Love or Hate?

Oh right, here's one that you ignored in your Waits lineup.

Tom Waits - Big Time

You'll thank me later.

Sorry man, I love Waits but I'm not doing any live albums and anyway I know all the tracks so it would be a wasted exercise. Plus I've heard it anyway.

No live albums

? That's fine if you've already heard it, but these tracks are quite a step off from the recorded versions.

Track 1 (Love) Great guitar sound and I rather like the spoken vocal; reminds me of Waits (shut up) on “Shore leave”.
Track 2 (Love) Nice bassline, a little more restrained and downbeat but still good
Track 3 (Love) Back to the spoken vocal, kind of ominous guitar
Track 4 (Love) This is very downbeat, laidback. Well, for most of it. Like this a lot. Slow percussion is cool. Like the way the tension builds up too.
Track 5 (Love) This is just gorgeous: bleak, desolate, melancholy instrumental. Love it.
Track 6 (Love) Yeah, this one is great too.

End result: This is an album I have nothing whatsoever bad to say about. Truly exceptional.

So, Love or Hate? Duh! Love of course.

Chances of a full review: 9/10

Ah, glad you enjoyed it. It's one that firmly sits among my all time favourites.

I know that you've had kind of a bad experience with Frank Zappa, but I'm going to rec his album Apostrophe (') at you and we'll see if you stand with us or against us.

Hopefully with us, that album is the tits.

Sorry TH. I can throw a shorter of Montreal album at you if you like, and I'll keep length in mind next time.

Well, let's say no live albums of material I've already heard. So you'l be glad to know, no live Marillion or Genesis!

Nah it's okay; I'm through it now, all but the last track which I'm holding off on until the morning. I'll have my verdict up by tomorrow.

Spiderland is such a great fucking album.

Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution - A Call to Arms (2006)

Here's a cool little five-tracker. Strong ska and punk influences, but also very melodic and light on aggressive vocals.

Edit: HOLY **** YOU HAVEN'T DONE APOSTROPHE YET THAT'S EXCITING

I love that EP. I really wish they had done more.
