Queens of the Stone Age-Era Vulgaris....'Cause that's solid like Kanye West

(6:55:36 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: back like Lil Jon & the Eastside Boyz
(6:56:15 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Not even close, Kings of Crunk is an album that will forever go untouched, even by the likes of BDJ.
(6:56:24 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: lmfao
(6:56:26 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: Kings of Crunk
(6:56:31 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: BDJ is the shit
(6:56:37 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: Big Daddy J
(6:56:40 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: hood fresh
(6:57:15 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: It isn't called Kings of Crunk for nothing, that album was a hit fest, something that most modern black entertainers can't even come close to.
(6:57:45 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: are we discussing Kings of Crunk then?
(6:57:46 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: lmfao
(6:57:47 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Ne-Yo has closer, T-Pain has Chopped and Screwed, Akon has Right Na Na Na, Lil' Jon has the entire Kings of Crunk album.
(6:58:05 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: No words within my vocabulary can truly describe the incredibility of that album.
(6:58:21 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: However, Ive already got an idea how to describe todays topic.
(6:58:26 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: New Queens of the Stone Age.
(6:58:29 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: That's where it's at.
(6:58:34 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: perfect
(6:58:38 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: lemme git it playing
(6:58:49 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Beware: Once you start, you won't stop.
(6:59:02 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Unlike our last topic, this album does a lot more grooving, than jamming.
(6:59:13 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: well the beginning track is pretty much mezmerizing
(6:59:55 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Good introduction, it really prepares you for the musical acid trip you're about to be taken on, distorted guitars, good beats, and trippy synths.
(7:00:18 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: its a really magical album if you ask me..
(7:00:50 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: the distorted guitars and synths on Sick Sick Sick.. the lead single.. are intricately structured.. in simple terms.. flow really well
(7:01:39 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Sick Sick Sick just makes me wanna' bob my head, and yet it's trippy enough to make me do so without beat or pattern.
(7:02:13 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: thats what smooth about the album.. it doesnt matter about patterns and that stuff.. there isn't really mcuh of that.. but it still sounds great
(7:02:51 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: It's experimental, for sure. For some reason, listening to this album brings Faith No More to mind, Mike Patton era of course, as if any other Faith No More vocalist mattered. Pft.
(7:03:38 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: ahaha im not extremely familiar with Faith No More except for a song or two
(7:03:45 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: but what this album reminds me off
(7:04:03 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: is some recent Nine Inch Nails music.. except more experimental less harminous
(7:04:37 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: WHICH might be a good connection since Mr. Trent Reznor produced a song Era Vulgaris.. which didnt make the cut of the album but you can find as a B-side
(7:05:08 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I just might have it, since, ya' know, I was baller enough to go out of my way to find the album with all the extra -ish on it.
(7:05:22 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: i did as well lmao
(7:05:40 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: but that fact was in my prior knowledge from when this album dropped back in 07
(7:06:55 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: It's that old and i was never informed? Geesh, goes to show how far out of the loop I am. PS, this vocalist has a lot on Trent Reznor, like a set of pipes for instance. While your butt buddy Trent sounds like a howling smoker, this guys got groove.
(7:07:28 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I give this band props, there's times where they remind me of some old school rock stuff, and surprisingly enough, I don't hate it.
(7:07:35 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: guys a bit younger than Trent too.. not that that matters.. trent has accomplished more than the vocalist of QOTSA
(7:07:42 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Despite me being known as the classic rock nazi at al the local old man burn out joints.
(7:08:32 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: And yet Trent REznor still has no vocal talent, hm.
(7:08:46 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: neither does Doctor Zartan Prime.. but we're gitting off topic
(7:08:51 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: back to the album
(7:08:56 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: just started Misfit Love
(7:09:22 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: and lemme tell you the intro is pure greatness.. and then the vocals kick in.. maybe semi-falsetto.. not too much.. still soudns tremendous
(7:10:32 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: That's for sure, the album overall grooves, and all these songs have something to present, it's not all generic, cookie cutter, rock music, this is an-around strong album.
(7:10:44 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: 3's and 7's.
(7:11:25 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: The guitar groove is like, 3 chords away from that one hit song by that one really shitty grunge band with the lead singer who got shot in the face by his whore wife.
(7:11:31 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Not that I know what chords are.
(7:11:44 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: But in the beginning here, I almost thought I was listening to a cover song.
