Currently listening to The Manic Street Preachers - Futurology.
It is a wonderful album. It's a bit of a tired cliche but this really is their 'Berlin'. Take a look at their 23 minute sampler which has some familiar design elements that make me kind of nostalgic for old Primal Scream and even Year Zero in some cases.
Not quite on the level of Darker Handcraft, which is to be expected having lost Stephen Lacour and Chris Maggio.. BUT
this shit is still sooo sooo good.
So we FINALLY listened to Yeezus and GOT DAMN!
It is fucking Jaw Dropping Awesome!
What a shocking and pleasant surprise.
i thought i was gonna laff at it and turn it off.
I wasn't sure about this, after hearing The Chariot, but fuck.. this record is amazing.. I think I'll just trust that Josh Scogin knows what he's doing from now on..
I kept hearing the Sisters had been performing new songs on and off over the past decade plus but could never really muster up the energy to go hunt them down. This is a decentish live fan compilation of post Vision Thing stuff, sound quality ranging from good to average. I really wish Andrew still had his pipes live, and that the older ones written with Adam Pearson could get some sort of recording and release, against all odds. A lot of the songs here are better than a fair amount of VT's tracklist.
It's really strange, what the Sisters evolved into. Some of it sounds like KMFDM in their golden days.
