Couldn’t agree more with what you said. I saw their now legendary set at Bonnaroo a few weeks ago and needless to say it blew me away.

great review, keep up the good work!

I think it is a pretty good comparison. Yes they are different musically, but in terms of their evolution, they are very similar. Both bands like to reinvent their styles and try new things. I personally like MMJ better because Radiohead is a little darker, but not in a bad way. They are both excellent bands and are leagues ahead of any other band out right now.

comparing Radiohead and MMJ makes no sense. They’re two different things, born in two different musical humus, and evolving in different ways. I like them both, but Radiohead evolution is far beyond what Jim & Co. could do. Just compare Ok Computer/Kid A and Rainbow. Then try to do the same with At Dawn/Z and this Evil Urges. Do you still think the comparison makes sense?

This album is definitely not crap. In actuality, they just proved they have no ceiling at all; variety of sound, Jim James’ vocal ability, all of it is limitless for me at this point. The only other band of this era I would say that about is Radiohead.

I agree with you simeone that everyone has different tastes in music. I just disagree with the derogatory way you described the album such as saying it is “pure shit.” And yes the album art is horrible.

hey Ben never heard about something called “personal tastes”? I’m not trying to change your point of view on this, is just it’s shocking for me THAT sudden change in sounds and song structure. If you like it better for you, i would like to enjoy it too. And you don’t know how i would.

Everybody needs to just dismiss what simeone wrote. This album is great.
