Delta Spirit

[YouAre_GivenToFly]

....hopefully it won't be TOO over produced..

It is  :-\

[Ruckus]

This album can go lick a chode and the lyrics to California can go suck on El chode's chode.  I would say that KOL'ing it is pretty on point though it is what I was expecting.  Done and done.  I'll go see them on this tour and then...

;D I was waiting for you to chime in. Pretty much the response I expected.

I had a bad feeling when a DJ on the XM Spectrum describe the sound the band (based on new album and single) as a cross between Coldplay and the Go Gos.

This is totally bumming me out.   I'm going to listen with an open mind but I'm not getting a good vibe.    How can they go from making the best album of 2010 (?) to being awful.

However, I don't care how bad this album is, you have to do A LOT worse than make one bad album to go KOLing.

Yeah, like doing Kids Bop, worrying more about starting a clothing line than your music, getting shit on by 1 righteous pigeon, trying to pick a fight with Paul Weller, thinking of yourself as a brand instead of a rock band, forgetting all of your true fans who sweated to death in little shithole smoked out clubs in Sauget, IL to become pompous dicks who now only cater to the cougars and their 14 year old daughters, etc etc etc. Yeah 1 bad album is bumming but not KOL worthy

That's the thing.  I'm sure a number of the songs will translate well live but so much of the lyrics are so dumbed down and it is pure crap pop now.  I mean, this album really sucks in my book.  But hey, that's just me.  I'm done.  I had to pop it out before I finished the last song.  The only reason I didn't chuck the CD out my car is because I care about the environment and the cleanliness of baltimore streets.  Besides, a burned Delta Spirit CD might have looked mighty suspicious amongst the broken glass and lake trout containers

I didn't make it through the entire album either. Got to track n9 or 10 and put some Dawes on.

You walkin' down dem alleys in da projects man you steppin' on dead soldjas. You can't walk down da Baltimore streets without dat shit cracklin' underneath yo feet.

Hook me up

[wolof7]

made it through 5 tracks, really wasn't feeling it...will need to give it some more spins but this is disappointing.

[soto pop]

Who is this new band and what the hell did they do with Delta Spirit?

[e_wind]

That song with the speedy Gonzales yelp or whatever HAS TO BE A JOKE

[br00ke]

i heaven't given it a less but am super disappointed to hear it sucks a fart  :-\

[ironmike]

I thought that song was a joke also....what a bummer....they need bo back in the saddle

[Ruckus]

i heaven't given it a less but am super disappointed to hear it sucks a fart  :-\

I wuna. Bourbon a fart with you

[Penny Lane]

as much as I wanted to be able to disagree, not into this album at all..what happened? 

[mjk73]

This is really making me want to skip their show and hit War On Drugs with Sharron Van Etten instead a week after. I'm only 10% sure I want to see DS now. That's how much I dislike the new album.

[Ruckus]

Eh, don't cut yourselves yet guys  ;D

Check out Empty House.

Delta Spirit - Empty House recorded live at Lollapalooza, August 5th, 2011

[br00ke]

i heaven't given it a less but am super disappointed to hear it sucks a fart  :-\

I wuna. Bourbon a fart with you

;D ;D

today is the band's BK pub crawl. i still haven't listened to anything off this album (and this thread certainly doesn't have me rushing to do so) but i might hit up one of the stops.
