Worth the first two minutes of bullshit.

albums currently spinning on my iPod:

Catherine Wheel: 'Chrome'. AMAZING album from an underrated band.
Pearl Jam: 'Pearl Jam'. I only really liked 'VS' but I thought I'd give one of their later albums a go. Indications were that this one was considered one of the better ones. It's GREAT.

Give Vitalogy a shot for good older PJ. The self-titled is indeed solid. Backspacer is good too but can't finish strong (a problem with much of PJ's output).

Just stay the fuck away from Riot Act.

Never cared for 'Vitalogy'. It has a few good songs on it but isn't consistent enough for me to listen to. Indeed, it was 'Vitalogy' that turned me off on the band in a major way, which was really disappointing...after the masterpiece that is 'VS', I was kinda crushed on the band.

Give that Catherine Wheel album a go, Russ. Seriously.

[Captain Russ]

Picked up Sloan's newest one.

I swear Chris Murphy sounds just like Brad Delp from Boston.

It's insane.

This make-a-me sad. Did you give No Code a shot?

Most people who were burned by Vit seem to like it a lot.

And I will give Wheel a go. Always searching for new stuff.

I DID give 'No Code' a go. I was managing a CD store at the time that it came out. I definitely liked it more than 'Vitalogy', but it was a bit too mellow for my tastes. 'Hail Hail' was the only real ROCKER on it, and I wanted more material like that. It's been a while since I gave that one a listen...

If you dig that CW album and want more of the same, give their 'Adam and Eve' album a go. VERY solid. You might also like 'Happy Days' as it's a bit more commercial. 'Chrome' is the one, though.

You'll probably enjoy Backspacer then. It's front-loaded with rollicking stuff.

So strong vocally. Ridiculous.

[Captain Russ]

Ridiculous.

Yeah.

(I kid. Just not my sort of thing. Keep truckin'.)

[B_Metal]

It's cool, I go through phases with different types of music but that chick can sing.
