Bought this album the day it came out a few weeks ago, but have only just gotten around to listening to it. And my god, what a way for the album to start! Must get onto the rest of it now! :D
Man, and I thought that the Ugly Kid Joe's "Cats In The Cradle" video was creepy when I was eight y.o. This is kinda' creepy even at twenty-eight, ha ha.
It was a long time coming and worth the wait. A great single and fantastic album overall. We decided to do an acoustic cover of this song when we were rehearsing last weekend
this song is hot i heard on the 91.5 radio station for a while wondering what the hell and who sings this shit i had to miss the kite a good 4 times before i heard the title and artist by the radio host
amazing. He's the best we have out there in rock music among with Fogerty, Queens Of The Stone Age , McCartney... that's what comes to my mind. Sorry, Foo Fighter is dead and pop. Pure rock.. rock on !
@ichbinlawollmond I don't understand the hate for Foo Fighters. Okay, their hits are pretty easy 4-chord songs, but Dave is easily one of the nicest guys to be around and I don't see why "pop" music should be condemned all the time
@Belabor92 very true. I'm not saying I support the "hate for foo" just saying it was rock long time ago.. maybe you're a child when they rocked really hard.
Them Crooked Vultures is the most sane work from Dave's since the FF third album
Pop music is condemned because it is soft and simple. There's 3-4 chords, usually has very tame lyrics, something that can be easily played on the radio and has no real substance behind it. There's no meaning or emotion, it's something you don't have to listen to to understand it.
If you like that kind of music, cool, but that's why IMO pop music is hated by music "snobs".
Thanks MArk for the music, no one in this era could do music this pure, dark, and ethereal, he is one the greatest lyricists and musicians to have ever existed, and what an artistic video!! cant wait to have the album in my hands!
Tom Waits is master of his own style, Mark Lanegan is best in his own interpretations. Comparing these two artist, and favoritism one of them is at least a mistake. I'm a great fan of Soulsavers with Mark Lanegan, and also a big fan of Tom Waits's works.
@LedSandman It's always good to have a mature and calm exchange of ideas. Sub-question: if I'm an idiot that makes you? At least I undestand irony and sarcasm... or are you dr. Sheldon Cooper?
The song is yet another great Mark Lanegan classic, but the video with the creepy Texas Chainsaw Massacre house, and masked serial killers and ghosts of their victims or whatever is going on in there does not fit the mood of the music at all. Lanegan is not a goth or death rock musician. This music coupled with this imagery is like a ketchup and peanut butter sandwich.
@jazzavantgarde This song is about digging one's grave through obsessive dedication to excess. It's not about spooky haunted houses, serial killers, ghosts and roses with teeth. It's a nice video, but it was obviously done by people who do not understand what Mark Lanegan is all about. Set to Bauhaus or some other goth or doom type band it would be perfect. Lanegan's imagery is more along the lines of cheap motel rooms and bars, deserts, down-and-outers, junkies and whiskey.
Who on earth dreamed up such a drab & pointless video...."lets have an image of a kid holding her dolly by the hair"...what gobshite nonsense. Decent song though.
@dpchaldon that's like saying, "photography is shit." they're just images that evoke thoughts or emotions. i'm sure someone somewhere could argue that there's some narrative here, but the idea that a music video is supposed to explain the song or have a plot is retarded
This may seem selfish but a new Gutter Twins album need to drop in like the next 6 months; and it should be called Jazz Funeral. No rest for the wicked boys!