(7:11:50 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Almost.
(7:11:59 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: youre right it does sound like a taste of Nirvana..
(7:12:18 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: but i enjoy the track
(7:12:26 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: its probably top 5 from the album
(7:12:49 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: It's one of my favorites, it recovers nicely from the Nirvana intro, and goes into some real 7th hour style rocking out.
(7:13:11 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: i tell you 7thhour rock style is solid man.. solid like kanye west
(7:13:27 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: but maybe only regina bitches can understand that joke?
(7:13:28 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: lmao
(7:13:32 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: anyways
(7:13:38 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: It's the ooooooonly thing they understand.
(7:13:43 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: how about Run Pig Run
(7:13:47 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Good song.
(7:14:21 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: not the best not the worst though.. its in the middle.. intro is lack luster.. but it gits to some jamming.. kidna sounds disorganized more so than the rest of the album
(7:15:03 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: It's more pothead oriented, that's for sure, the smooth singing mixed with the completely off-the-wall guitar.
(7:15:12 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: The guitar somewhere at 1:40.
(7:15:15 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Comes out of nowhere.
(7:15:26 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: i agree i got to that part and was slightly confused
(7:16:10 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: This album, I wouldn't know song from song if I wasn't paying attention, the transitions within the song catch you so off gaurd, you never know when the songs are actually over.
(7:16:36 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: its true.. if youre just letting the album play.. you might think two songs are combined
(7:16:44 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: but i decided to flip back to Make It Wit Chu
(7:17:06 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: kinda worried i was gonna turn on a Ne-Yo RnB song or some shit... thought some asshole messed up my torrent
(7:17:16 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: but no.. its QOTSA
(7:17:21 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I think it is?
(7:17:24 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: The song comes out of nowhere.
(7:17:25 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: slower song on the album
(7:17:32 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: its completely different
(7:17:39 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: The background vocals.
(7:17:42 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I wanna make it.
(7:17:43 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: That part.
(7:17:45 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: melodic to say the least.. most like an actual rock ballad
(7:18:05 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: yeah the high voice in the back.. adds flare.. maybe unnecessary? maybe not.. depends on your taste i guess
(7:18:20 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: the solo is like a Candlebox solo or sometihng.. idk
(7:18:23 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: It's definitely throw back to those sooooooouljahs back in the day.
(7:18:50 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I don't know about that, I just know that if it were at all possible to find a woman that would make love to me with this song playing in the background, I would not hesitate to break the edge.
(7:19:45 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: ahahaha if any girl i know would nejoy this album id be shocked.. theyre a bunch of mainstream groupies
(7:19:47 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: oh well
(7:20:20 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: That's why I added in the "if at all possible." That massive if was the key word.
(7:20:42 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: right right
(7:20:51 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: now ending with Running Joke
(7:20:58 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: its like a piano in the beginning..
(7:21:09 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: idk im disappointed with that to be honest
(7:21:39 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: i dont wanna hear QOTSA playing a piano.. it eventually slightly picks up not until aroudn the last minute of the song.. then it dies again
(7:21:43 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: idk shitty way to end the album id say
(7:22:24 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Are we even talking about the same album here? I don't even have such a song! I was jipped!
(7:22:30 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: ahahahha
(7:22:33 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: you know what
(7:22:38 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: thats another Bside i believe
(7:22:41 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: shit my fault
(7:22:52 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: well if youre an overachiever.. dont bother finding that song
(7:23:33 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I wasn't planning on it, I'm a couple minutes away from downloading all these live songs, they're taking up space on my computer that could be better used to download that new Spears album (which will be featured in a future blog, for sure)
(7:23:58 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: WHOA
(7:24:06 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: i almost refuse to listen to a britney spears album
(7:24:52 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: C'mon now brotha', we can't let the Tabloids have all the fun! Making a mockery of the broad and all the sl00ts that liegitimately enjoy her music will bring purpose to my life!
(7:25:09 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: By the way, The Fun Machine Took a Shit and Died.
(7:25:12 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: we'll see we'll see
(7:25:15 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Is not only an awesomely titled song.
(7:25:17 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: by the way.. thats a b-side
(7:25:18 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: But a great track.
(7:25:37 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: just finished Into The Hollow..
(7:25:41 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: its not a B-side i promise
(7:25:50 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: This I know, for I just switched to it.
