This is probably the answer, and I wish a few more bands sounded like they were bloody enjoying themselves, mucking about, exploring what they could do, chasing a spider around the studio and sticking a fucked-up drum loop on top of it for 8.5 minutes...
And don't you mean 'some stupid Tool dough and some stupid Guns And Roses dough'? Seriously, the chances against that record being made increase exponentially when you take BOTH of 'em into account!
If you still get in touch with the other two, tell 'em I said 'Free Mars' (the title-track itself) is 'THE perfect 6-minute pop song'. 'Cos it is.

I like the fact that the members of Lusk played different instruments on practically every song, btw. 'membramophones', wtf?

I've played it loud, I've played it quiet. I've played it stoned, I've played it straight. I have even, as grimly fiendish suggests upthread, had a guy come over and tune my ears, heart and soul, but maybe because I wouldn't let him near my balls, this album remains duller than shit for me. Sorry.

I kinda understand the Ride comparisons more now - but more in the sense of "this is the way Ride *should* have gone instead of turning into Oasis Lite".
The only way it could possibly make me any happier would be to add girlie harmony vocals. But then it would be early Medicine. ;-)

---> I read an article where he talks about POD recording! Weird. I would never have thought that he was using some (in my mind) cheesy Line 6 piece to get that. It's a great interview though and he goes into a fair amount of detail about his sound.

I do, and I rather like this one. And I like what I've heard of the Goslings in particular, so schtum.
Arrived yesterday, already listened to it twice blasting out of my stereo system. It is that great. More later.

Skullflower? Dude, yes. And the last two Sunroof! records. Matthew Bower is a fucking genius.
Also, I think that the tone of the Jesu record is good, for what it is. It's going for a specific sound, and I think that it does a good job.
But I would have to agree that Skullflower is absolutely fucking radical. I love the blatant psych influence.

Check my AMG reviews dood. As they say. (I do agree that the large part of the appeal of Jesu is not that they're heavy shoegaze but Godflesh refined/redefined -- the lyrical refocus is key too.)

!!!!!!! Must get.
I liked the Jarboe album! You're right that it does go downhill after the first couple tracks, but "sinister weather channel music" is a pretty heavy claim.
