Earth: s/d, c/d?

First impressions are pretty great.

Really full sound. Multiple Carlson dubs

Power chord riffs

The Colour of Poison (sic: they use the British English spelling) is their most rock/"metal" piece in a long time

ah..... it's always good to see the first correct spelling of colour by a lolmerican of the day.

Given his obsession with English folklore perhaps unsurprising that he uses the British English spelling

sorry, I didn't mean that as shitty as it probably sounded!

Thought I was kinda over this band but overheard most of the new one in a record store last week and really liked what I heard. Maybe I still like Earth after all.

Yeah, the previous three albums didn't really click with me, but this new one is great

Just me and Duke - no one else? The more I listen to the new one, the more I like it. Refreshing to hear the undiluted Earth formula again.

It occurs to me that DC is an easy guy to take for granted. I mean, he invented this sound whole cloth, and it's such a distinctive, singular sound. I've been disappointed by almost everything after Hex (which I still love), including the solo stuff that I kept compulsively buying for some reason, but this new one has definitely reignited my interest in the band.

Does anyone know if he's still exclusively playing the Tele? I assumed Dylan was a Tele guy all the way but some of the guitar tones on this new album sound very thick and humbucker-y to me.

i liked primitive and howling a lot, if the new one's even better hell yeah

and deadly*

New one is good yes

wait it came out in may?!??! what have i been doing

Yeah I liked silent but deadly pretty well but have slept on this one thus far.

It didn't help that he nailed the aesthetic very early with the bees made honey and so the two angels albums were disappointing.