(7:25:55 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: i just finished it
(7:26:12 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: And this was probably the track I was talking about when I was referring to when i said some of these songs remind me of classic rock jams.
(7:26:22 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: exactly
(7:26:26 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: That sentence was a catastrophie.
(7:26:28 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: its like Running Joke.. just a little louder
(7:26:29 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: But you get the point.
(7:26:45 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: You said something about a top 5 on this album.
(7:26:49 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: And I wouldn't even know where to start.
(7:26:51 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I have no complaints.
(7:26:57 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: really?
(7:27:11 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: idk i could make a top 5 for you right now.. its not hard for me
(7:27:45 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: 1. Misfit Love 2. Sick Sick Sick 3. 3s and 7s 4. I'm Designer 5. Turnin' On The Screw
(7:28:04 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Misfit Love before Sick Sick Sick? That was a surprise.
(7:28:18 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: eh i guess
(7:28:21 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I'm surprised we didn't even talk about The Designer.
(7:28:32 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: well i just finished it
(7:28:52 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Favorite line "'Cause either way I get screwed, counter proposal I go home and jerk off."
(7:28:55 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: You'd be proud of me.
(7:28:58 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I've read the lyrics on this album.
(7:29:09 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: AHAHHA i was thinking of you when i heard that
(7:29:37 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Oh wow, it's so cool when you pop into peoples minds whenever the term "jerk off" is spat.
(7:30:28 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: but i gotta say.. this is NOT the album to think about the lyrics.. except for a person's favorite song or whatever.. the lyrics are sometimes hard to understand or just you dont even care cuz the sounds are mezmerizing
(7:31:22 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I completely disagree, maybe it's just 'cause they said "hump" and "jerk off" but I'm Designer's lyrics definitely struck all the right chords with me.
(7:31:45 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Overall, I enjoyed reading the lyrics, they're entertaining, cryptic, yet sarcastic at times, and even somewhat morbidly humorous.
(7:31:51 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I'm at a crossroads however.
(7:32:06 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: As to whether he is describing political ideals or something more personal, or hell, maybe a little bit of both.
(7:32:11 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: With this band, it could go both ways.
(7:32:14 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: They're out of their minds.
(7:32:21 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: it at least sounds that way..
(7:32:31 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: thats what can make a band great.. being secretive..
(7:32:43 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: let's people translate songs for themselves.. makes it more personal in a way..
(7:32:58 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: this guy could be talking about sleeping on a couch.. and someone else could think hes talking about a girl he loves
(7:33:36 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I'd go with sleeping with the girl he loves on the couch. Most of these songs have that seductive edge going for them. Misfit Love for instance "Do me first. Do your worst."
(7:33:39 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Kinky.
(7:33:40 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Real kinky.
(7:33:55 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: ahaha i feel that
(7:34:12 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: its something secretive... makes you think.. good artists can do that
(7:34:29 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Which explains why I can't do anything remotely close to this.
(7:34:39 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Not only am I not a good artist.
(7:34:48 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I don't even think we could ever call anything i've ever done artistic.
(7:34:56 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: lmfao
(7:34:57 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: probably not
(7:35:09 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: but overall.. this album id say
(7:35:25 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: gits a smooth 4 synth machines out of 5
(7:36:11 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: 5.1 pigs in a blanket out of 5, just 'cause it's that good, and just 'cause hot dogs rolled up in bread, dipped in ranch dressing are that much better than off-brand mac 'n' cheese.
(7:36:33 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: lmfao word.
(7:36:44 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: www.myspace.com/bigdaddyj9922
(7:36:52 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: thats where the good rap tunes are at
(7:37:02 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: and look for a new Queens of the Stone Age album in 09 hopefully
(7:37:11 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: maybe early 2010
(7:37:22 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: You can bet your ass I'll be downloading that one for free!
(7:37:26 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: That is, if I'm not in the slammer by then.
(7:37:37 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: hahaha word. word.

Scratchman Jenkins:

Dr. Zartan Prime: +.1

The Gaslight Anthem-The '59 Sound....and Bad Mac 'n' Cheese

(8:49:11 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I'll give you the honor of finding the link.
(8:49:31 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: its my choice tonight?
(8:49:42 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: You got it baby.
(8:49:57 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: what do you say we start it off with a good ol' New Jersey favorite,
(8:50:00 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: The Gaslight Anthem
(8:50:18 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: You read my mind, they just so happen to be playing on my playlist as we speak.
