Bob Dylan & The Band

Hey I like Celebration Florida! It's definitely different than their other stuff but it's not bad by any means. All bands like to experiment with their sound once in a while.

Well, the Uncut music magazine never stops lauding them. And all the praise is justified for sure

These guys have always gotten tepid reviews. I've listened to their music for years, seen them live many times, I've met them. I think they're just too real for the entitled little shits at pitchfork and the like.

damn good...

You shouldn't. Even just for the sake of "River Jordan". But yes, glad to hear them doing stuff like this again!

God Bless You Amigo is exactly what I wanted from this band-- back to their roots! [2] Let's just forget Celebration Florida ever happened.

God Bless You Amigo is exactly what I wanted from this band-- back to their roots! Fantastic release. Love these guys!

They have their own label and used to record in their own chicken coop - indie enough for you?

How's this indie?

"The barber he's all smiles, he's from the British isles, but his razor's sharp as hell and he knows it well. He's driving to the docks, from an office in the Bronx, he could make your life a living hell." Run Chicken Run!

Great show last Sat. in Groningen. It looks like I have another favorite band!

For anyone interested, I am selling 2 tickets for the KOKO gig. Please message me!

Huge man l0ve for The Felice Brothers! Hope to experience them playing live next week . The new-est album was brave, but pretty feckin' awesome..

I just want to deter anyone from downing the Felice Brothers. Before doing so, just make sure you FUCK OFF!

Well, all of them are

The new album is mesmerizing. Period.

COME TO SPAIN

It's not surprising at all, but that doesn't mean it's a bad album. I love the shit out of it.

Hmmm...the new songs are slipping off the top tracks fast and the older ones are moving back up. I wonder why...

any criticism of the album should be reserved until you've seen the songs live. true to felice form, the songs are brilliant live. its the only way to get a feel for them.

Agree with Leavin -- Obviously, not all changes in musical style are bad (Dylan, the Beatles, Stones, etc etc), and it would be stupid to suggest otherwise. But it is equally nonsensical to claim that all changes are good, and any criticism of a crappy album is inherently unjust just because it is different from previous efforts

It's not the change in style at all, it's just as easy to blame peoples reaction on that, it's just not a very good album QUALITY wise, nothing to do with style...

It always irks me how people complain whenever a band makes a change in style. It's like people expect for every album to sound exactly the same, but what would be the fun in that? Bands experiment and bands evolve. Some of the greatest artists are respected for just that reason. (take Beck, for example) I think if more people were to try and listen to the new album without expecting it to sound like anything else, they'd really like it. Unfortunately that is really hard to do. At least they may gain some new fans from it.

Two listens in is early to comment but I have to say new album is currently a HUGE disappointment, I love s/t and Arizona and enjoy Yonder & Mix Tape but this just seems a badly delivered experiment to me...

Well, four songs from the new album are just like something from "Mix Tape" or "Yonder is the Clock", so it seems like some people didn't even bother to listen it through...

bathroom_window is right.

I gave the new album a listen with an open mind. Ponzi disappointed me on a first listen but I really love Fire in the Pageant. The songs don't lack soul, there's plenty there.

Totally blows away, perhaps.

New album totally blows. Lacks all of the soul and power of their other work... the most depressing bit is that underneath all the crap they buried the songs under you can hear the seed for what could have been moving folk balladry.

Have you listened to "Tonight at the Arizona"? I think it's their best along with the s/t. More folky and down-to-earth.

Really liked the self-titled and Yonder is the Clock, but not much else. The new album is more expansive stylistically, but, as many said below, lacks the soul and passion that their previous records possessed.

Why are 1,463,972 plays not enough to generate similar artist recommendations? That makes no sense at all.
