Good Song!
Quit whining about Duke. Kentucky & UCONN(the last 2 NCAA winners)with their coaches who have both been convicted of recruiting violations(UMass, Memphis for Calipari) are far worse than anything the Blue Devils have done in the last 25 years. You don’t have to like Duke, but you should at least respect the program.
I have to say this is a pretty fair review. Being a fan, I know Bruce can do better, but the new material definitely works better than “Working On A Dream” overall. Not really even close to “The Rising” or “Magic” though. The Seeger Sessions sound is there on several tracks, which I personally do not care for. Also recycling “Wrecking Ball” & “Land Of Hope & Dreams” is kind of unnecessary. It’s an okay album with some true low points and a couple of good songs. The best track being “We Take Care Of Our Own” by far.
“Sammy’s been right about everything so far.”Jeez… Takes some of the umph out of your comment when there’s a typo. Just watch this terrible Roth video.
Like it or not Tom, Sammy been right about everything so far. This song sounds like the horrible selling(look it up) garbage Roth regurgitated on his solo albums.
This might be sort of long-winded, but a little over 20 years ago I read an article in “Kerrang!” magazine about Nirvana. I knew nothing about them and the article painted them as the next big thing. Even suggesting that they should open up for label mates Guns N’ Roses, which in hindsight, is pretty absurd.
Anyway, a few weeks after that, I was working at the Camelot Superstore in Charlotte when the CD single of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” came in. I opened it up and popped into our CD player and heard their definitive anthem for the first time. It was so weirdly infectious. I was primarily into hard rock at the time, so hearing it was quite a revelation to me. I walked over to one of the hot girls who worked at the store and basically bragged about how this was going to be the next big thing. Of course I had no idea, but she said she liked it and I felt kind of cool for a second. A week later one of the label reps who I struck up a friendship with asked me if I had heard the new Nirvana album. He worked for another label but he had an advance cassette he gave me. That night I had a 40 minute commute so I listened to the tape and was blown away. I immediately told as many hip people as I could about how great this album was so that I could prove that I was really awesome and knew more about music than they did. For once, I was right.
word.
New “shit” is the right.
The bandwagon has officially fallen apart for Adele and James Blake. Congrats to a true artist: PJ Harvey!
Yeah they did the Mother Love Bone song “Stardog Champion”, as well as the TOTD tracks “Say Hello To Heaven”, “Reach Down” & “Hunger Strike” on Saturday. Sunday they did “Reach Down” again, as well as “Call Me A Dog” & “All Night Thing”.
Every “winner” and pretty much every performer on this horsesh*t broadcast, is on Universal or Sony/BMG. And Sony made damn sure to give Adele hilarious technical awards to keep her about to die hype going.
2 half-assed hacks that sound like sh*t together. Go ahead and hide this comment but it’s not going to help this garbage.
Pathetic list as usual.
Yeah don’t forget to hype James Blake again. You must be on the payroll like Pitchfork. There’s a reason no one is buying any of this guy’s “music” despite all the blog hype. Move on to someone that can play more than a damn keyboard.
F*ckin’ Adele? You guys obviously don’t know jacksh*t.
Yuck should have been a lot higher. Do you actually listen to any of these?
“White Limo” was a lot better. It rocks out a little at the end, but it’s still pretty bland. Hopefully the album will be much better.
As predicted… the boring ass musical stylings of the overhyped(primarily by PF) James Blake. I guess if you’ve got the money, you can buy the hype.
Finally something cool. Dulli’s voice has held up. Good album also.
Please Stop!
Every festival has to throw half assed rappers into every lineup. It’s a nice group of “artists” besides that.
I’m glad you like it, but… I’m tired of the Pitchfork hype(which Stereogum has maintained). I would at least like for an artist to stand on his own merits instead of being hyped as the next big thing. We’ll see how it goes.
That Yuck song is pretty great.
Yep. Nobody can sample like Kanye. A true original.
Thanks for more hype, Stereogum.
Incredibly sh*tty. Next…
I’m a Bruce fan but this song is almost Mellencamp Lite. The rap part at the end is ridiculous. He needs to work with Brendan O’Brien again.
