Hahahaha. The real question is, Has William Beckett hit puberty yet? Look at his cheeks. The guys has never shaved before in his life. Look at the Caper. Gnarly chops. That defines a musician.

Haha, he's like the male Hayley Williams, only more feminine looking.

It's truth that gnarly chops are the mark of a great musician. look at this man, Joey's like Wolverine or something, only even MORE bad-assed!

haha, this right here should be a "/thread"

I think we've established all that needs to be established here. I say, good work, fellows, jolly good work indeed!

[Anthony Lutz]

I think this album will be descent, nothing can be worse than Santi though.

[Chris Fallon]

I will bet you anything that due to disappointing sales of the "different" Santi, the label pressured this band to make their sound more marketable like that of their peers.

Take a look at that Cobra Starship-like album cover; the single is boring, overdubbed pop.

This band had a better idea going with Santi: heavier, edgier and now this? Eh, no thanks.

It took me until this post to figure out what band you people were talking about. What a lame album name.

[ThisIsSuchAPity]

It will definitely kick Santi's ass.


They played Forever Young today, as well as About A Girl, and they both rocked, if that's any indication.

Haha, seriously. I don't really have much else to say than "this album will probably suck".

[chipdip18]

$10 dollars says that they break up after this release. Which is a shame, Almost Here i liked.

[Klatzke]

I think this album will be descent, nothing can be worse than Santi though.

As he said.

[CellarGhosts]

I liked Almost Here too. But if they break up I won't be surprised.

[chipdip18]

I'm calling it.

[¡vivalasanti!]

i'm actually a giant fan of santi, but for personal reasons. about a girl and forever young sort of remind me of their ep's and of almost here. i like that they went a little off-course with santi (esp. since it was the first album mgc had a say in), but i am excited for fast times.

[EchoPark]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this album will suck donkey balls.

[Praetor]

lol at all of the people that are bitching at these guys for "selling out" and making pop tunes again. Hello? They always did. Santi didn't have balls, it didn't have grit, it was a pop record. Maybe a little more rock than their first one but it was still just as accessible and mainstream-sounding as their first.

[Chris Fallon]

There's a substantial difference between what they did on the first two albums and where they are going now. It's clear that the band has bought into label pressure here and has had to water down their already-accessible sound to sell records. The album cover with female legs on it; the neon font; the producers who have written half the FBR hit-list - The Academy Is was never a pop band in the way many FBR bands have made themselves out to be. They had more gusto on the previous efforts and instead of building upon the rawer and intensive sound Santi was going for, they've destroyed it all to break through into the TRL circuit.

[Praetor]

I guess I just don't really hear the rawness on Santi. I mean, it was the album to make them big, anyway (Big Mess On Our Hands was really well-received by the mainstream). And I guess I just don't see how a pop band that signs to FBR can ever really sell out - they've always wanted to make hits, as much gusto as you think that Almost Here and Santi have, it was clear that the goal was to make hits.

[ThisIsNotDan]

I'm gonna have to agree with Chris on this one. yeah, they were a pop band, but they weren't the CIWWAF-esque crap that all the kids love nowadays. they had a little more, and Santi actually showed a bit of experimentation with their sound as well. their fans weren't digging it, and now they sound like Boys Like Girls/etc

for santi they did have a different sound but i think maybe they tried to hard to make it that way.. and it actualy became more mainstream.
i dunno, thats just me. i really liked their eps and almost here.

Santi actually wasn't popular at all - that's why Atlantic has obviously rode the band's ass into watering down their sound. Butch Walker produced Santi and gave it's production a less-polished feel (listen to "Bulls In Brooklyn" and "Same Blood"), and the single did alright on Fuse but attempts at capturing the TRL audience failed.

The reason TAI has always been a tad different is because while they've always been a band out to make hits (what melody-driven band isn't?), they didn't have a Boys Like Girls/Cobra Starship/Hellogoodbye sound that spoke down to their audience. By hiring the producers who worked on Fast Times, they have completely gone that way with their sound - which is sad, but understandable in order for them to remain relevant. FBR/Atlantic have dumped a lot of money into them and need to see it pay off.

Lol I was just joking around with that. I haven't heard one Joey Cape song (aside from the Gimme Gimmes and I don't like them :shrug:). Jesus.

[CellarGhosts]

You know, it really didn't look like you were kidding. I know you like the first TAI album alot, so it came across as rather serious to me.

you do know that Me First And The Gimme Gimmes is a cover band, right?

Yeah, and when you insult him you insult America. And when you insult America you insult me. Do you want to cross that line? Do you really?

I didn't mean to offend america.

Haha, I dunno - I think John is just being weird. Unless he holds some kind of grudge against St. Louis for some reason or another.

Oh and it's good to know you were joking about the Joey Cape thing. I thought you might be but I could honestly not tell. I promise, his solo stuff and both Lagwagon and Bad Astronaut are much better than the Gimme Gimmes. I love them too, but they're just a fun band for me.

Well I mostly agree with you about music so I'll check 'em out.
What Lagwagon album(s) should I start with?

[versus_god]

Bad Astronaut - 12 Small Steps, One Giant Disappointment

My favorite 'Wagon records are Hoss and Resolve, but I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.

For a taste of the Caper's solo stuff: Joey Cape and Tony Sly - Acoustic (tracks 7-12, at least).

[Chris Fallon]

Glad it was a joke. I don't feel like banning anyone else anyway. It's getting exhausting.

[CellarGhosts]

Well, knowing your taste in music you might like Bad Astronaut more, but I dunno. If you check em both out, for BA look into Twelve Small Steps, One Giant Disappointment and for Lagwagon I think that Resolve and Blaze are their two best/most accessible.
