Mojo - yes that's the gist of the majority of the reviews I read prior to picking up. That and that it's the band's second best LP after Holy Bible. I might agree with that too but think the two most recent LP's now might share that place too.
(Even the band itself has stated it put some crap on GT that would have been better left off.) Funny most of our song preferences are polarized with each other's. My ranks: Motorcycle: 5 star You Love Us: 4 Love's Sweet Exile: 4 Little Babynothing: 4 Stay Beautiful: 4 Spectators of Suicide: 4 Repeat UK: 3.5 Damn Dog: 3.5 Methodone Pretty: 3.5 Slash n Burn: 3 Natwest: 3 Repeat U.S.: 3 So Dead: 3 Born to End: 2 InventedDisease: 2 Condemned: 2 Tennessee: 1 Crucifix: 1 You seem to like the more slasher/GnR influenced tracks. To me, Born to End is mostly good enough but a) very derivative and just seems a little less than authentic, and b) I can't get past the title being similar to the Heartbreakers' Born to Lose (though the songs and their subject matters are very different), and lastly, c) the phrasing of the "Nagaski Dolls R Burning/Beg For Mercy Pray for War" bit being just like Alice Cooper's "no More Pencils..." brings it down. But it *is* a nice riff through the verses and bridge. And to me Condemned by Rock n Roll becomes almost a bit of a joke at times with the GnR/Slash guitar section in the middle and the Lou Reed solo live Sweet Jane style outtro in the major key as the epic outtro and all. So we agree it's a pretty damn good record but for completely different reasons. Last edited by half drag; 07-23-2009 at 08:36 AM. Reason: spellin |

Can't remember when I last listened to Generation Terrorists though. I do recall liking it though, particularly Little Baby Nothing (and its wonderful intro which they cut off the single edit I had previously). |

Purchased three top notch albums on Amazon last night
Blues Walking Like A Man is Rory Block's tribute album to blues master Son House and it's a scorcher. Downbeat the Ruler, is a collection of killer reggae instrumental cuts from the glory days of Studio One. I also purchased Rising Sun the first album by the legedary New Orleans singer Big Chief Monk Boudreaux. For those of you who haven't seen Big Chief's live performances at Mardi Gras, you're in for a treat if you watch the video of him performing his version of Meet de Boys on the Battlefront with his crew of Indians and the Golden Eagle band. Big Chief Monk rivals Screamin' Jay Hawkins in his taste for wild stage costumes.
