A bit off topic, but what number album do you make this?
I'm never sure whether to count SYRs, The Whitey album etc. etc.

I heard that its 6 Thurston, 5 Kim, and 1 Lee, so I really sure!

What I'm wondering is the official release date (6th or 13th).

well, i personally find it unfortunate that lee only gets one song per album, he has such a beautiful voice, and his songs are always great

I agree. However, If his songs were as frequent as Kim and Thurston maybe they would seem less significant and not such a highlight on each record...

Does anyone know why Lee sings so much less? I always assumed because he wrote less lyrically. I doubt the rest of the band bully him or anything.

For chrissakes, you can't judge an album by its name. So STOP it. Listen to the 5 song acoustic set. Do you believe in rapture? is a great track with ONE guitar. I can't wait to see where they take it with the full band.

krastian · 03.21.2006, 06:09 PM

I like the title.

Soundtrax · 03.21.2006, 06:14 PM

by the way, where do i find the 5 songs acoustic set you all talk about?

thanks

I am in the same situation...

Didn't someone post an interview (on the old message board) that Lee was releasing a "singer-songwriter" solo album? Please tell me I didn't make this up!

As for Rather Ripped, I imagine it might sound a bit like Experimental Jet Set, with shorter, more basic songs rather than big epics..

ever notice how usually the most highly acclaimed SY records have more than one lee song on them (Washing Machine, Sister,Daydream Nation). It's more than just a coincidence.

I am honestly ready to not expect anything. It's much better that way so I can make a decision based on what I think, not the hype I've heard or my mind tricking me with expectations.

That might be why I love all SY albums so much...

That said, I actually prefer the title "Do you believe in rapture?". Why did you guys change it?

Ah whatever. As long as you stop in providence when you tour.

from what's been said by the band, none

greenlight · 03.23.2006, 07:44 AM

I really like the title
don't think expecting something what you think of is a good idea
nurse was sooo good live (what i could hear and see from the last tour)
i mean sy is very good live band now and i can't wait to hear & see new material performed live.

dirty bunny · 03.23.2006, 12:44 PM

I can't say I like the title, but maybe I'll change my mind after I hear it. I wonder how they've changed the songs they did from the flywheel gig and how they'll sound. I don't want to hear it in its entirety until I have it in my hot little hands.
