stl_ben Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Grumpy old man review: Dodge and Burn is an ok collection of random songs that were probably outtakes from previous sessions. Some ok music with poor lyrics over it. Jack White has been quoted as saying Three Dollar Hat almost didn't make the record...which would have been an improvement. Almost every track would make an ok b-side to a single, but they do not amount to the quality of previous LPs. If the band was on a major label I would just assume this was them squeezing in the contract mandated record of the year...but as they are not I am not sure what the excuse is for the low quality on this. I hope this is just me and you guys like it, but for myself I will just keep spinning Sea of Cowards and Horehound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still excited about it regardless as the wait has been far too long for a new album of theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clerk3745 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Well I'm a D and got my shipping notification this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Well fuck. Sell it and move on It's tempting...but that dumb "collector's mentality" in me can't break up my vault collection. Still have every vault release and though this isn't my favorite DW album, Ill still spin it more than Karen Elson live or the Willy Nelson LP.

dreamover Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 I love Dodge and Burn. I've been spinning it constantly this week. Cannot wait to get this. My vault shipment hasn't shipped yet, but I ordered the regular LP and that shipped today. Hopefully it comes friday or saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allenh Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 There's literally not a bad song on Dodge & Burn. I'll find out who's taste I agree with when mine arrives, it's currently over the Atlantic I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawney Bomb Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Makes sense. If you ever feel like breaking up the family, hit me up because I'll gladly take that Karen Elson Live album off your hands. If you want that Karen Elson live album, I think I still have one I want to get rid of. The outside has a crease in it I think because they were still shipping poorly back then, but if you're serious, PM me we'll work something out.

wiscodeman Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Got the Vault #25 package in the mail today and gave it a spin. I like the majority of the album, some of the songs are really great, but I could also easily do without Three Dollar Hat and Impossible Winner.. Both the LP and the 7" are more like an opaque orange marble, which is slightly disappointing because I was under the impression they'd be more of a clear yellow with black wisps like the previous released 7"s. There is also a little surprise when you open the gatefold, but it's lame and gimmicky of course (which is typical of TMR releases in some people's minds). But overall, I'm extremely happy for new Dead Weather material and hoping for a tour at some point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Kinda hope they just go back into the studio and crank out another album for next summer. Then they could tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

negavinyl Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Got my Vault copy in yesterday, spun it this afternoon, big chip out of the edge of the record, the A side is so warped it skips throughout making the A side unlistenable. B side plays but is also warped. Bummer. I'll e-mail Third Man I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clerk3745 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 So vault package showed up today, download code says it isn't in their records and no poster. Maybe thats just putting me in a salty mood but I'm only on the 3rd track and I'm not really feeling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
