. Elsewhere, it sucks donkeys balls.

R&S definitely had its fair share of great moments I agree. Phat Planet is definitely their best song, full stop. But both El Cid and Rino's Prayer spoiled it for me.... whatever happened them?

Love both of those. Those, together with the dub tracks are the stealth part of the rhythm and stealth concept.

Only track I don't like (hate in fact) is Afrika Shox.
Then again, I do hate one track from the first album too ("Original" Bleughhhh...).

Saw them live at the Witness festival in 2002, I think. Classy stuff. Unfortunately they were right after David Gray, so I had to suffer through him first. (which clearly establishes my "leftfield fan" credentials.)

What are you saying about our Daniel he is the bomb.

Howl is a great album you obviously not a fan of blues music. It also showed BRMC were not a one dimensional band and they could play something a bit different from hard rock.

Well of course the country that brought us Billy Ray Cyrus would have far more discernible taste in music.

I feel pretty good about the fact that I don't know who that is.

Unlike yourself of course...

Well I hope you feel even better about the fact that you did know who Daniel O'Donnell was

You mean you haven't been hit with the Cyrus Virus?

Being Irish means you can't feel good all the time, and you can't not know who Daniel O' Donnell is.

The two may be connected, of course.
