So I've listened to the album (mentally) and here are my thoughts: There's not enough reverb. The band has sold out. The songs are all boring. I rank this slightly above EU and very below Z. This is just made for college kids to smoke bongs to. It's really just an album for my mom to listen to at Kohls. They're just not into it anymore. If I were in the band, I could have and would have done it differently, and therefore better. There's not enough guitar on track 5. I don't under stand the songs. And why is every song about Obama? It makes me fall asleep during the middle 4 tracks because they're too slow. Where is this album's Off the Record?

I think I'll just stick to my Terminal 5 Vinyl Picture Disc Box set and remember the band that I used to love.

I think I'm going to leave the boards for a bit.

I disagree with all of this (sorry)

Plus, you didn't even mention Bo's 23 minute keyboard solo on the song Fetcher's Lament

You just disagree because you're a n00b. I've been a fan since before Kentucky was a state, so I'm obviously way more correct.

I just googled Fetcher's Lament and sure as hell on page 4, there's a mention of Bo's monsterous keyboard solo! :o

Well... I'll just say that you ain't heard nothing yet until you've heard the Swedish edition of the album... With an extra track dedicated to the king of all Muppets: The Swedish chef! So sweet!  8)

um...first off "El Chode", if that's even your real name.  The album isn't even out yet, which leads me believe that your review was not only apocryphal & fictitious but also extremely ambiguous.   

secondly, Tracy - you stated Bo had a 23 Min SOLO?!?!?! - I am hesitant to accept your claim seeing as how Jim & The Gang have stated that the album is around 50 min long - thus making the rest of the 11 songs an avg. of 3min a piece.  Just doesn't add up. 

Thirdly Ms. Sara Banana Bear - I've looked everywhere on the web and have found NOTHING of your said "Sweedish" album.  If you send me over your memorandums, I would love to consider their authenticity.

COME ONE PEOPLE - let's get our facts straight and start to take this forum a little more SERIOUSLY.  A little less fun, and a little more earnestness please.
God damn those shaky knees.

Nikkogino

And I can't believe you would even bother to listen to it before it was officially released by the band?  You are an awful person and should probably be tortured.  Talking about an album before it is released is so mean and spiteful.  Go to timeout.

You think your so smart using SAT words, but you spelled President wrong in your name. If you were a real fan, your critisism and garmmer would of been more better.

Well you see there's a perfectly good explanation! Since we Swedes dislike music piracy above all things, in an effort to try and stop it we've decided not to sell or distribute any music online. The Swedish government has even started a campaign to enforce this called "digital be gone" and hence the album is only available in physical form, in Sweden. I have a copy right here in my hand, but I cannot take a digital photograph of it, since regretfully digital photographs of music is also forbidden... However I could mail you a physical so called non-digital copy if you'd like?  :thumbsup:

This thread smells bad...or is that me? or maybe you? ;)

el_chode

I think this thread stinks because the album clearly does. It's been exactly one year since I first heard it in my head, and it has only gotten worse now that I've revisited it.