(8:50:23 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Along with that new Queens album.
(8:50:32 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: ahaha nice
(8:50:33 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: alright
(8:50:38 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: do you need to the link then?
(8:50:59 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I needn't any link, I had this shit playing right after you hit the hay last night and it hasn't stopped since.
(8:51:23 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: good stuff
(8:51:25 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: which album?
(8:51:31 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Newest one, of course!
(8:51:42 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: absoultely h.i
(8:51:43 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: h.o
(8:52:46 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: ready to go
(8:53:02 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Good deal, well, before we get started, notice the changes to the blog?
(8:53:12 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: havent signed on
(8:53:22 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I took it upon myself to add a few additions, most notably a poll.
(8:53:37 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: alright ill check it out after all is said and done tonight
(8:53:50 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: It's the age old argument of who would win in a fight between Punisher and Batman.
(8:53:56 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: So far, Batman is in the lead by one whole vote.
(8:54:01 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: lmfao
(8:54:01 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I wonder who that could be?
(8:54:02 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: you
(8:54:16 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Alright, well I just finished Great Expectations.
(8:54:21 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Solid track, good way to start the album.
(8:54:30 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Good enough to keep me listening 'til '58 Sound.
(8:54:32 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: That's where it's at.
(8:55:14 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: id agree.. i love the lyrics to Great Expectations.. they really express the message that the band is trying to git across.. all about describing the good ol' days
(8:55:39 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Oh, that's what they were talking about? I didn't notice.
(8:56:11 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: ahaha yeah.. most of their songs try to express having fun and just living life
(8:56:22 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: even though.. some like The 59 Sound.. can express somewhat sadness
(8:56:39 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Oh, so it's the only realistic song on the album? No wonder it's my favorite.
(8:56:57 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Not to say the entire album doesn't have jam galore.
(8:57:01 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: This one is definitely a stand out though.
(8:57:33 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: It's rather deceiving though, despite being titled the '59 Sound, at times this guys voice reminds me more of an 80's power ballad.
(8:57:37 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Or maybe I'm just crazy.
(8:57:42 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I'd go 50/50 between the 2.
(8:58:24 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: i dont hear the voice as much like that.. i just hear the grit and talking about losing someone.. at least that's what it sounds like to me
(8:58:42 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: hits close to home.. makes you wonder about afterlife and losing someone special
(8:59:03 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Hold on, the mum made mac 'n' cheese.
(8:59:09 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: lmfao
(9:00:13 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Mmmmm, cheese.
(9:00:20 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Anyways, yes, losing a loved one.
(9:00:39 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: kinda a popular topic in most songs..
(9:00:46 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: The afterlife part, I can relate to that, as far as the loved ones, I'm part of the minority of adolescents that still have all 4 of his grandparents.
(9:01:03 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: youre lucky
(9:01:08 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Point is, the closest to home that comes is when my bunny rabbit died.
(9:01:21 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: i had a duck that died of testicular cancer
(9:01:23 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: But yeah, I consider myself pretty lucky for it, all 4 of my grandparents are a HUGE part of my life, and I wouldn't be the same without them.
(9:01:48 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: alright so im hearing Old White Lincoln right now
(9:02:12 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: again the lyrics are just mezmerizing.. i know you dont notice those as much but for some people, like me, the lyrics make the song
(9:02:46 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Yeah, I'd read them if it weren't for this crazy feeling off ADD I get when I see a songs lyrics that are longer than 4 lines.
(9:02:53 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I'm on Here's Looking at You, Kid.
(9:03:03 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: And with much regret, I will admit, I'm skipping it.
(9:03:11 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: AH
(9:03:18 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: It's not that I have beef with some itself, just with slow songs in general.
(9:03:57 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: i gotta admit i feel different.. the song reminds me of not being the right guy for someone.. which seems to have happened to me once or twice in life..
(9:04:33 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Once or twice to you, 50-100 with me, I lost count somewhere inbetween there.
(9:04:58 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: ahahha
(9:05:04 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: but i wanna back track to Miles Davis And The Cool
(9:05:12 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Great track.
(9:05:13 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: its another great song on the album..
(9:05:34 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: It's got just about the same jam quality as '59 Sound.
(9:05:41 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: If not, more.
