the new m*****n single
'Are we the Baddies?'...
"Someday! Someday, everything you need, is just gonna fall out of the sky..." -A.E. Reading 1991
"Don't forget that most of the judges in witches trials had harvard degrees."

I like The Mish (especially the first two albums) although I haven't actually bought any of their records since Carved In Sand (I think). The new album has had a few good reviews and the general consensus is that it has an old style m*****n/Sisters type sound to it (at least more so than anything in the past 20 odd years), which interests me.
That said, I hope the rest of it is better than this single. It's a bit dull, to be honest.

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
Yep, I'd go with that. I'm not going to enjoy the album now without trying to find the songs each track was *inspired* by.mh wrote:LA Rain!Pat wrote:Emma - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1nl0DFM_WQ

Possibly the point of the video with all those people suffering such unimaginable awfulness. It puts having to listen to the song in to perspective.

The music whilst quite good but more a pastiche of other works, the words are just a string of cliches, for some reason his lyrics wind me up something rotten. It is not that I have anything against the occasional use of cliches but the way he strings them together makes me feel that he thinks he is cleverer than he is. The Dunning Krugger is strong in this one. I have nothing against 'dumb' lyrics some great pop songs had simple lyrics.

I really liked the Rose Of Avalanche, they had a great guitar sound I thought, I have a load of their stuff somewhere in a box.mh wrote:LA Rain!Pat wrote:Emma - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1nl0DFM_WQ

Re: The m*****n album, I'm listening to it on Soundcloud now. In recent years I've listened to a lot of their older stuff and realised that musically I really still like them but I find Waynes' lyrics/vocals more than a bit painful a lot of the time.
Interesting that they are doing a package with an instrumental version of the new album as well as the standard one. Perhaps they've got the hint that a lot of people also feel that way.
All that said, musically I like it and think it's probably the best thing they've done since Children, albeit largely because it harks back to so many of their earlier tracks and tracks that Wayne played on with the Sisters. The title track in particular being absolutely blatantly the Sisters version of 'Emma'.

And after all, so what? If you like it, it doesn´t matter if it´s "inspired" by Von or ROA or Motörhead or The Carpenters. Listen to it. If you don´t like it, ignore it. For myself, i can say, Met-Amor-Phosis is good, and I find Tyranny of Secrets even better. Overall, a real improvement compared to the stuff on "God is a Bullet" and "The Brightest Light".

You see, Wayne has shown many times in the past that he is quite capable of writing a good tune; he's even quite capable of writing the occasional great tune. Instead we see him recycling past works. He doesn't need to do that, he's better than that, and it's a shame to see him not use his talent.

If you're going to criticise Wayne for recycling then you'd better add in Jimmy Page, Keith Richards, and many other musicians who found inspiration in songs already written.

I've often wondered how Slink and more importantly Craig feel about him constantly digging up the past in interviews etc. I guess he can only answer questions that are put before him, so maybe the interviewers should be a bit more original, too?
If you've slaved your bollocks off making an album, the last thing you want is your leader talking about an album/period over thirty years ago and before The Mish were even formed?

Four strings good, six strings bad
You can hear his solo on Met-Amor-Phosis and damn fine it is as wellBrad wrote:A larger question is does Slink even play on this record? From the interviews given, it seems this was solely a Wayne project a la that Resurrection album.

Yeah my apologies, I was being rather flippant. It just seemed weird in that original interview from Wayne, he talked of how he was disconnected from his band mates in making this record, and how everything was "me, me, me".
Just wonder how much input there was as a band.
