so yesterday i listened to pizza deliverance for the first (and 5th, 6th...) time(s) and holy shit. until that penis song, whose only redeeming quality is the ole, the album is damn near perfect. and zoloft and gg allin at the end make you forget the misstep. patterson's voice at the end of nine bullets is absolutely sick. like black francis' bloody murder screams only more sincere.
also listened to but less enthused about a blessing and a curse. it's good enough that i'll give it the opportunity to grow on me, though.
and great car dealer war, that song'd make bruce springsteen jealous.
who's this rob malone character on mrs dubose? ex band member, band member who never sings or a guest cameo? i can't keep up with all the voices.
anyway, i haven't been this pissed off about catching on late since i found the replacements circa don't tell a soul. i love this band.

Rob Malone is an ex band member. He's on Southern Rock Opera as well. Blessing and A Curse took a little while to grow on me, but it's one of my favorites. World of Hurt especially hits harder after seeing it live.
I've always seen Great Car Dealer war in the same light as Tough Sell (of Gangstabilly). Patterson tends to write a few songs about the same subject, but all entertaining.
"You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

ABAAC does have some great Patterson song's.........Aftermath, Wednesday etc....give it a chance.
All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.

Yeah I think the problem with ABAAC is the lack of songs from Jason and Cooley. I mean the two Cooley tracks are awesome, but Jason's two are probably my least favorite from him. Dirty South was a bit more balanced between the three of them.
The Man has a branch office in each of our brains, his corporate emblem is a white albatross, each local rep has a cover known as the Ego, and their mission in this world is Bad Shit.

I don't think that Jason's songs would have made the cut for his solo album...which might be some of the problem behind his departure, other than the divorce.
That album doesn't have some of Cooley's best work either.

Yeah I would take just about anything from Sirens of the Ditch over the two tracks on ABAAC. After hearing that record I started thinking that perhaps he was holding back some of his better stuff for the solo record, and the quality of his DBT contributions was suffering (thus the depature).

ABAAC sure seems weak compared to the other DBT albums. Gravity's Gone and World of Hurt are the only two I still listen to anymore. Wednesday, Little Bonnie, and Aftermath had their moments back when the album came out, but not so much anymore.
I always felt When The Well Runs Dry trumped Easy On Yourself and especially Daylight. Too bad it was hidden away on the bonus disc.

As the other half of the Tybird duo, I can only say that I'm been singing Nine Bullets since Friday night...it's a favorite, but I wonder if it's starting to make Ty nervous...I take a little too much glee over where bullet number 8 is headed. I also really enjoyed singing a duet with a very drunk guy next to me during Zip City....guy could sing every word perfectly and couldn't put a sentence together 3 minutes later.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for New Year's Eve...ya'll come down this way and party at our house!

Have been keeping track of the board but have not been posting lately - following the action on ninebullets, too - very excited about the new album and can't stop spinning Sirens of the Ditch, either...
I had to chime in though to say that ABAAC is drastically underrated. Granted it is different than most of the rest of the catalog, there are some brilliant tunes - and Jason's work is just fine - Easy on yourself (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPATjKDzyao) might be my favorite track on the album - and Daylight is a pop song, but a bearable one... and don't forget When the Well Runs dry - 99 percent of people couldn't write that song, let alone include it as a "bonus track"...
Nevermind tracks like Little Bonnie - PAtterson at his finest... and Cooley's contributions are worthy - although I do like his newer stuff that better - the stuff that will likely be on the new album...
Also - I'm retreading old stuff because I haven't posted in a while - but am I the only one who thinks the best track on Jason's solo disc is the bonus tune? Whisper is hands down the track that I've spun more often than anything else, followed by Down in a Hole, Trouble...
That's it for now - glad to see the DBT talk...

PS: Listening to some MAgnolia Electric Co. lately - depressing as hell, but good stuff - Don't Fade on Me and Montgomery haven't left my Top 10 on ITunes for weeks upon weeks...

Careless (live)
Marry Me (live)
I thought Daylight was a pretty strong track of Blessing and a Curse. Great chorus especially. Aftermath U.S.A. is a great one too.
My bad, I have that one... I was referring to "Whisper" the extra track on Jason's solo record if you get it from iTunes.

Sirens of The Ditch would have been much better if he had used Whisper, The Assassin and especially Crystal Clear.
He said at some early shows that the Assassin was going to be on the record, so I am pretty sure he recorded it... oh well, the live versions still rock.

ABAAC is much like Binuaral...a very good album living in the shadows of previous great albums.
There are songs that I don't connect with on the album but, for the most part, there are more highlights than lowlights.
•Hearing Patterson sing, "It's fuckin' great to be alive" in concert is one.
•The lines:
She said "I can bend my arms until they're backward
But you can't bend your will to take in mine
And I could hold my breath until next Wednesday
And still be doing fine
They resonant with my stubborn nature.
•Cooley singing: "If you were supposed to watch you're mouth all the time I doubt your eyes would be above it"
Again, a good album that I still play from time to time, but no where near the quality of their previous efforts.

I haven't heard Whisper yet. Do you have to buy the whole album on iTunes to get it or can you just buy the one song? I bought the CD already & don't do iTunes. A friend could get the song for me if I reimburse him.
My heart sank when the new DBT tourdates came out & their Northeast dates were the same weekend as the Bridge School Benefit. This will be the first DBT show at Bowery Ballroom that I've ever missed as I saw the first five in that venue.
It's interesting that Patterson said they'll be in Birmingham for NYE this year. I had previously read that they would be playing in Washington DC. Either way I'm sure it will be a great time.
I think ABAAC is their weakest album from start to finish but it does have some gems like Space City, Aftermath USA, Gravity's Gone, and A World Of Hurt. I love the new stuff that I've heard and am really looking forward to the new album.
You see me empty, Sir, do not pause and inquire, simply assume and refill.

He actually said that Birmingham was where they wanted to play for NYE....no venue was named. They had some problems with the venue Friday night. Some serious mic troubles, and I think the room gave the mixing board guys some fits in dealing with Spooner. The mic popped on "Fat Elvis" prior to the show during the Cooley re-Wedding.....then the same mic popped Patterson twice during "Birmingham." It caused about a three minute delay while they fixed it. Cooley got on the owner of the venue.....Alan Hunter, ex MTV veejay from yesteryear. That was pretty funny.
