Since it's probably the best rock record that's going to come out this year: Death (detroit proto punk not metal band) - "...For The Whole World To See" Thread

that's the first thing I thought of when I heard that track

my fav track on the album

holy shit this whole thing is fucking awesome

like just rocked out in my living room to politicians in my eyes

think i'm gonna go drive around with this playin realllllllllllll loud

yeah, I love that song a little bit I think

the prog vibe in "politicians" also remind me of the great 70's dutch bands:earth & fire and shocking blue

There's no way this holds up to "a good Wipers album" (which I'll take to mean any of the first three). It's an impressive, even amazing artifact for its time, but the songwriting isn't to the level of the early Wipers. Find me something by Death that's as fiercely articulate as "Telepathic Love" or "Tragedy" and then we'll talk.

Let The World Turn def has a bit of Love-y feel to it

Yeah it's totally something off Forever Changes but punked up a lot. There's an element of 'turn everything up loud, throw a load of shit against the wall and see what sticks' about this album, and that it's appeal. Like a band trying to work out the rules of punk and metal before either existed, and the bits that are outside those rules are some of the most enjoyable.

I guess it depends how you feel about the wipers... it's not better than a great wipers album like youth of america but I definitely enjoy the death album more than is this real? (feel free to insert whatever wipers album you don't think represents their pinnacle)

oh man there isn't much I can imagine liking in this vein more than Is This Real but then again that record took a beating in the Wipers poll. I think the fact that you would prefer it says a lot about the strength of the record. I've only heard the single, need to hear the whole thing.

Holy fuck I just listened to Politicians In My Eyes three times in a row on that blog link way upthread. I need this.

I totally second the Sonics Rendezvous Band recommendation.

Also recommended....
SUCK - The Whip

Radio Birdman, in a more direct and straight down the barrel sorta way?

The bassist and drummer are now the leaders of a reggae band called Lambsbread
anyone heard?

or The 4th Movement?

definitely hear a lot of Arthur Lee in the vocal delivery/lyrics here -- going to go ahead and assume Death were/are fans ...

haven't been able to find this on vinyl :(

I found it in the meantime, but I did notice that keith fullerton whitman's store seems to have the lp in stock:

hell jah thx dude!

really diggin this 4th movement shit

it's so....religious!

just got asked to turn this down :-/

I turned it a level higher and returned the devil's fire

iirc

i don't love this record--i find myself skipping to the last two tracks pretty frequently-- but i'm pretty impressed with it overall.

a couple months ago I went to the cinema by myself and i listened to this on my headphones walking there. That was the beginning of the summer as far as I was concerned.

so yeah, it's been a minute since i listened to the 4th movement stuff (several years probably), but the heavier songs could definitely be what Death would've done had they lasted into the 80s. i like when they just cut loose like they forgot about jesus...

bought this on vinyl today after downloading it

playin some concerts! - http://www.catbirdseat.org/archives/1425.php

sweet, but until they book NYC, im out of luck

that is so cool! good luck Detroit dudes.

woah that's exciting

exciting, though i'm kinda skeptical about the awesomeness possibility considering their age, the time that passed, the fact that they didny play much music all that time and the music that they did played is mediocre at best.
still, who knows, it might be great after all

mediocre at best.
GTFO

I was gonna say

Why are you excited if you don't think they're very good?

or is this the 'sarcasm' as used by today's teens

he's talking about the music they've been involved with since the demise of Death i think.

ah yes I see. Not that I've heard Lambsbread (the noise band or the reggae band)

true.i like Death. talking bout 4th movement and the reggae band that followed
xpost

"today's teens"
lol

Apols for telling you to GTFO :)

it must be weird for these guys to play this kind of music again! like up until a little while ago they probably considered it juvenilia -- but who knows, maybe they can get their energy up and rock the hell out of it.

like The Stooges did?

haha, yes

now thats a sarcasm :)

so what's 4th movement like

rockin w/jesus
