he's right. elephant... but now you have me thinking of kari polishing one of her own turds, and i'm uncomfortable with my enticement of the idea.hipster holocaust wrote:Don't tell me I missed the redhead providing a specimen on cable televisionGhost Dad wrote:Actually, you can.

I've come to basically agree. I loved that album when it first came out, but when I want to listen to HoF, I hardly ever grab it, and if I do, I get about halfway through "Frost Hammer" before putting on Blessed Black Wings again. I think "Bastard Samurai" and "How Dark We Pray" are great, but the album as a whole doesn't do much for me.Mooretician wrote:Snakes for the Divine was a total disappointment EXCEPT for the title track, that shit is one of the best HOF songs ever.

I hope that was pee of dismay. Snakes sounded so fucking bad; why wouldn't they make a conscious decision to record with someone who could help redeem them? Converge's records sound ok because I've grown accustomed to them, but all the other Ballou albums I've heard have sounded awful. They sound big, but they also sound steroid-ed and fake.triple clutcher v2.5b wrote:Mooretician wrote:They recorded the new one with Kurt Ballou
I think I just peed a little.
I have supremely low hopes for this one, so I'm gonna happily wet myself if I can at least imagine them creating an album that sounds like some brutally ridiculous combination of "Blessed Black Wings" and "Jane Doe".altars of radness wrote:I hope that was pee of dismay.

It's cool that they work with a different engineer for each record, but why piss around at this point? Who would fault them for making all their records with Albini from now on?

Everything else, I guess.Ghost Dad wrote:The guitar sounded awesome, why the hate?
You couldn't be further from the truth my friend. That album's production is fucking stellar.altars of radness wrote:Everything else, I guess.Ghost Dad wrote:The guitar sounded awesome, why the hate?
Whatevs, dude. It sounds pretty average to me. The drums sound totally ordinary, the vocals get boring after about thirty seconds and I don't think their slow parts were very good back then. I liked the next couple records way more.hipster holocaust wrote:You couldn't be further from the truth my friend.

I can see the similarities but I highly doubt that's what they were "going for," especially when taking into account how Steve Austin completely raped their previous albumEEEOOOEEEOOOEEEOOO wrote:I think the sound on Jane Doe works for what they were going for, which is basically Today is the Day.
