Every genius has put out one of these "weird" albums eventually. here is a list......
Eddie Vedder- Ukulele songs
Chris Cornell- Scream
Billy Corgan- Future Embrace
and I am sure there are many more but it is too early in the morning to think
how is Uke Songs "weird"? he showcased his uke affection on Binaural and during his rare solo performances back then. I didn't find it to be a stretch at all. the other two, though, yeah.....

Well it isn't weird for us diehards, but if you asked any casual fan or Radio programmer I think they would think a full album of songs played on the Uke by Ed Ved would seem like a "weird" direction for him to go.

I wouldn’t really classify Cornell and EV in the same class or type of genius as JW. Jack has been the driving force in every known band he’s been a part of, with a very distinct thumbprint. CC and EV have relied on other band members at times.
I view Scream and Uke Songs as obvious side project designed to get away from a sound they were know for and they seemed to be marketed that way.
I wouldn't classify JW as a genius at all. I think Cornell is one of the greatest songwriters of our time. I look at Ed as my generation's Bob Dylan.
JW hasn't really done anything musically that I would consider groundbreaking.
Disagree.. he was the driving force behind the (albeit short lived) garage rock movement. He produced a grammy winning country album by a female singer. His solo albums were completely different than the WS. Racons and the Dead Weather both have their own distinct sounds. The guy can write music in so many different genres; rock, hard rock, folk, country, blues, etc. The only thing he hasn't really touched is jazz. I have always said he is our generation's Neil Young.

I wouldn't classify JW as a genius at all. I think Cornell is one of the greatest songwriters of our time. I look at Ed as my generation's Bob Dylan.
Cornellnis a great songwriter, but the best music that he’s been a part of has other strong musical personalities helping bring it to fruition.
Well, Ed’s great and all, but he simply doesn’t have the reputation or body of work to be considered anything close to Bob Dylan.
I just meant in the "rocker" and "folk singer" way. That said, BD has put out a lot of shyte. If Ed released everything he's ever written/recorded like Bob and Neil seem to do, the conversation might be quite different. I imagine a HOST of EV stuff that remains in his own little vault.
Got my shipping confirmation today, Tues delivery. WTF I like how TMR does things but it wouldn't have been too hard to ship these so they arrive by the release date.
Guess I'm in the minority because I'm digging the new direction.

My thing is, Ed’s songs aren’t ever going to inform culture the way Dylan’s have. His lyrics have permeated language and the way generations think. He has no equal, really. The “shyte” that him and Neil have put out came after extensive periods of operating at pretty insane level of creativity. I think Ed has learned some restraint and self editing from those guys.
Don’t want to come off like I’m slagging Ed or Cornell. They’re once in a lifetime talents. I’m here and not over at LittleRoom. I’m not saying either is more or less talented. Just the way their roads have led and my perception.

I agree. I wasn't really trying to elevate Ed to Bob's status. I was more trying to paint a picture of what Ed means to me in terms of impact musically. I don't think ANYONE can match what Dylan did, partly because of his songwriting, but also because of the generation he was in. Context is everything in my opinion.
Let's just agree that Gord Downie kicked Eddie and Chris's asses in terms of lyrics, agree that Bob Dylan is in a different ballpark altogether in terms of impact (I can't even believe anyone thinks any of these guys come close to Bob Dylan as far as that goes, whether you love Dylan or not), and leave it at that? (and honestly, Eddie used to be pretty damn good with lyrics/writing, but not anymore. I think he's fallen to the bottom of the barrel)
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata

How so? It was just a lighthearted comment - stop being so serious.

Don't know much about Gord, but Bruce has always spoke to me. But I grew up in rust belt city so I get everything that he sings about.
If it was the 19th century, Bruce and Dylan would be our Emerson and Thoreau.

Bruce is definitely also a great lyricist/writer... or used to be anyway. I think he's really lost a lot of his impact too, just like Eddie.... It could be a lifestyle thing for those two... I'm not at all convinced it's an age thing. More like a "I'm so fucking rich and I almost exclusively hobnob with movie stars and other super famous people" thing. I don't think Dylan even got there. Obviously Gord didn't either - I don't think he even really even got super duper rich, since he's only really a Canadian thing.
As for Jack White.... Not sure what's up with him. He's a bit of a weirdo, lol. I do LOVE his whole TMR thing though. I agree he badly needs to change his tactics there though, as far as who he's producing goes, and what kind of music he's putting out there via TMR. I mean, come on, most of it is barely listenable to the majority of people. What's he got against some really awesome alt rock? Or some cool variances in that direction? Some music that appeals to more people that just his own weird little subgenre would be cool.

I think JW is a genius not only for his music but his business acumen too.
He has ridden the vinyl resurgence to a huge fortune.
and I agree with mrussel1 too about the music. they guy can pretty much do any genre..... except according to the reviews- HipHop/Electro/Spokenword.