(9:06:09 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: i'd agree.. i think 59 Sound takes it.. but Miles Davis And The Cool is definitely jam worthy
(9:06:46 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I would say '59 Sound take sit, if I hadn't just switched to Casanova, Baby!
(9:07:10 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: i enjoy that song.. but it's not one of my top songs on the album
(9:07:48 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Well well well, if that's how you feel about it, maybe we shoulda' just done the Twilight album to begin with. Maybe that chick flick shit is right up your alley!
(9:08:03 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: hey hey bro calm the hell down
(9:08:08 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: the song is a complete jam
(9:08:16 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: its just there's tracks on this album i like better
(9:08:33 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I'm sorry babe, it's not you, it's this mac 'n' cheese.
(9:08:35 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I just realized.
(9:08:37 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: It's really bad.
(9:08:43 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: lmfao thats why i dont eat it
(9:09:01 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: And I can't help but feel a bit down, I was really looking forward to having dinner for the first time in......a month? Maybe?
(9:09:19 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: Mac N Cheese = satan wrestling noodles in cheese in down south Arkansas
(9:09:59 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Beats the literal Satan's anal secretion that is caffeine.
(9:10:03 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: COUGHaddictCOUGH.
(9:10:14 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: alright let's not git sidetracked here
(9:10:22 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: we're talking about this magnificent album
(9:10:32 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: Lemme kick it back to High Lonesome
(9:10:55 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: I really enjoy the guitar work on this track
(9:11:15 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: upbeat but still maintains its strong sound
(9:11:53 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I just turned on Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, and despite the completely blatant sexual beef that is displayed in the title, the jam is smooooooth.
(9:11:57 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Smooth like Kanye.
(9:11:59 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Solid like 7th hour.
(9:12:16 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: ahaha damn right it is
(9:12:30 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: and i gotta admit
(9:12:41 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: the album finished off with a great remembrance
(9:12:43 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: The Backseat
(9:13:01 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: The jamming out at the beginning of the Backseat is epic, for lack of better words.
(9:13:07 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Then it just gets into solid jamming.
(9:13:17 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: +vocals, I mean.
(9:13:24 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: It is a quality end track.
(9:13:41 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: This album was arranged in perfect order, almost as if the album is telling a story, and I picked that up without even reading the lyrics.
(9:13:53 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: yeah i just like how it can relate to something teenagers know about.. love cars and life in general
(9:14:31 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: absoultely agreed.. with my noticing the lyrics.. take my word the lyrics are just intricately written and flow perfect with the sound of the album
(9:15:09 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: And they just strike me as the type of band that would do that, they're a story telling band. Maybe the sound isn't as comparable, but the feeling I get from this band is reminiscent of my Pearl Jam listening days.
(9:15:53 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: could be could be.. or could be their 1950/1960 influences, Roy Orbision, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, and the rest.. that gave them great ideas and sound
(9:17:02 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: That's just it, they've got a little bit of everything to offer fans of rock, whether it be the absolute mainstreem nay-sayers like myself, or the Mtv rats like a certain Throwdown fan I know, this is a good band, and anyone that disagrees.
(9:17:09 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: Is probably not straight.
(9:17:14 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: In more ways than one.
(9:18:14 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: absoultely.. they offer EVERYTHING.. A to Z.. nothing's missing... its a tremendous album.. i could see this band gitting a lot of recognition in the near future
(9:18:54 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I'm surprised they haven't already, this album gives off huge breakthrough potential. But what do I know about what people listen to these days? I find noise catchy at times.
(9:19:43 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: But that's irrelevant, point is, this is a great album, and if there's ever anyone that seriously reads all the way to this point, or reads at all, I would say this album is worth even getting off your ass, and buying.
(9:19:52 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I sure as hell won't, but I hope some people do.
(9:20:22 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: lmao i feel that.. its important to purchase music these days.. iTunes or stores.. artists need money
(9:20:36 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: i'd give this album a solid 5 white tshirts out of 5
(9:21:14 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: I'd give it a 4.5 off-brand mac 'n' cheese boxes out 5. The slow tracks took away a bit for me, nothing personal.
(9:21:26 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: understandable
(9:21:36 PM) Scratchman Jenkins: check out the poll.. vote for the punisher.. batman blows
(9:22:31 PM) Dr. Zartan Prime: This blog wasn't created as a democracy, so I won't even bother trying to campaign myself here, let the peoples hearts decide. As we all know where their loyalty lies here.
