They need a bit of getting used to
Which one did you buy?
The S/T?
I reckon the best is Let It Bloom. Or the live album, which is sodding brilliant.
Messy punk done good.
i just bought a single
Bad Kids and Leroy Faster.
i was expecting them to be loud and fast, but both songs are NEITHER loud NOR fast!
that's the new album
which is a bit hit and miss.
Let It Bloom is great. They're not always that fast. But they're definitely loud and raucous and recorded on a 4 track.
Times New Viking are wai better though.
ah i might give them another chance then
they dont sound bad
but i mean come on,
they so did not justify this artwork
http://www.clickmusic.com/upload/badkids300.jpg
"getting used to"?
Has he not heard garage rock before?
I dunno
It took me a few listens to get past the whole country influence
I think two members have moustaches
this is enough to know it will be bad
At least you haven't seen them live
they were a little disappointing following No Age
but they were pretty good. Got better towards the end.
I wouldn't know
Did you really hate them that much?
why?
They seem kind of clinical and manufactured
*seemed
I can see that.
Their new album is pretty polished sounding. I don't think I like it as much as the old stuff.
My friend digs 'em and told me to check 'em out
and about the best I can say is they're better than the Black Kids (my least fav "black" band).
but worse than
Big Black
Black Sabbath
Black Keys
Black Star Liner
Blackalicious (maybe not, I have no idea)
Ritchie Blackmore
Blackstar Orkestra
Frank Black
Black
Black box recorder
Black Box
The Black Dog
pointless
bed
black pus
i loved them for a while, but they got rather old, rather quickly...harmless though.
the live album and let it bloom are great records though
YOU MISSED THE BEST ONE!
BLACK FLAG!
Black Angels
Black Mountain
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
...shessh, I'll bet there's a wikipedia on 'black' bands..ha!
Black Lips
are pretty excellent, I saw them at the 100 Club last week, it was pretty incredible, loads of fun in fact, what's not to like?
nah theyre ok
just that based on the artwork they sounded like nothing i expected/wanted them to
Divs aplenty on this thread.
Divvies.
agree with the person above
absolute born divvies
I don't know what this thread is on about!
The new album is brilliant! and the live album is my favorite live album ever!
the artwork is misleading but I've learned not to get my hopes up based purely on artwork.
unless it's the new weezer!!!!
Great band
especially Good Bad Not Evil
fun
black lips are great fun, get the live album first then go through there back catalogue record by record.
you can't not like the Black Lips
bad kids is an awesome singalong song!
I'd say
get Let It Bloom first cus thats still quite scraggly sounding and if you can get with that then all will become clear.
Sing 'Under The Moon Of Love'
along with it instead...
I love Black Lips
They are amazing! They're recordings are ace and live they are brilliantly shambolic. I saw them play acoustically in a record shop and even that ruled hard.
PS> Moustaches in bands = good thing.
I obviously meant...
their recordings. Add one extra div to the div count.
