Just give a song, any song, that you're digging at the
moment, and then someone comes along and listens and reviews
it, then recommends their own song. Preferably a paragraph
and not some half-assed ''I liek it, cetchy! 7/10 lol''
comment. Don't suggest something like ''Alberto Balsalm by
Aphex Twin'', cuz, well... you know.

First person to submit a song that scores less than 5 gets
banned.

First song, let's get this show on the road and see if it
works.

Nada Surf (aha!)- Blonde on Blonde

Not ONE FUCKING TAKER? Is it because Soulseek is down and
you can't get it, or is it because you SUCK!?!??!?!?

If i would suggest a song that i particularly liked then i
risk banishment it sounds like. Odd. Well if i could
download your song i would. Although i don't like Nada Surf.
:\

I'd recommend John Cage - Dream but with shit down it will
prove difficult.

Nada Surf - Blonde on Blonde

I am not a fan of Nada Surf and only know them by their ONE
song from MTV, so yeah I was appraoching this track with a
BAD taste in my mouth.
This track starts out slowly and with a lovely melody of
guitar....Matthews voice is nice and I like the beat once
the drums kick in. Not a bad track but also not my tea. This
is nothing like their single, which is a GOOD thing.
I give it a 5 out of 10

-IL

ok here ya go:
Mad Season: All Alone

and what's with them stealing the bob dylan title?

so yeah, I didn't listen to the song...

Some thoughts about your post.

Thought #1 It's a song ABOUT Blonde on Blonde. ;-)

Thought #2 And you're supposed to review something before
you get to throw one out to be reviewed.

Thought #3 Give it a 4.9, eh? Well I'm not banning myself,
and I don't see any other mods around... looks like I fought
the law and won! Put that in your pipe and smoke it! Swish!

I'd keep the game going with the Mad Season song (at least
Iron Lung is obedient!) but SLSK is down and I'm not using
Kazaa.

okay NP, I myself thought this TOPIC was a cool idea...even
if Nada Surf was the first selection...Maybe once soulseek
picks up we can keep it going...

Mad Season - All Alone

A solid track and awsome closer for such a great album.
There are better tracks on the album though (ie River of
Deceit!), but it's definetly Layne Staley at the top of his
game here, so much longing and sorrow, pain and passion in
his droning voice. The album 9/10, the track 7/10 imo.

How about..... El-p - Accidents don't Happen

El-P- Accidents Won't Happen

It makes me shake my ass. The bass line reminds me off Down
Rodeo by RATM.

However, I don't like hip-hop and rap, so I'm biased. 6.5/10
because while it wasn't mah THANG, I respect what they're
doing, but knocked down to 6/10 because the naughty language
hurts my delicate my ears! :_-( Ahh!

Next- Arovane -Storm

hey ophecks man. you should really check out "four sail" and
"out here", the 2 albums after forever changes by love.
theyre very different but melodically theyre just as good.

I've got Da Capo, For Sail and Forever Changes... so I was
wondering where ''Doggone'' was from. I don't like the other
two as much as Forever Changes, but yeah, they're great too.
I did read about that big drum solo, but it wasn't
complimentary though. ;-) I'll check it out.


 

offline Ophecks from Nova Scotia (Canada) on 2003-03-13 21:47 [#00594283]
Points: 19190 Status: Moderator | Show recordbag



From Allmusic:

''Doggone," clocking in at 12 minutes and one second in
length, showcases a frenzied, mind-boggling
eight-and-a-half-minute drum solo''

Mind boggling, eh? OK, I changed my mind. I must do whatever
reviewers tell me. It must be good.

Points: 27799 Status: Regular



doggone is from "out here". both four sail and out here are
from the same sessions. arthur lee still owed elektra 1
albums worth so he gave them four sail and released out here
almost immediately after on another label.

the drum solo on doggone is brilliant imo. its very
different to other drum solos, and you may even recognise
some of it, i think dj shadow may have sampled it.

i think out here is great. unlike forever changes and four
sail, he was given more freedom to do what he wanted at the
time. the results are a wide range of styles from accoustic
to country to blues to full blown exdended jams. the best
track i think is the last track called gather round. but i
like all of it.
