Special Wishes. What every "comeback album" oughta be

Paul Ponzi, Monday, 23 April 2018 21:14 (seven years ago)

tempted to go with that as well but a relisten is required (and will be v enjoyable). great band.

Simon H., Monday, 23 April 2018 22:13 (seven years ago)

Life the best game for that face melting solo on the opener

after party for the apocalypse (Ross), Monday, 23 April 2018 22:52 (seven years ago)

They're all equally good. Even The Pleaser.

EZ Snappin, Monday, 23 April 2018 23:02 (seven years ago)

special wishes for me. work of art.

scott seward, Tuesday, 24 April 2018 01:53 (seven years ago)

a GREAT work of art i should say. so impressive to me. and really emotional as well. though i've never heard a bad album by them.

god the pleaser is such a rockin' album

flamenco drop (BradNelson), Tuesday, 24 April 2018 01:56 (seven years ago)

The Pleaser is the best stoner rock record nobody talks about.

EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 24 April 2018 02:14 (seven years ago)

my immediate first thought is "My Love is.." but looking at that options that entire catalog is pretty much unimpeachable. "The Pleaser" is a dark horse. Good number of songs off that album are on my gym workout mix!

also, creston spiers is one of the greatest lyricists of all time

My mama’s first love was
a vile ex-Marine,
but the blood and guts in her heart
could have washed Pilate’s hands clean.

Her lips were like an anvil
dropped from a cliff,
the fall had almost killed him,
and then that anvil hit.

“Your father’s love was like a lantern
lit on the brave dark ship,
and my love was like the sea,
surging for one taste of his wick.
And today, your thirteenth birthday,
I can see through these tears,
that, my son, you’ll be a soldier
before five more years.
Then your love will be the lantern
that guides your ship through the night.
Don’t forget the sea loves a soldier
who’s not afraid to die.”

Your love is like an anvil:
cold and black as the earth.
My love is like the hammer,
forging shapes of new life on your curves.
My mama told me,
when I was fresh from the womb,
“Boy you’ll be a soldier.
Judging by the size of my wound.”

Needs a vinyl reissue

Paul Ponzi, Tuesday, 24 April 2018 13:39 (seven years ago)

i'm working from home today and i've got the anthem dvds playing in the background

na (NA), Tuesday, 24 April 2018 14:30 (seven years ago)

great band
"life..." for me

nxd, Tuesday, 24 April 2018 14:32 (seven years ago)

i voted for "life..." as well. it was the first one i heard by them and remains a sentimental favorite. "death goes to the winner," "motown," and "roses" are all-time jams.

na (NA), Tuesday, 24 April 2018 14:35 (seven years ago)

Also, they had the best band shirts.

Western® with Bacon Flavor, Tuesday, 24 April 2018 17:35 (seven years ago)

nice, got a month to go back through and make a choice.

they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Tuesday, 24 April 2018 20:32 (seven years ago)

seems fair, except for the zeroes, such a great band

nxd, Wednesday, 23 May 2018 09:20 (seven years ago)

Thought The Pleaser would get a few votes

Paul Ponzi, Wednesday, 23 May 2018 13:23 (seven years ago)
