some people are pessimists (like myself)
get used to it.
I'm sorry but when i hear 36 minutes for 11 songs i'm naturally a little worried.
Ten was 54 minutes or something like that with the same number of songs...
because i'm a pessimist that makes me assume the new album (especially after hearing "got some") will be full of such songs that... don't get me wrong...I WILL enjoy! the songs will be upbeat, fast and catchy...some decent powerchord riffs (again i want to see some more unique riffs these days...)
but i'm thinking these songs will be a lot like breakerfall, gods dice, grievance...good, catchy songs...pick up the pace during a live show but don't give me much more than that.
I'm still going to buy the album and enjoy it somewhat...but i'm sorry i'm thinking pessimistic here because i know i won't get what i crave...I want new songs like Garden and Black and Porch that just take me into a different world and can be transformed into something unreal when played live.
peace and love0 -

No problems Mate.
Opinions are cool.
I just find it odd that you're disapointed by an album you haven't even heard yet.
36 minutes or 1 hour 36 minutes....It really means dick to me.
Riot Act was their longest album and yet it's my least favorite.
Perhaps the fat is not where it's at.
Personally I'm reserving judgement until I actually hear the album.
Only then will opinions and critique become valid.
Then again...If you are looking for TEN pt.2 or ELEVEN -for that matter-
I guess you are going to be disapointed.0 -

i hope not all songs are 3.5 minutes....
it's just such a standard amount of time for a song...
intro/verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus
sometimes gets a little old fairly fast if it's really quick and doesn't contain much more than some catchy power chord riffs....I wanna hear some real unique RIFFS
anyways i really don't wanna check back through all the pages
if there are any more samples of songs from this album...please let me know :oops:"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

i may be wrong but i think you might have added the word "live" to that quote?“I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”0 -

Are you sure this is the best choice of word you could have used to express your displeasure with the band Coldplay. I'm not defending them one way or another, I'm just wondering if it necessary to use put-downs that draw their strength from the denigration of an entire segment of the world's population?
Intentional or not, this was bad form. :("A lot more people are capable of being big out there that just don't give themselves a chance." -Stone Gossard0 -

I agree here. A little history on the word "fag," and its origins:
During the Salem witch trials homosexual people were used as the fuel to start the fires that burnt the witches at the stake. Hence, they started calling gay people "fags," as in- "bundles of wood" used for kindling a fire. Needless to say, this is an EXTREMELY offensive term that has frighteningly become standard slang.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand- As has already been said, there are SO many tracks produced by various bands that share titles. History tells us that song title has NO bearing on a song's quality. This "bad track title" mindset needs to go!"P-E-A-R-L J-A-M is priceless to me."0 -

While for you being called "fag" would be insulting because it would insinuate that you were homosexual (which you made a point to indicate that you were not), if you did happen to be gay, and you were being called a "fag," it would be synonymous with being called something like n***er or some other racially charged (highly prejudiced) epithet. And, as I posted above, the origin of the word "fag" in relation to homosexuality is horrific and entirely offensive.
Bottom-line: You should be less concerned with being called "gay," and more concerned with the implications of using the word "fag.""P-E-A-R-L J-A-M is priceless to me."0 -
