Against me!'s New wave album...Makes me sick

chrisjamieson · 11-20-2009, 08:37 PM

I feel bad for the people who apparently don't listen to any bands on major labels. While I don't really love "..Cowboy", I think Reinventing Axl Rose was absolutely flawless. That being said, I also think New Wave is nearly perfect also. Sucks for people who want bands with amazing talent to stay in basement shows, but I imagine it sucks even more for the bands who lose fans because they gravitate as artists to know that people are so hatefully bitter that they deny them artistic integrity.

^^^ Both great comments. I don't feel as they lost a bit of integrity, they message is basically the same. I get that I'm in the minority as I'm not a huge fan of Reinventing...., but I love ...Eternal Cowboy and ....Former Clarity just as much as New Wave, all for very different reasons.

Reinventing is definitely one of my favorites. I just think that "Cowboy" was a turning point for the group. For me, the album is really a document of an immensely talented group who had the rare opportunity to put together a well-produced album on a major label without compromising much.
But I agree with one of the previous comments, that it's really sad that some of their earlier work has gone largely without due credit or praise.

honestly not a fan of theirs at all but the record had great production. and they kill it live.

Yeah they do. I saw them with Social Distortion a few years ago, and they were on it.

LOl @ this thread's first page of posts.

Have not heard of the group, if someone could link a video from that album this thread is about, would be awesome.

hahahaha

Yea, I'm a big ass AM fan,
but I heard at some shows Tom was refusing to play like every old song the people wanted to hear,
so I guess they sold out pretty hard.

I don't even care though.
The old stuff is still good,
that won't change.

If bands would just get ****ed up, play music, and have a blast,
it would be a pretty perfect world.
But I guess **** just can't be that easy..
