    I reckon it's better than Sweet Oblivion.

    Fuck the nay-sayers :)


    Haven't listened for about a year. Should give it a spin soon. Sworn & Broken was always one of my favourite songs.

    The Screaming Trees are a masterpiece in general. I love the Trees and pretty much anything Lanegan touches. He can do no wrong as far as I'm concerned. Met him earlier this year :)

    Somebody list the three album names or band names or whatver that I have to hear involving Lanegan outside of the Trees and QOTSA. I need to hear some new, or even older Lanegan that I haven't heard. I picked up Whiskey for the Holy Ghost once and I found I could nod off faster listening to that than if I was doing H. with Mark himself.

    I totally agree that it's better than Sweet Oblivion (although that is a great record too), and I was just playing along to Sworn and Broken, probably my favourite on the record.

    Also: Dust rocks buttons. Halo of Ashes kicks my ass every single time, and Sworn and Broken is my favourite too. :D But to be fair, there aren't many Lanegan records where his vocals aren't amazing. ;)

    Yeah Look at You is my other favourite - although it's pretty hard to pick favourites on an album that good.

    Dust is above mediocre, slightly.. It's a 6.

    Maybe if Mark Lanegan didn't feel the need to say the 2 most cliche lyrics in any song that could be written - "deep inside" on the album to the extent he does, it would be a 7.

    That's your opinion. Of course, your opinion carries somewhat less weight than it might have had you not introduced yourself to the board in a blaze of idiocy.

    I want Young Guns III to be made, just so Blaze of Idiocy could be its theme song. :D








    And also so that Emilio Estevez could get some work. I miss that guy.

    hang on... wouldn't that mean more Jon Bon Jovi? Because I do NOT endorse that.

    As for Emilio Estevez, eschewing his father and brother's stage name isn't looking like such an admirable move any more is it? :p

    It'd mean more Jon Bon Jovi, but he'd be singing some poxy power ballad about being an idiot. How can you not endorse that? :D

    Interesting fact: the guitar solo on Blaze of Glory was played by Mr. Jeff Beck. :eek:

    I totally agree with this. If you were to pick one to start with I would say Saturnalia. It's a little more upbeat than the others if that's what your looking for.

    Haha, true. Seeing the Jonbon singing about being an idiot would cushion some of the blow of having to hear him sing at all.


    Oh, and my respect for Mr Beck just slipped a bit :p

    I always said Sambora was the real talent of that group. And look at him now: drunk-driving his kids around while Jonbon smooches up with LeAnn Rimes in some godawful country schmaltz-athon. I was right all along. :D

    Meanwhile... Dust is good. :) [/integrity]
