imkylejackson Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I want to love this album.. I really think the opening and closing of the album are great, but the middle just kinda drags on. It doesn't really do anything for me, and I really enjoyed American Slang. sinngh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Not sure how many people watch SportsCenter, but they've been using Desire in a few clips over the last day or two. Found that pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, that's exactly how I feel about it - 45, Handwritten, Biloxi, Mae & National are terrific songs, the remainder pretty forgettable.

imkylejackson Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Don't get me wrong, I like the album as a whole. It's still miles ahead of most other music being put out. EDIT: WOW, that guy is pissed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylec123 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 People who were a fan of their other records and not liking this record kinda blows my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcm1610 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 That guy ranting is kind of how I feel about the band overall, but I don't care enough to write huge rantings. The stuff generally sounds good, but when you really want to dive in and connect with it all, you realize it's not deep, it's just a patchwork of catchy things. I don't DISlike the band, and I do have a copy of all their albums, but they're nothing I go out of my way for. kyacrash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I really dig this album, but the dude's right about a lot of stuff. That guy ranting is kind of how I feel about the band overall, but I don't care enough to write huge rantings.

mot Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I pretty much agree with the dude! I own it all up to American Slang, and quit. I don't think I even made it through that album fully. But then again, my taste changes as often as I change my underwear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorimeyer Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 they bonus 7" sold on ebay 2x for 149$ wtf... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idreamofpunk Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 No more WTF-inducing than the fact that I still wouldn't sell it on account of that breaking up my complete collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 they bonus 7" sold on ebay 2x for 149$ wtf... Personally, I'm not all that surprised. Maybe a bit higher than I'd have expected, but I had no doubt it would go for a lot. I hated spending $37 to get this from Germany, but when I realized that $37 is the cheapest I'd ever be able to get it for, didn't really seem that bad. No way somebody is going to pay that kind of money for it and then turn around sell it for less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannonball Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Those LPs + 7" probably didn't go for $149 a piece. Someone made an offer for both and he accepted. I offered $75 for one ..he countered at $90. But someone snagged both before I saw the counter offer. Can't see paying more than $50 for just the 7" alone....there is 750 of them. Alot of other records have less pressed than this (with better songs too) and go for way less. But I guess there's multiple variants for those records too..so gotta factor that in.

thebiglebowski Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I would love it if the next album did not have the word "radio" anywhere in it. Not saying the whole schtick has to change (Gaslight is still by far my favorite band), but that word is definitely overused and getting old.

Here's where he lost me: "Then we have Keepsake, which might be about murdering a woman and dumping her body in the river, but it’s like he wrote that song then fudged it because he wanted to be all nasty and honest like Johnny Cash or Nick Cave but didn’t want his mummy to think he’s not a nice boy. It’s like Nick Cave if you took away all the gothic menace and minatory artistry. Did they have harmonica on any of their older songs? If not that’s another PROPER HEARTLAND ROCK BAND checklist tick." If he's too dense to realize that this song is about Brian's dad, his liberal use of a thesaurus is not enough to make me take him very seriously. astrangerwithcandy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 What I hate about eBay discussion like this is the temptation. Logic dictates that I should just sell my Euro Version +7" for $100 and then go to Hot Topic and pay $15 for a regular pressing. I could then hit IVWT with the remaining $85 and have 6-8 other records I want. It becomes hard to justify holding something like this when you have more interest in hearing a diversity. The solution is that people quit paying insane prices for things like this and I'll have peace in my mind. rudeboydh and astrangerwithcandy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The auction page states that they sold for $150. So... yeah. How much was the LP + 7" with shipping to the US from Green Hell/ Flight 13 anyways? I bought one individually, and it was 30 euro, which I think is/was roughly $37. What I hate about eBay discussion like this is the temptation.

For what it's worth, it sounds like the "Euro Version +7"" is actually a "regular pressing + 7"". I think a couple pages back it was determined to be the US press of the album with a 7" slipped in the shrink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseypride Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Wonder if this is just the US pressing or a separate Aussie pressing. I'm not reading much into the fact that the mock-up is black. http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/music/pop-rock/handwritten-vinyl/670969 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
