the lead players in "that band" were at midlake last night.
after the place cleared out, they started playing tracks from the new album.
i only heard two before m'lady decided it was time to leave.
one was new to me and the other i have heard live a few times.
the one i've heard before features lyrics about flying.
i must admit, imo, it wasn't bad. kind of like his earlier band (a little) if you took out all of the rock.
that band whose name i won't mention

Re: that band whose name i won't mention
yeah. it's not ear-shatteringly awful. but it doesn't sound like anything approaching "good".so, without all the parts that make it good?if you took out all of the rock.
also, they appear to be playing mere blocks away from my house a few saturdays from now, so i expect to see my fellow dentonians in the parking lot behind lou's on 3/24.

Are you on the list?
I may be using the intro to We Sound Amazed for a school project. I still love that song.

Re: that band whose name i won't mention
What a coincidence, I am currently listening to a song called Flying by a sorely missed band that started and ended with a U and had FOF in the middle!the lead players in "that band" were at midlake last night.
after the place cleared out, they started playing tracks from the new album.
i only heard two before m'lady decided it was time to leave.
one was new to me and the other i have heard live a few times.
the one i've heard before features lyrics about flying.

but i guess that's what you get for hanging around the dais, hanging with midlake!

Having heard most of the record, I can say it sounds nothing like that.so it sounds like this?
What it does sound like is an off-off-off broadway caberet. Just wait until you hear the "Fragile Army" track. I'm still trying to figure out where/how the title figures in.

It's not a matter of hating it (I do dislike it, but, then again, I dislike most of their stuff now because it makes me think about the lie we all were busting our asses to perpetuate). I'm just very very confused by it.so tell meHaving heard most of the record, I can say it sounds nothing like that.so it sounds like this?
