You really don't think that's a disappointing album to shut the door on your band with?
There's some good songs on there, but everything that made Jawbreaker great is missing. Blake's trademark raspy vocals, the raw production, the energy... I don't think it sucks, but it is absolutely a disappointing swansong album.

you're letting a shift in aesthetics obscure one fact: there is some great songwriting on that album. if the name "jawbreaker" wasn't on there people wouldn't shit on it so much.

I'm with Mithrandir on this one. They're recording another album if I'm not mistaken.

Like i said, there's good songs on there. It just doesn't sound like Jawbreaker. And i think you're right about people not shitting on it they changed their name for that LP (which they should have), because it's a good album... just not compared to other Jawbreaker albums.

Jerry Only's repeated failures to make Misfits like ICP, getting them a spot on WCW where their one appearance flopped so bad they were never asked back, their failed toy line (two $50 dolls couldn't give them away at $2.99 which be how much I got them for), their failure to write any songs that weren't completely fucking gay, failure to do anything but make money off of Danzig's hard work, caused his own brother to smash his guitar on the stage during the middle of a show and the whole band walked out on him. Jerry continued the song on bass and vocals while crying then did a failed backflip into the crowd, he continues to limp along with an even worse bastardization of the Misfits name that this, fuck this guy, go listen to Bobby Steele's The Undead - Dawn of The Undead

People really like that record? I've downloaded it three times, listened thrice, and promptly deleted each time afterward. I did try to like it but it just wasn't happening. To me, it sounds like an old man way past his prime discovering how gnarly a downtuned guitar sounds and just shitting out every cliched riff he could muster. Celtic Frost riffs should be awesome enough to curdle milk and stillbirth babies, not chugga chugga to a borrowed beat like a dinosaur who thinks he's a mountain lion.
But I think I know of an even worse swan song record: Of Lucifer and Lightning. That's enough to make me weep, seeing it with the rest of the Angel Corpses on my shelf.

"A Dying God Coming Into Human Flesh" is a total chugfest, right...
If I had a nickel every time someone started flailing their arms and spin-kicking to the chugs in "Obscured"...

If you mean the Misfits(tm) yes it is, the album afterwards was B-sides recorded before it, if you mean Celtic Frost, yes it is. After that Fakefits album it turned into a Jerry Only solo project, but still whoring the name out, that guy is a fucking loser. Listen to The Undead, or Danzig.

I actually liked its Killing Joke pastiches better than the band's "proper" records.
