Sorry, I don't want to join yer club! LOL!
I love this album! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
It feels "forced" at times. The Wildhearts had a crazy skill of wandering into the craziest riffs, but it always flowed and somehow felt right. When Ginger does that now (and I am talking about the reformed Wildhearts also), it almost feels like he knows that is a "Ginger trademark" and he forces it to happen. It just doesn't have the flow anymore. Plus, IMO, he has become too "Beatle-like" with his vocals. I prefered the snarl of old, as opposed to the "over-harmonized" thing he does now. Granted, what hurts him for me is a comparison to what he has done in the past. He is still above many else, but knowing what I know about him, I am slightly disappointed. I will take the solo album over the Wildhearts Must Be Destroyed stuff though.
Bloody hell, Jase The Ace ain't getting any smaller, is he? He was pretty big by the time Wolfsbane finished, but now...jeezus!
Steve Danger was roadying? Travesty. Fucking amazing drummer, that bloke.
Oh, and does Random know he has a caterpillar stuck to his face?

I was surprised how well Random looks. He's lost about 2 stone.
I have grown to like this new album alot. I wasnt mad for it to begin with , although some stand out tracks, 10 flaws dowm. Man who..Yeah Yeah Yeah etc, but I have grown into it a lot.
maybe best as a storming single album rather than adouble but I love the NYC grand master flash-esque (is that a word?) 3rd track in.
However, I also think Wildhearts Must me Destroyed is a cracking album. My only disappointment was find out from Stidi that he didnt play the awsome double beater bass drum track on 'All up to me' the C**t double tracked it using Pro-Tools. Cheat!

<font size="4" face="Arial">I would rather listen to Destroyed over the new solo any day. I would also listen to "Break in the Weather" over it as well. Though the production quality on "Break" seems to be a little shotty at times.Quote:
