^yeah that song is great! really getting excited.
i liked some of the dirges, but i think they went to the well too many times on hope for men...plus the song about the guy who's like a star wars/comic dork and the jogger were kinda just the same idea, listing off "stuff"....still about half that album rips hard.

like "Hope For Men" tried to be emotionless. just this boring album about scrapbooking and jogging and shit. To wit:
"Mainly we just wanted to bludgeon the listener with dull, monotonous droning rock music that just sucks the energy out of you, the musical equivalent to watching a toilet flush.”
And now they have balls, and play like they give a shit, and are awesome. The end.

Hope For Men was like a whole album of "Sex Bomb Baby" and this is like a whole album "My War," take yer pic

they had plenty of "balls" on shallow. maybe more so. and if there's one band that makes a high art of not giving a shit at the moment, it's these guys. for chrissakes one song on the new one repeats "but i don't bother" about 52,000 times. it's possible to write songs that have force and mass, but not much forward momentum, that still provoke a visceral response. it's also possible to get off on music that wants to oppress you, though i wouldn't make a habit of it.
also describing something as "a whole album of 'sex bomb baby'" as a negative does not really compute.

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.
― strongohulkingtonsghost, Saturday, 1 August 2009 14:32 (fourteen years ago) link
that's pretty good.
― kschoice (Whiney G. Weingarten), Saturday, 1 August 2009 15:10 (fourteen years ago) link
They're pretty funny and "Vegas" live. Singer is the Karen O of love handles.
Drummer lurched to his feet about 25 mins into set and puked on his kit and stage in a couple sickening spasms. Singer lectures, "We're called Pissed Jeans, not Vomited Stages!" They pressed on another 3 songs or so. That's entertainment!

i was there yesterday too.Jeans were good and funny, but TV Ghost weven more awesome!
― Zeno, Saturday, 3 October 2009 16:33 (fourteen years ago) link
I liked them; vocalist's hair made me think he was gonna break into "Rio."
― A Patch on Blazing Saddles (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 3 October 2009 16:37 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

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.
― Jamie_ATP, Friday, 22 January 2010 15:05 (fourteen years ago) link
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!

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
