Re: Band of Skulls
Took a while for Sweet Sour to grow on me enough that I really like it now. This one will probably be the same, but then I've only had one half-assed listen at work and its kinda hard to hear much over the engines...

Re: Band of Skulls
I really like the album. I had it on repeat at work and listened about 5 or 6 times. It got better each time.I Ate The Walrus wrote:How do we feel about the new album skulls fans?
Only had 3 listens and my first impression in regards to music rarely counts (most of my favourite albums and bands took a while to sink in). But right now I prefer their first two efforts, though I think these songs are going to kill it live.

Re: Band of Skulls
The first half is just as good as the material on the first album but it goes a little downhill from there. I've only heard it once all the way through and I like it better than Sweet Sour but its not as good as BDDFH.

Re: Band of Skulls
It will be tough to put out another album that is comparable to their first album. I compare everything they put out to that album too, but this album is still really solid.AJ123 wrote:The first half is just as good as the material on the first album but it goes a little downhill from there.

I can't stop listening to 'i guess i know you fairly well'
That is a killer tune. I think this album is just as good as the first 2. And now off to Zurich to see them live!

Ya, that is a great song. I also really like Hoochie Coochie. It is so up beat and catchy. Heaven's Key is also realyl good, although much slower of a song.chrono_1980 wrote:I can't stop listening to 'i guess i know you fairly well'

I am going to see them in Toronto and Detroit, but Zurich would be incredible!! Lucky lucky man!!

Re: Band of Skulls
I still haven't gotten the record but so far my favorites are "Brothers and Sisters" and "Nightmares"
