How's the new album? I thought the first EP was but the Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes full length left this reviewer cold I'm desperately looking for a good new rock album - is this ? oh and is it me but is the Vaughan Oliverart direction ?

    I thought the Young Liars EP was a lot stronger than the debut album. I love that acapella version of Mr. Grieves by the Pixies.

    I LOVE THE NEW ALBUM!!



    Awesome... The drum patterns are really intersting. i was a little put off by the 1st full length too after the EP.

    This will probably get top spot for best of 2006 by the indie media.

    heres a pretty good review with david andrew sitek
    http://remixmag.com/artists/remix_smoke/index.html
    ???I smoke about ?? of a pound of weed a month, and I exceeded that for this record,??? Sitek says with a laugh. ???There were moments, like on ???Tonight,??? when I was just lying on the floor, stoned with headphones on, tampering with the Pioneer ??-inch reel-to-reel. I took sounds from the Pioneer that we use for slapback and put them back to the mix. I come off the record head, and it is hardwired so the play head goes right to a ??-inch jack so we can run it into Pro Tools. Most of the music that I like was made on dope. There is no way I could play a song back to myself 3,000 times unless I was stoned. I don't ever want to repeat myself, so I try to be not too conscious of the process.???

    ???Sitting in my underwear doing bong hits is how I get a mix to gel,???
    im guilty of this too. haha

    Return to cookie Mountain is the only rock album i have copped this year.
    I was convinced after seeing footage of them playing Wolf like me live.
    Anyone reccommend any other bands?

    I'll cosign. Return to Cookie Mountain is dope - they got a drummer for this album - helps quite a bit.

    Other rock albums I'm feeling:
    Black Angels - Passover
    Comets On Fire - Avatar
    Mars Volta - Amputechture

    A bunch of people have dogged on their 1st lp, but that record was MY SHIT for
    quite a while. Best rock album to come along in a real long while IMO.
