I liked them; vocalist's hair made me think he was gonna break into "Rio."

they sound like The Birthday Party - Hee Haw era, and thats a great compliment.

jeans & tv ghost = a wonderful bill, wish they would make it over to the uk

I did not arrive til 10:30, saw one song of Vee Dee.

I liked that Guinea Worms song on Worlds Lousy vol 8 more before I heard the Great Plains song "Death of A Thought Returns."It's basically a note for note ripoff with different lyrics. It's still a cool song, but not as cool as I once thought.

or to put it in terms whiney might better understand: think of it as "break stuff" for people who want to skip the middleman and get right to the self-abasement and self-disgust that's pooling under the i-hate-everybody attitude. with appropriate sonics to match.

Just listened to it again after gorging on it for a review. I'm thinking it's my fav of the year now, displacing Future of the Left.

should have placed higher in a lot more end of year polls. anyone else get the bonus live CD by preordering through subpop? its a recording of their set at the subpop20 event, really good. hope they're back over in europe soon as i miss them.

It placed at #23 in the ilx metal poll.

^^^ this.
pretty sure this album stopped me from drinking a fifth of bathtub gin and driving into a brick wall several times during the clusterfuck that was 2009.

hahaha
I like this album but it's nowhere near "Shallow." lotta people seem to think the opposite though
"Dream Smotherer" is pretty killer
― dmr, Saturday, 23 January 2010 04:51 (fourteen years ago) link
this should have placed higher on pazz and jop, rock critics are dumbasses shocker
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 23 January 2010 05:25 (fourteen years ago) link
I only did five records for pazz and jop to try to pump this record (and four others) up!

the best current live rock band I've seen, for two years running now. nobody can touch them.
― Stormy Davis, Thursday, 15 April 2010 06:18 (fourteen years ago) link
although maybe I missed a wicked 'Dirty Projectors' show in the interim or something, wouldn't know
― Stormy Davis, Thursday, 15 April 2010 06:19 (fourteen years ago) link
Dirty Projectors were great live when i saw them last fall
what Pissed Jeans record is better, Stormy?
― ksh, Thursday, 15 April 2010 06:31 (fourteen years ago) link
For me, and bear in mind that these are ranked in the spirit of narcissism of small differences: Hope For Men, then King Of Jeans, then Shallow
― neden magnet (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 15 April 2010 06:41 (fourteen years ago) link
ksh, never heard heard Dirty Projectors, that's the whole reason why I wrote 'I wouldn't know'! If you think they are better than Pissed Jeans -- either Live or on record, sure, tell me to check'em out.
Pissed Jeans just continue to be a beautiful, ugly, stupid force.
can't quite think of anyone like them. altho I admit I'm not familiar w/ the bands the get namechecked on the 'nu-pigfuck' thread..
― Stormy Davis, Thursday, 15 April 2010 06:47 (fourteen years ago) link
point being that -- my IMPRESSION -- is that 'Dirty Projectors' -- whoever the heck they are, got a lot of corporate crit bleating. by losers who would never set foot in a bar where Pissed Jeans plays. Of course, you see, most of my fave records are by old jazz dudes like Fred Anderson or whatever, so they ain't gonna get nominated for any awards either. So shooting potshots at 'darlings' like "Dirty Projectors" = just a bit of fun, i'm sure you will recover
― Stormy Davis, Thursday, 15 April 2010 06:50 (fourteen years ago) link
If Dirty Projectors are all that, I'd love to hear one or two sentences to convince me to check 'em out!
― Stormy Davis, Thursday, 15 April 2010 06:51 (fourteen years ago) link
I mean, I don't read 'Pazz & Jop' comments or 1000 post ILX threads anymore, work won't allow it, but fuck -- if DP actually rule I would love to be sold on it. can never get enough great music..
― Stormy Davis, Thursday, 15 April 2010 06:53 (fourteen years ago) link
in any case, I sync up with Mencap. I still think that 'Hope For Men' is the best Pissed Jeans record
― Stormy Davis, Thursday, 15 April 2010 06:55 (fourteen years ago) link
new one is cool, but I actually do kinda *miss* the weirdness and skits that were stuck into HFM
― Stormy Davis, Thursday, 15 April 2010 06:56 (fourteen years ago) link
yes. totally great live. think the jesus lizard reunion was the only other time i've been as impressed with a live band in the past few years. their records are all solid, really. could making a case for any of them being the best.
― circa1916, Thursday, 15 April 2010 07:20 (fourteen years ago) link
ksh i would strongly recommend getting "king of jeans" first. arguably equal to "hope for men" in greatness but it's their most accessible fer sher. "hope for men" is them pounding riffs into the ground endlessly with no release or sense of direction and "king of jeans" is them embracing release and rocking out in a more traditional sense. i only really appreciated "hope for men" after having heard/loved "king of jeans". hands down best rock band in the world going right now though.
