Toadies - No Deliverance

What kind of sound are they going for on this new one? I heard it wasn't at all similar to Rubberneck, which is the only one I'm actually familiar with.

It's an excellent album. I'm kind of biased though cause they are like one of my favorite bands (Love them just as much as pj).

It does not sound like Rubberneck or Hell Below stars above to me. The riffs are heavier sounding, but Clark's guitar sound and solos are alot more classic rock sounding this time around. "Hell in high water" reminds me of either "Radar Love" by Golden earing, and a little bit like "Back in the saddle" by Aerosmith. It's one of the best tracks on the album. The whole album is excellent. "So long, Lovely eyes" is quickly becoming the new Toadies die hard favorite it seems and with great reason.

The album does have songs that have the heavy punch of Rubberneck and Hell Below stars above a little bit but not as much.
Vaden has always been about making a new record a little different than the last. It was the same way with the Burden Brothers albums. Both those albums have the rock and roll in your face punch, but yet are entirely different.
If you are a Toadies fan it is a must have. I'd even reccommend to someone who is just a rock and roll fan. It's one of the best albums of 2008.

On first listen, it's pretty solid. I really like One More.

Agreed, "One More" is my current favorite. btw, did anyone buy the iTunes version? I'm trying to find their Cure cover of "A Forest".

I have to give it a real good listen tonight or tomorrow...I've only been able to have it on the background and I've also been listening to a few other new records over the past few days. There were a few things I heard that I liked immediately, a few that sounded a little off to me though.

Red Mos, even with just a glancing listen, I agree with you about the riffs and solos. Loving that!

The thing I'm most excited about is updating the Toadies/Burden Brothers compilation that I've been playing to death for years - it never gets old (and the last BB album provided some great additions!).

still waiting for it in the mail

I have listened through it one time. so far, I don't think it's as good as the previous 2 albums. the music is the same, but I don't think Todd's singing is as good and the lyrics aren't as clever. it seems rushed.

"So Long Lovey Eyes" and "Song That I Hate" are the two standouts for me. Song that I Hate has the "Tyler"/"Dollskin" feel that I like. "Hell In High Water" (I think) has the "I Come From the Water" feel.

It's ok, and I'm going to listen to it some more. but the other two albums are alltime classics and I think the lyrics on this one are not as good.

Well, hey at least you got pearl jam this summer. They may not have played your city (I don't know if they did). But they decided to give us in Texas the big F U again. (Sucks too, cause Ed has a sister that lives here in Houston), so living in Florida can't be that bad . But I will admit, another favorite band of mine, (Love then as much as pj.... Toadies), have taken good care of us over the last year. I can't wait till next week. , I love pj, but I'm still like wtf :( regarding live shows.
