Phil Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Single track is great. Love that all my favorite rock acts from the 90's are back and producing great music again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Album is awesome. Fully recommend to any old Filter fans. Very old school approach to the record. This is just a straight up rock and roll album. :m: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just a straight up rock and roll album. :m: Awesome is an overstatement. Its okay. Feels like I'd listen to it once or twice and not look back. No song they release will come close to "Hey man, nice shot"....now that song was/is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Obviously, but I don't buy into arguments like that. That like saying "no Metallica song will ever compare to 'Master of Puppets'" — um, duh, but why should that preclude the band from continuing to record songs/records? Everyone has their peak, and for Filter 'Short Bus' was undoubtedly their best record, but this one is a throwback and reminds me a ton of 'Short Bus' in the first place. Awesome might be an overstatement for you, but it isn't for me. I'll definitely be rocking this one all summer, same with the new Alice in Chains.

FleshistheFever Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 First, Metallica and Filter shouldnt be in the same conversation. Yes, they both make music but thats about as far as a discussion can go involving the two. Metallica came out with jam after jam after jam for about 10 years straight, '83-'93....then they hit a wall. Secondly, Alice in Chains isnt really Alice in Chains without loads of heroin and Layne Staley. Just like Sublime isnt Sublime without Bradley Noel. That rhymed. Yes, its awesome that Filter still has a desire to make music but the cd itself isnt really awesome by any stretch. Sorry, brah. I'd like to agree with you b/c you seem to have decent taste in music but awesome is strrrrretching it. Filter has released a few solid tracks, everything else they've done is just meh. Kinda like this album. To each his own, right? No hard feelings. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 That's fine, dude. I think it's great. Total throwback to the Short Bus era. This'll be spinning in my collection all summer, right along side The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here and Hesitation Marks. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamiroquai is gonna come back in a big fucking way, I can smell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 Nah, was never a Daft Punk or Jamiroquai fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FleshistheFever Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I wasnt a Daft Punk fan either. Their new album is groovy though. Give it a whirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I'm just stunned that Filter's still around. I legit thought they fell off the face of the earth after "Take a Picture". For me, this album is straight up necromancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYR2711 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 They broke up for a while, or went on hiatus as they like to say. Some of the members were in the band Talk Show. A lot of the bands from the 90's are starting to put out music again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 The more I listen, the more I love it. Favorite tracks, far and away — "We Hate It When You Get What You Want" (which should have been the first single) and "Take That Knife Out of My Back". "We Hate It..." is the type of song I can hear on a dozen different major motion picture soundtracks with ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
