puscifer scares me.

primus' "jilly's on smack" is a new favorite of mines off their new album. it also sounds really cool live.

That is another choice cut from that album.  So great to hear Les and Larry back to groovin' off each other, and to hear Jay Lane's influence actually on a solid recording.  I'd always heard how he played was a big part of how the band found their sound, but he left before their first major-label debut.

In other news, I don't think its possible to cover this song and not have it be heart-wrenching. Quite an unexpected source for a song like this.

Also, if you've seen Away From Her, you know this song is going to put your heart through the food processor all over again.

on Green Naugahyde, I still hear reminisce of "Here Come the Bastards" on Last Salmon Man and The Last Superpower somewhere else. I don't mind it, but it's in there. Moron TV is another favorite of mine.

Seriously, seeing them live isn't fair. They can take an hour and a half set and make it feel like 20 minutes. I didn't understand when the show was over, it felt like they just got started.

After a couple listens, I think the entire album is solid, cover to cover.  Every track showcases their different stylistic techniques in one way or another.  In this case, they really can all be zingers. :P

i need to give it another few listens, i've only made it through once and didn't dislike it but nothing really stood out
Oh hi

I downloaded the new Puscifer album...


I haven't listened to it enough to know how I feel. But after the listen from the website and now today's. Its kinda meh... I mean, its not terrible. But at the same time, it isn't amazing, or ground breaking. Just something to listen to. I'll know for sure soon. I will say, I'm glade I didn't buy it...  :(

Ya, it was digital, and I could buy it, I would. Also, I think I would trim it down to an EP... There are some good songs on it. But there seams to be some filler as well...

Whoa. Proggy. So they're from DC, huh? Maybe I'll see if they have any dates 'round here, it looks like it'd be a fun show.


For Puscifer, I don't know, MayJay's inscrutability is becoming more and more perplexing to me. The songs are pretty good. Good enough, in fact, to make me wonder why APC or Tool weren't given a stab at them. But then there's that cover art, which seems calculated to undermine the whole mood. I know that MayJay's all about that kind of screwing with expectations, yet my gut's telling me that he'd get super pissed if anyone actually asks him, "What's the deal with your ridiculous cover art?"

That was indeed progtastic.  Me likey!  Reminded me a lot, stylistically speaking, of what I discovered recently in Scale The Summit.  These guys get a little more shreddy that STS does, but the groove is similar.  Their two albums just made my wish list.

I have listened to Tool's cover of No Quarter all day today. Nothing else has been played... I also think it blows the og out of the water...
