is this the album that's coming out shortly?

I believe it's coming out early September. You've got some kind of advance-copy, Chris? Please elaborate: what's it like? New directions or involution?

i recently saw MMJ at Leeds festival in England. They were playing early afternoon on a small stage with a very little audience, but they were one of the best bands i saw all weekend. Which album would you recommend for a introduction to the band?

Matt, their debut, "the Tenessee Fire" is a beautiful, if lofi-sounding, album. Follow-up, "At Dawn", is great too & sounds much better, so that may the one to start with...

― willem (willem), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 10:44 (twenty-two years ago)

yes, I have an advance copy. Much more rockin than "At Dawn".

Oh and the thread title should read "Jacket". Now on tour the Ratpure and My Morning Jackey.

If you're looking for some songs to download before you buy and album may i reccommend "Come Closer" "Bermuda Highway" and "If it smashes down" i am sure other people have other faves but these are mine.

also "The Way That He Sings" and "Lowdown"

cheers, when saw them at the festival i was so tired, but they lifted my spirits for the whole day, they have quiet and edge live too.

We were discussing this on the other Jacket thread as well. I still think that the horns on Dancefloor are over the top (in the bad way). Mahgeetah is alright, but I really love some of the heartbreakers near the end (Just One Thing).

The "heartbreakers" was what initially turned me on to this band; their music has so much passion in it!

I was listening it to it last night, and it was the first time I ever thought to myself, "That would be a pretty good song to play at my funeral." This wasn't in a morbid way at all, it just had all the delicate soulfulness and thick reverb that puts everything in perspective.

― Dale the Titled (cprek), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 11:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I may come to eat my words on this one but I've been listening to It Still Moves off and on for the past few weeks and I find it, well, boring. I even have trouble listening to the entire album all the way through. I loved At Dawn and Tennesee Fire but this one just seems flat. It is more rockin' but I guess their rock songs just don't do it for me. And the slower ones here just aren't as good as on At Dawn. I don't dislike it but I just don't get the spark that I did off of the first ones. And this has nothing to do with them being on DMB's major label subsidiary. They certainly haven't compromised their sound at all (or length - I think it may be even longer than their first two?).

'it still moves' is most definitely a grower, not a shower... and live, they are about the most awesome rock band playing right now, totally inspirational.

I get to miss the live show in Boston on 9-16! I'll be on vacation! Damn it!

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 27 August 2003 10:34 (twenty-two years ago)

They'll be playing on a friday and saturday night in louisville during their tour. I'm going to one of those.

― Dale the Titled (cprek), Wednesday, 27 August 2003 10:50 (twenty-two years ago)

This Friday and Saturday?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 27 August 2003 12:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I've been listening to this all morning. Its got me hooked now, yep a grower.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 27 August 2003 13:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Nick, Louisville, Sept 26 + 27.

― Dale the Titled (cprek), Wednesday, 27 August 2003 13:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I really like the horns on "Dancefloors" (and another track too, I forget which), and the rest of the album is great too - I was worried they were going to do a whole set of "Honest Man"-style jams (yuck!) and luckily there's not even one track like that. Standouts: "Run Thru", "Golden", "Just One Thing".

one month passes...

Their live show Sat. in Louisville was fantastic as expected. This thread didn't get enough attention...
