timsimmons Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 I think anything that followed up the 05 albums was gonna get backlash. Those were difficult albums to top. ET had a bunch of little things people thought was wrong with it (Two being too straight forward plus Sheryl Crow, remaking 2 classic tracks and making them sound worse than their Suicide Handbook version, lackluster recordings vs their live counterpart), on top of all that he had just gotten sober, which was after a couple years of audience clashing, and playing either ramshackle or spectacular shows. So his persona was a bit dicey and his fan base was wary. It was a burnout period for everyone TBH.Ultimately I think ET has aged really well. I do think the production on it is pretty bad, but the songs are really great.Cardinalology was really well produced but outside of 2-3 tracks, the songs aren't there. It's a pretty forgettable record IMO. agaetisbyrjun, tvham and jerseypride 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runforcover Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 ET is ok, I hated it at first but in retrospect its ok, there are some songs I love. Cardinology, is an objectively bad RA record in my opinion, along with RnR. Maybe 2 songs are worthwhile on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobMckinley Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 It's kind of trying to get psyched about a lost Weezer record that was recorded in-between Raditude and Hurley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a little late to the game when it game to Ryan (started really listening and buying his stuff 5 or so years ago) and straight away I really enjoyed Easy Tiger. When I tell my OG Ryan fan friends that it's one of my favs of his I get all kinds of eye rolls but fuck it, I enjoy it so who cares?

warhenrecords Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Also a fan of ET & Cardinology. There are some bad tracks on both, but I think the good outweighs the band. 65/35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdwell Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Stoked to see via Instagram he's building another studio in NYC....I think his PaxAM studio is sonically stellar, I would hope a second go at another studio would harbor at least the same if not better results sonically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_chuck Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Did anyone in the UK ever get a copy of the Barnes and Noble 1989 sent out to them? My order's been processing since I placed it in October, and their customer service is truly abysmal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
