Yes but I wrote that comment 4 years ago.

It's a totally different band now, I have absolutely no interest in them whatsoever. They've taken what they had that was good & just flushed it down the toilet to make bland stadium rock. They want to do that, then fine. Doesn't mean I have to listen to it.

well "Use Somebody" is ****ing trash. But "Sex on Fire" was pretty great.

I'd take this latest album over their 3rd one with the broken lightbulb on it. Jesus was that miserable.

I like "Sex on Fire".. his vocals work perfectly with the song, and its just well a catchy fun song. Not great but good.

Also on that same album I really like Closer, Crawl, and I really adore the song Cold Desert.

Agree on 'Closer' and especially 'Crawl'. Those along with 'Sex on Fire' are the only songs on that album I like...

I heard their latest album first and kind of liked them. Then I downloaded one of their discographies and loved them.

My third house is probably one of the most played songs on my ipod.

Thus began my new listening strategy of checking out at least two or three albums by any artist I hear for the first time if possible b/c even if I don't like their more recent work I might like their previous recordings and vice versa.

Not a bad strategy... it's great to keep an open mind and check out what other qualities bands have to offer... Not every album a band makes will be one you instantly love, yet something iin their discography just might click!

^^ what i usually do is check out a bands earliest album (or the earliest one i can get my hands own) and then their latest. That tends to give you a reasonable feel of what their style is like and how much they have evolved (if at all). Plus it saves you downloading/buying an entire discography when you don't know if you'll like any of it. LOL

back onto the topic of KOL. My favourite song is either taper jean girl, the bucket or be somebody.
