11/10

I got this CD when it came out (I was ten 😂) and loved it. I played it so many times. Listening back, it's just a little too polished for my tastes. It all sounds a bit too loud and compressed. There are some great songs and melodies in there, but damn, the vocals really suck. A shame there wasn't better singing and rawer production.

I am new and thank you for saying hello 😊

10 tracks, 8 songs!

I know im late, but awesome video and awesome song

This is my favourite record of that decade. But only clicked with me fully last year. 😅

IT BLOWS

the mix on the first album is not muddy. this kid has this point wrong. just crank regular john or if only on studio speakers. amazing production throughout.

Great review!!! Thank you for taking the TIME to listen to it song by song and really give your thoughts on each song and many of them I agree with and others I have my own lol. Great scores on the songs! For ME I would give "Eyes Wide Open" a 9.5 with "Vultures" and "We Are Shadows" :) Great overall album score! I LOVE this album!!! Since I like many different genres of metal and rock in general, the song "One Foot In The Grave" I enjoy! I like the Halestorm'ish rock radio friendly vibe and anthemic chorus which I find I can't get out of my head hahaha.

Awesome review! I love how you show yourself listening to it and do a track by track review. Sometimes I swear people don’t actually listen to the cd so this really helped. While I agree with most of what you said and had the same reaction to it, the chorus in “One Foot in the Grave” gets stuck in your head and is addicting as crack haha. Wasn’t a fan at first of the pop rock sound, but it grows on you. Also Mercedes does most of the low growls that you hear, such as in “Grime” and “Eyes Wide Open”.

Will Wood is, in my opinion, an artist that you need to nurture. He has said before that he has never learnt music in any form, everything is by ear (he can't read sheet music either) so he doesn't know the concept of chords and how they can make a song more 'likable' in the sense. When I first listened to Will Wood, it was really uncomfortable for me. Like I was sitting in a weird chair in a weird position but slowly you can ease into it, trust me. If you listen to music for relaxation and for enjoyment, Will Wood isn't for you. You really need to so-called 'gnaw' on his music to understand its full depth, and to really ease into the vibe. But through his albums, you can really see his growth (both musically and in his own person). If you want to listen to something less chaotic, and more of a reflection on his growth from being confused and in turmoil to someone who finally has control over his own life and psyche, you should really listen to In Case I Make It! :)

It’s awesome to see people reviewing this album! It’s my all time fave and I just got it on vinyl.

I wish Mark Lanegan was still around.

Great song my favorite Ried song is ‘to be treated rite’ and the live version of Without Expression from Bob Harris’s singer/songwriter special from 1973

Best wishes to Savannah, glad you're going ahead Kris

I saw your comment in the video with the Zoo Station video of Nine Inch Nails, and really, i'm glad of finding you out. You got another subscriber. In the replies you'll get my analysis of the song.

Stumbled across this. Fascinating to learn more about the song and your heartfelt attachment. Glad to hear you are in a better place 🎸👍

Sdre has a lot of directions and are always heavy on the atmosphere and bridge riffs minimum.. In Circles, The Days Were Golden, Pillars, 47, Every Shining Time You Arrive, Theo B, The Ocean..all vary in sound and emotion, off several different albums.

Hi, do you love the Aja album from Steely Dan?

Thank you so much for the review! Six years IS a long time, but the new album The Color Drains Out is finished and will be out very soon, with one more single called How Long Can This Go On coming out this Friday, May 10th. Plug over. But thank you, this was great.

Well said!❤

Chill with the adderal

From my knowledge, the community is very open to discussion (putting aside their tendency to be creepy towards will but that’s another can of worms). Also, a lot of the problems you saw may be improved if you listen to the 2020 Remaster; the lyrics are more audible, the pause before -Ish is shorter, songs sound more distinct, at least to me.

I'm a little freaked out right now. I can't tell you how many times I've done exactly the same thing with that chorus; the only exception being that I'd run it back to that opening bass line instead of just returning to the beginning of the chorus. I mean seriously, it never occurred to me that there was someone else on this planet that was spun out on that one part of the song so as to play it over and over, other than myself. I can't even give you a good reason why it makes me feel that way. Just that it is perfection to my ears in every way.

I've been listening to Myles Goodwyn and April Wine since 1972. 16 studio albums, with many Live recordings and 4 solo albums to boot. Siver Dollar is superb. Very fitting now that Myles Goodwyn has passed away 1948-2023. I listen to Myle's Goodwyn's music most every day of my life. Just a fan......

I took it that the see you in hell line was becuase he killed him self. And the luaghing at him from the girl made her also equally bad so they would end up finnaly together in hell.

