They will open for Pearl jam in some concerts, and i never heard about them before... but last week i downloaded some songs of them, wordless chorus- off the record and it beats for you, and i admit they play good and listenable rock music...i would like to see them live... of course with pearl jam too...

    Get Z. It's amazing.
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    Some die just to live.

    I thought they were horrible opening for Pearl Jam. The lead singer was screeching and was atrocious. The music and jamming was good but as soon as the singer opened his mouth I couldn't take it.

    really? i thought his voice sounds incredible live. it sure beats the wailing of sleater-kinney.

    does anyone know anything about their live album/dvd? i saw a post on it at some point but now i cant find it anywhere by searching...

    It probably has to do with my dislike for that vocal style. I can't stand any of the vocalists of this indie rage.

    i cant usually either, but he reminded me more of some 70s crooner. almost like rush or something. i dig it. but to each their own.

    They are great, I think Z is the best place to start, if you like the last 3 songs then get It Still Moves. They have a double live album coming out next month.

    I'm not sure, I read about it on a MB at first a few weeks ago and couldn't find any solid info. But it leaked, so it definitely exists. I thought it might be a UK only release but recently I saw an article about it with a tracklisting, sorry I can't seem to find it though. It is coming out late September from what I remember.

    I just checked them out on "Austin City Limits" last night & thought they were great........that song "Dondante" is gorgeous!

    So should I get "It Still Moves"? Recommendations? I think I'll pick up "Z" to start with.....

    Thanks.

    Great band!!!

    My favorites songs are Off the record, Gideon and where to begin

    "Z" is such an amazing record and I've heard they are pretty good live, I saw them on Letterman and they were awesome!!!! Glad the guys like them

    Listen to "Band of Horses" they are from seattle, I'm sure they are influence by My morning Jacket, I recommend that band also!!

    resurrecting this MMJ thread to ask some basics.

    I recently got Z and it really is unbelievable. Lay Low is probably one of the best songs of the year IMO:)

    So my question is.. what should i get? I went to best buy and got what they had and so far i am not sure what to think. of course it was "the sandwich cometh" which is a demo/covers CD: but i also got the live album which is damn good.

    So umm.. what else should i try out by them? incase they changed sounds, i REALLY REALLY would like a suggestion of an album that would be anywheres near the sound of Z.
  • off_the_recordoff_the_record Posts: 843
    they only have 4 studio albums and the other 3 dont sound like Z.

    it still moves is probably your best bet from here, although i think at dawn is better.

    I saw MMJ last Friday....great show....I got to watch soundcheck...they really rocked, even in front of 10 people.

    I saw them open for PJ 2x.....I reckon I was too focused on PJ to give them a huge chance those nights....I remember seeing them open for the Doves in 2002...they were so metal-like back then!

    I have the new live dvd and cd...gonna give them a go tomorrow night!

    The Tennessee Fire takes a little to get into, but once you do, it is awesome.

    At Dawn
    The Tennessee Fire
    Z
    It Still Moves

    That's how I rank 'em. Most to least. At the moment anyway.

    I discovered that band when I heard they would open for PJ in Paris.
    I bought "Z" and I liked it.
    Then, it became better and better each time I listened to it.
    Okonokos is also awesome.
    "Lay low" followed by "Donate" is incredible...
    I just ordere the vinyl and can't wait to have it...

    yeah.. i am listening to "It Still Moves" for the first time as i am typing this.. "I Will Sing You Songs" is bouncing off my walls and all i can think is.. WOW

    in my opinion, this is what a lot of music is missing now. extended jams and solo's that let you hear the entire bands talent and not just the one good person in the band that everyone talks about.

    they have a strange country meets rock-n-roll sound.

    i thought of something earlier today.. MMJ is like Kyuss's cousin from Kansas that is not as bad a stoner as Kyuss is. i don't care if it doesn't make sense to you, it does to me:)

    Lay Low probably the best song off of Z. And as for having an indie-sounding voice, I don't like "indie" music persay, but this doesn't really fall under that category. it's rock.

    I really like this band now. They were brilliant supporting PJ in Europe, even if come the 5th Italy show it was the same songs I'd heard before! :D

    Would definitely go and see them live if they played in the UK
