as far as i know everything but "fuck" can be used on the radio as long as it is just a part of the lyric and not some centerpiece in the song.

They're so inconsistent over here - they'll blank out the 'bitch' in 99 Problems but have no problems playing the Meredith Brooks song totally uncensored.

Anyone else really excited about the accoustic tracks and the studio version of Big City Life?

*raises hand*

that's what i'm mostly excited about, i was so disapointed yesterday. I work at CD Plus now as well as the pool, and i was under the impression that Matt Good's album came out around the same time as OLP's, so i was expecting to have it in our backroom sometime this week. But i looked it up and it says it comes out on September 20th, not August 30th, damn where did i get that idea?

you know, i forgot how great LOTGA was

I've never been a fan of LOTGA. I think it's probably his worst work. Mind you I'm a huge fan of his voice and on LOTGA he didn't use it quite like he did on future albums.

Come on now, though:

Vermillion, The War Is Over, Symbolistic White Walls

These songs are just brilliant!

very true.


i think Matt peaked vocally somewhere between Raygun and Loser Anthems

Avalanche and AOB are by far the best albums in terms of his use of vocals. They are far more prominent on those albums than any others. Sure there's the odd song on the others, but each song is symphonic on those two albums

Jim speaks the truth.

i think he was a lot more ambitious on those 2 i'll agree, but i think the having the vocals so singled out on some tracks was a mistake, sometimes he tries but doesn't succeed at what he's going for. I of course still love Matt's voice but i stick to what i said earlier, listen to BM it's so perfect, not strained at all but still goes places older matt stuff wouldn't.

What do you guys think is his vocally weakest? for me it's White Light, but that one was intentionally underproduced and supposed to sound dirty so yeah.

i dont have all mg albums and eps... so i dont know...
*ducks*

i need AoB.

audio of being is pretty decent, especially truffile pigs and anti-pop

but i didnt' like his latest, white light rock and roll review.

i'm currently singing and playing along to Primetime, and Apparitions, i love some of Matt's stuff because it's not that vocally demanding. I can play it on guitar and sing along and actually sound good. At least in my head.

anyone else find that?

matts voice has sounded much better since he quit smoking (after beautiful midnight) as much as i don't care for audio of being, it sounds great vocally. if you compare pre AOB to post AOB you will notice a difference. and anyone who saw him live on the avalanche tour knows that he isn't just protooling it up like a lot of vocalists these days. he can actually hit those notes live

Definately. But the key is that even though his vocals are easier, they still sound amazing.

While We Were Hunting Rabbits
Advertising On Police Cars
Blue Skies Over Bad Lands

Are probably his three best vocal wise, in my mind
