Huh…
I just listened through all the 30 second clips of the new DMB album available now on iTunes. I'm, frankly, disappointed. This one, a lot like some of the last couple albums, seemed to be missing something. Everyday was missing, you know, a soul -- not to say I don't like the disc, I just like the versions of the songs they play now. The ones on the disc feel rather... dead. Busted Stuff was very much "The Lillywhite Sessions pt. 2." Which was Ok. But I liked the Lillywhite version better. And I never got into actually listening through that disc, and now I can't find it. This one, this was... well... generic. It seemed that everything could have been put out by, you know, anyone. I didn't hear one song that had a driving badass rhythm guitar part... The trademark DMB thing (for people who play guitar). That catchy line that makes you want to dance or sing or whatever. I didn't hear it. Not in one song. I'll probably still end up buying it when I have the cash, but I have the feeling that I'm going to be one of those people who likes "their early work." *shudder*
