could never happen. dave would never wear white.

"Why don't we dress Eric in a monkey suit?" suggests bassist Billy Gould, jokingly offering up the dignity of keyboard tech Eric Baecht.
Hey, I know that guy! Really good dude, he was Thurston's tech for a long time... better known as E-Rock. :rockon:

Saw them last night, set list was
Motherfucker
Be Aggressive
Caffeine
Evidence
Epic
Sunny Side Up
Get Out
Midlife Crisis
Everything's Ruined
Gentle Art Of Making Enemies
Easy
We Care A Lot
King For A Day
Ashes To Ashes
Superhero

Encore-Matador and From Out Of Nowhere

I thought they were great. Webster Hall only holds 1500 people so it was great seeing them in such a small place. Motherfucker into Be Aggressive was a cool opener, We Care A Lot had the same guest as in Brooklyn a few years ago, Rahzel, who rapped a verse in the middle and did beat box stuff. I'm a little mad at myself, I left during Matador so I could get the 10:39 train home. I wasn't that into previous show's encores, it was usually From The Dead or I Started A Joke so I figured I'd beat the rush to get out and make the earlier train. If I knew they were closing with From Out Of Nowhere I totally would've stayed and gotten a later train. My stupidity aside, they were pretty great.

This album is being played HEAVILY in my current rotation. Damn good!

This is what bands that reform after an extended hiatus should strive to create.

Same, it's been on constant, singular rotation (therefore not rotation I guess) for the last week... I'm trying to recreate the full immersion that both The Real Thing and Angel Dust got when I first bought them many, many moons ago.... I know those records like the back of my hand so I want to do the same with this one...

so far I'm really impressed with the record.. It's up there with TRT and AD, though a different beast entirely....

I haven't heard the album, but I was surprised to hear that they'd named it Sol Invictus (Roman deity, the unconquered/invincible sun). This god, like numerous other Indo-European solar deities, rides a sun chariot across the sky. His main celebration was his birthday on December 25, but on our calendar it falls a few days earlier, on the winter solstice, which is right where it belongs, and that's really where Christmas should be, since the entire reason it's placed around that time is to coincide with the solstice (birth of child = rebirth of sun).

Anyway, why is the album called Sol Invictus? Because the band is rising again, unconquered? That's my guess, but it almost sounds too dignified for them.

Too dignified? Probably. Too ironic? Probably not, given the title of their last album lol

Me either. I gave it a shot. Just didn't hook me.

All the elements are there, it just didn't seem like any of the songs turned out any good.

I really like Motherfucker, Superhero and Separation Anxiety but the rest of the album leaves me cold.

I'll agree on Motherfucker. That turned out well. That seems like a FNM song to me.

But the rest just... yeah... leaves me cold. I just can't see myself driving down the road jamming out to any of them.

It shits all over Album of the Year and is better than KFADFFAL.

I haven't been this impressed in a record from an old school fave in a long time, I think it's great.

I've given this album a week of constant listening now. It's absolutely fantastic. For me, Separation Anxiety is the standout track.....of 10 standout tracks.

How can Faith No More continue to produce the goods and Jane's lost it in after 1991?

It rewards repeat listens. In some ways, it's as weird as Angel Dust, though maybe not lyrically.

I'm happy for Jon Hudson. He finally gets to spread his wings while simultaneously synthesizing the disparate stylings of Jim Martin and Trey Spruance.

Listen harder.
