  • Does anyone else think, as I do, that the use of guitar harmonics at the beginning of each verse in Bermuda Highway a poor decision?

I completely agree with you on this, I was listening to it last weekend, and something was kinda irritating me about that song, while at the same time I love hearing it. The guitar harmonics just seem like a slight distraction...

I've been listening to AD a lot recently.  Listened to this on the way home from the T5 reunion last night.  Blissful.

the guitar harmonics in BH never bothered me.  actually, i found it to be pretty cool that an "imperfect" cut made it onto the album.  and IISD has always been one of my absolute favorite album tracks.  there's something about the simplicity of the song & how it was recorded - just stripped down like that, i dunno - it always gave me goosebumps.

that was one of the songs i was most looking forward to hearing @ T5.  i have my video of that up on youtube also, which i revisit frequently.  the crowd was remarkably quiet & jim sang/played it so beautifully... sigh.

AD is still my favorite mmj album & i'd be happily surprised if any future albums de-throne it.  maybe it's because it's the album i fell in love to mmj with & therefore will hold that extra-special place in my heart for always.  maybe it's because it's a heavy "jim" album & he's super dreamy.  maybe it's beacuse it captured & preserved those slight imperfections which, to me, makes the album so honest & real.  i suppose it's all of those things & then some others that i can't really put into words.  i love AD, just as it is.

It's definitely Jims dreamy-ness.
don't rock bottom, just listen just slow down...

Man, I'm reaching for this album a lot lately. Could it start to push ISM for the title of favorite? It's getting close but still has a little bit of work to do. Releasing the T5 show would greatly help it's cause...

putting this record on the TT and hearing the slow steady stream of the drums building up into AD is perfect musical foreplay.  As good an intro and startup as is out there.

The thought of when we saw this live at T5 still brings me goosebumps.....
was some shakin' and some record playin'

It's already the 5th here in the future so I'm already celebrating!

Happy Birthday At Dawn!

I'm very much looking forward to the birth of At Dawn's brother - At Dawn: live from T5. I hope he is already in the womb...

I love the idea from TGMC421!  Let's be sure to give At Dawn a spin today in honor of 10 years of aural extacy!

At Dawn -- We ride again!

Ralph, I'm pretty sure that little brother is well out of the womb (remember the TWTHS baby picture?), and is now being tended to in the nursery until he's ready for the big wide world.

Let's hope it's not too long before his parents want to share him with the rest of the world...

Was just about to get off the couch to go to bed and the cd changer just flicked across to At Dawn and now I want to stay up and listen to the whole thing. Damn MMJ and their long records! Jims voice is really striking a chord in my sleepy state... Hopefully this inspires T5 related memory dreams...

not sure if this has been discussed before, but I was belatedly wondering: are the crickets that you can hear in the sonic backdrop throughout the album for real or just layered over post-recording?

I sure do hope they were chirping for real...

thank jebus chrast for this album, what a lifesaver it can be.

I thought I heard a couple grasshoppers...thx for the help, I'll have to check out this place called Kentucky sometime. Their crickets seem louder than mine.

I'm mainly glad the band didn't include any cicada in the recording process. That may have totally cramped the mood.