I think the 19 minute Joan in the Garden is worth a revisit - of the two they've teased for the new album, Joan is the better one (albeit, much meatier). Decemberists love to play around with different musical styles, but long epics are their bread and butter so it's a totally different experience

Why are you reviewing bands you don't like? It's not your thing.

Thank you for a hip ,honest review..Too many..have low standards

Frizzle Fry is an even better Primus album imo, you guys should give that one a listen!

With SDRE just take the journey and start on the debut Diary. Classic album from the genre. They do a follow up called 'the Pink Album' or LP2. The band then breaks up. The lead singer then does an interesting solo album called 'Return of the Frog Queen' which is a departure from SDRE but an amazing detour. Years later they reunite minus their bass player to record a reinvented album 'How it feels to be something on' which veers into prog rock and more mature sound. Then 'the Rising Tide' takes another interesting turn. All in all if you like how the journey starts then just follow it and soak it in. Following another breakup enigk does a number of very good solo albums

Rob Zombie helped bring Terry back into the spotlight where he deserves! A true talent.🎸

Huh, the Paramore cover is decent! It was fun hearing Hayley doing some p fun and new things i've not heard her do before with her voice! Lots of rockstar growling and experimental stuff compared to her usual stuff which is typically p straightlaced tbh.

Anything with Nothing But Thieves in the title gets an instant view from me - best band around currently and Conor’s vocals are incredible. They don’t like to stick to one genre, so some of their stuff is alt-rock, some Indie, there’s some stunning ballads that really make the most of Conor’s range, and their latest album is a little bit disco. They’re fantastic live too - I saw their first performance of this latest single last week and it was much better than the studio version, heavier and less poppy. If you get the chance to see them live don’t miss it! Oh and the place in Essex that you forgot to write down is Southend-on-Sea 🙂

Gawd this album is not good, it’s so overrated, idk why people love it so much, it was not an easy listen at all, and there’s no way in hell I’m ever going back to it! Great podcast, you two! 🩷

I love the whole album! Not so much Kamakiriad.

The song "Heaven Coming Down" was an original composition.

Yep this song is sic

The original is a classic, but the revised live versions they play are much better, like the over the years through the woods version I think its the way it was meant to sound. Your right that the album's recording was kind of rough and I think it hurts this version. Plus years later and you have Troy on guitar as well so you get that trippy double guitar stuff happening plus the lap steel during the instrumental section of the song, one of the greatest songs ever, the live version anyway. Even if someone doesnt know queens of the stone age and never heard the song and you play it, they know they just heard something epic.

Khruangbin in A tier and Bob Dylan in D tier.. music opinions couldn't be further from mine 😂

It's frustratingly close to being a masterpiece. However....that upbeat middle section does it no favours!

i always debated within myself if this or 'to be treated rite' is Terry's best

Yeah brother, I only got onto the older Qotsa albums way later in my fandom. The re-release of their debut absolutely rocks my world.

As a guitarist, this is one of the most satisfying QOTSA songs to play.....The transition into the chorus just feels so *right* under your fingers after the build-up of tension

whose gonna tell them it’s pronounced second sight seer

2012 was the first song I heard from Will and it's still one of my fav, I used to love this album but now I hate it because of Cotard's Solution and Dr Sunshine Is Dead, too much screaming, and to be honest I just prefer his live version of most of the songs of this album. Listening to the live versions on Spotify or on obscure places of internet I started to realise these songs are simply brilliant played live but now I just hate the album version (except for 2012 and Hand Me My Shovel, still my fav) I would not recommend In Case I Make It, too much of the same thing through the whole album (it's good tho but you guys don't seem to enjoy repetition which is understandable) but I will recommend is first album, "Everything Is A Lot" because this one has way more diversity, wether it is for the instrumentals or for the lyrics :) Finally I would recommend to listen to some of his songs from his last live album "In Cas I Die", in this one there's The Song With 5 Names and it happens to be one of the most calm songs he has on both of his Spotify profiles! He manages to give an infinity of different vibes to one song depending on the instruments and how he feels when playing it

i'm so happy that people are listening to will wood (i've watched nearly every will wood reaction/analysis video on youtube i need professional help)

Also as far as my experience is, will wood fandom isn't gatekeepy in the slightest and loves the discussions about the music :)

Love to see your thoughts on, "In Case I Make It" because its kinda the polar opposite to this album with will on uke & baritone uke for the most part, stripped backed accompanyment, and is a lot slower paced.

Alright so gonna be slowly adding info in replies to this message, so first information I have is the reason for his hiatus. People thought since his 2 most recent albums had been more calm instead of lots of sounds all over they thought it was his “I got better” albums but he has said himself that they were his “it got worse albums” and he began his hiatus to help with his mental health (especially with the death of 2 of his pet rats then another (which was the basically the main one everyone knew) passed 3 days after his break began)
