does anyone else always worry that their next record is going to suck? they worry me, but i love em.

eh?!

Is there a release date for the next album?

oct 6th

us fall tour with experimental dental school.

it doesn't worry me because their last album largely sucked.

i don't care if it sucks or not. i fucking love deerhoof.

i love them too, i thought i had typed somewhere in this thread that i hope their new album is better than friend opportunity.

I think it will be.

Hanging out with experimental dental school some more will be good for them.

fucking great band.. e.d.s. that is....

i seriously hope deerhoofs new one is a vast improvement on friend, it has its moments but overall its possibly their poorest showing to date, i actually really like runners four........ give me milk man or apple o anyday tho!

runners four is my favorite... it's maybe a bit too long, but it has all their best songs on it!

i actually got pretty sick of 'jane doe loves me'. anyways, both are fantastic bands. gotta love quirky noise-y pop bands.

I have decided that i am now OFFICALLY a fan of the band DEERHOOF.
there.

..............................................end of thread?

what happened to deerhoof?

they were so inspired and then, bam! mediocrity.

elistist
i think they're actually getting better and better in the songwriting dept and at the same time getting less and less noisy, which is i think what i mean by mediocrity. It's not noisy or random enough for you, which i can understand.
love'em.

Hmm...i really like friend opportunity. anyways, offend maggie is finally starting to grow on me after being a major initial disappointment. what the fuck does the title mean anyway?

boring now, not noisy or whatever.

and their songs have become, in my opinion, less inspired. i wouldn't care if they did completely soft music from now on, as long as it's well written and well performed, but to me that's not the case.

runners four is hardly noisy and it's great.

offend maggie is better than friend opportunity, but not by much.

They're better songwriters now, that doesn't mean that their songs are better. If that makes sense. A band can technically get "better" but that doesn't make them as exciting to listen to.

Am I the only one who thinks the first song on Offend Maggie sounds like a Rolling Stones song...

Rolling Stones were the first thing that popped into my head when I first turned on the album.

I love Offend Maggie and I like Friend Opportunity. I think both are engaging/interesting records. I guess I like them more now that they're actually focusing on making music instead of trying to be weird for the sake of being weird... :p
