So remember this album? Fazer and what not. I was reminded of it on an ILE thread about Freshman yr at college. I loved it, would love to hear it again to be sure...but I'll say classic.

Would listen to this non-stop when it was brand new. For people who wanted to like Helmet, but wished they sounded a little more like Fugazi.

Possible classic (may require review)

Classic. Could only be bettered with the inclusion of their cover of "How Soon Is Now." Quicksand's ascendency to this pinnacle pretty much destroyed hardcore. Seriously. After this record got big all the hardcore kids started dressing more nicely and getting those earrings that put big holes in your earlobes. I just couldn't understand it. Then emocore happened. Ugh. I will now just sit in my office and make old man moaning noises.

you know, that cover was included on the uk pressing of the cd. i had this. played it 3 times and traded it. so i guess i thought Dud at the time. do i regret getting rid now. yup. surely do.

Yeah, my copy is a dubbed cassette. I'd like to get that shit in a form I can actually listen to nowadays. Sounds like I should look for the UK version.

I'd never heard (nor was I even aware of) this version of "How Soon is Now?" until the Smiths cover song thread a couple weeks ago. Just downloaded it actually. During the first listen, I wasn't sure if I liked it much. Second listen, I'm convinced it's fucking grand!

Crap. I need to get my paws on that track. Into the cassette crates I go.

i've heard the "how soon is now" cover once and i really didn't like it. maybe i will re-listen once i get the chance.

oh,
classic btw.

ditto for manic compression.

Oh yeah. Fuck yeah. Probably the most influential band at my high school. Not that Quicksand went to my high school, but the guys in bands who wanted to sound like them did.

really¿ you went to a cool high school.

― dysøn (dyson), Wednesday, 29 September 2004 17:32 (8 years ago) Permalink

Yes, I did.

1 year passes...

Listened to a little bit of Slip on the train on the way into work this morning. It still sounds as good as when I first heard it. Definitely a classic album from a great band.

Total classic. The reason why I started a posthardcore band.

Manic Compression is also really good.

"Manic Compression is also really good"

Amen. I always thought that it was a pretty underrated album, even by a lot of serious fans of the band.

Saw 'em live open for the Offspring in 1995 -- and I had a photo pass so I was right up front. Fairly intense.

They played "Fazer" on Jimmy Fallon last night, and it sounds fucking stellar.
