Re: How are ya' likin the new Jane's record.
It has its moments, I guess. Underground , End to the Lies & Curiosity Kills get things off to a great start in terms of fluctuating moods and textures. After that, the album settles into a pretty dull slog, I must say. There are a couple of bright spots (the distorted burbling intro to Twisted Tale...

Re: Production of TGEA
Said it before - this is a headphone record. Listen to it on a good set of cans and it just comes to life. There is just so much detail but a lot of it gets lost when heard out loud. The only song that I think is really dense is ETTL (and the most TVOTR ish), but again, on headphones it works. I th...

Twisted Tales over: 1. Pigs in Zen 2. Idiots Rule 3. Slow Divers 4. Mountain Song (there... I said it, I just don't fe...

Re: The official "The Great Escape Artist" thread
I'm on my 2nd spin, and I'm already liking TGEA dramatically more than the first time around. "I"ll Hit You Back" is really sticking in my mind this time around. Overall, the only tracks I don't like are "Splash" and "Words Right Out of My Mouth." Everything else is definitely keeping my interest. :...

Re: Favorite (if any) Strays song?
I actually think The Riches is really cool. That slamming drum breakdown, those bouncy verses and the weird, slow outro with that haunting, echo-y guitar - definitely sounds like I'd imagine a latter day Jane's track to logically sound like. And speaking of, True Nature is pretty much the epitome of...

Re: Song Previews
I'm a relatively new fan, so my view might be a bit skewed, but these samples kick the living shit out of Strays (which has approx. 2 songs I can stand). I haven't listened to them all yet, but I'm seriously digging the direction and energy - IF was definitely the weakest of the lot, if these previe...

Re: Irresistible Force music video released
I love the musical side (especially Dave's solo), hate the verses, and I'm ambivalent toward the chorus. IF is a mixed bag for me, as is the video. There's some neat effects here and there. But the song is short enough that it's worth enduring the weak verses to get to the solo and dig the cool inst...

Re: Go back in time: KW
I must be one of the few that really, really digs the version of KW on this. Definitely a track I can get lost in with the little electronic flourishes that bubble in and out. Otherwise, the album has its moments, with So What and Jane Says being highlights for me. City is an awesome way to close th...

Re: Album Cover
I like the album cover a lot actually - It's way better than Strays. Definitely not even remotely what I was expecting, and it successfully got an audible "...the hell is that?" out of me. And it instantly made me think of the P4P album cover, which I've always been fond of. :bored: I'm also surpris...
