I don't either.
I mean they didnt radically alter it live or anything, I mean they certainly seemed fond of rather rippped songs live (not complaining)
I honestly think Thurston just kind of says things sometimes, he seems like he can be a bit absent minded at times.

jesus!! SYFox your cat is weird!!!...he's possessed!!!

yep, thurston says even that their last five songs (he means rather ripped i think) was compromised with label. so yeah it'll be loud album now!

yes I agree. or maybe he said something which was understood wrong from the journalism...wouldnt be the first time in the history of music :) but again no rushin against the RR, I like reading it from time to time

He's POKE-pileptic-MON

Actually I would be very happy with something that is kind of like the first ep.
That is my second favorite of their stuff and I've been listening to it alot lately.

yes, it's fuckin' rolling stone man! :D

haha same here. Be carefuul though, such talk can get ya hurt round these parts.

i'm starting to get excited about this new album. Spring is too long away...

Eh it goes pretty quick if you don't think about it too much..

dont care about that. I like to read it from time to time, not that I instantly believe everything innit

i love the first ep to, i play all the songs in my bass, and i use it to warm up my hands

hell yeah too long..... and after 3 years from last rather ripped album. expectations will be big :cool:

im with you guys on this one, some stuff like the first ep would be awesome. but ill listen to anything SY put out, they can shit on a disc and id probably like it.

Basically now they just answer to their fanbase, they are done with the music community as a whole and they probably know this, so hopefully the music will reflect this.

The way I see it, SY knew their contract would expire with Geffen, so I think they thought Rather Ripped was their last attempt at reaching the mainstream; so they released a record with a commercial sound, and left it to Geffen and their major label capabilities to 'get it out there' (which, lets face it they didn't do). So yeah, now they're an indie band again, I would expect a rawer, louder and looser sound. Hooray!

I don't agree with Thurston the last five records were compromised, I mean NYC g+f and Thousand Leaves have some of the downright weirdest tracks the band has ever produced. Though Rather Ripped and Nurse did feel a little like label pleasers, this was not completely the case.

fucking a sweeeeeeeet! bout damn time. :)

goofin'

they should just go thru ecstatic peace or smells like. you'd think it'd be easier that way
