Black Sheep Boy is an amazing album. It's my new favorite.

I've gotta agree with those who have been touting "For Real". I like how it starts out as a ragged 90s alt-rock type song, then morphs into something much more sleek and well crafted. Also, a cool little effect, in the intro, one when one guitar is playing a G chord another guitar creates feedback on an F note which makes it sound like a G7 chord is being played. It's a minor thing overall, but it's a cool little flourish that gives the chord a layered sound. As of now, though I've heard a few of their other songs, I haven't really paid close attention. i'll probably be giving them a second look. BTW...Is it just me, or do they sound a bit like Weezer?

I think it's just you. I don't really hear any weezer in there but then again I haven't listened to weezer in like 4 years.


Definetly an amazing band though.

Though I know that it never can be,
I’d be pleased to post your decrees, to fall at your knees,
to name all your streets and to sit down and weep
when you’re carried back through them and set down to sleep,
and to lie by your side for sublime centuries
until we crumble to dust when we’re crushed by a single sunbeam


A King and A Queen is my new favorite song.

They have something new out?

This is one of the first threads I posted in on MB. Ah Nostalgia...

Thanks. I try to maintain consistancy on the net since I'm failing there in real life lately.
