yes

atsonicpark 02.23.2009 08:34 AM

best band ever.

Derek 02.23.2009 08:44 AM

yes!

fugazifan 02.23.2009 08:45 AM

they are pretty good

atsonicpark 02.23.2009 08:48 AM

They are brilliant.

The complexity of the Magic Band, the absurd humor of Sun City Girls and Caroliner, and the melodic know-how that's beyond any other band I can even think of. Mixing folk, jazz, noise, pop, rock, and genres that haven't even been invented yet.

"Hornet's Heart", "Undertaker", and "Nipper" are 3 of the best songs ever written by any band, ever.

and hornets heart

me and my home slice where on acid at the beach (a horrible bleak day actually) recently and he had his ipod stereo there, so we would switch back and forth playing music for each other and he turned me onto os mutantes that day; and i showed him this album and the one with my pal the tortoise on it. long story short; he totally fell in love and preceded to buy everything by them the following day. i also showed him the monks which was crazy because the next day the documentary black monk time was playing at a local theater and who happened to show up to field some questions and talk? why eddie shaw; the original bassist. IT WAS A GREAT TIME!

atsonicpark 02.24.2009 07:40 AM

Yeah, everyone ends up falling in love with them hard, I've noticed. Most consistent band ever.

yes and i must thank you for bringing this particular album to my attention i had like 3 of their later albums but this is truly their masterpiece. do you know if they feel the same way?

TheMadcapLaughs 02.24.2009 11:23 AM

oh and btw have you seen this mr. atsonicpark

Derek 02.24.2009 01:30 PM

I'm sure he has. I'd love to see them live.

atsonicpark 02.25.2009 01:23 AM

Yeah, I saw that clip. It's amazing! Thanks anyway.

Sorry it took me so long to reply, I've been bed-ridden!

Derek 04.18.2009 06:31 PM

I've nearly heard everything this band have did and I really need to put them in my top 3 bands. I really fucking love Wormed By Leonard and the Admonishing the Bishops EP. All the other albums are amazing also. I like Mother of All Saints a lot more than before!

atsonicpark 04.18.2009 10:21 PM

Yeah they're great. Best "Rock" band ever, definitely.

BOB DINNERS AND LARRY NOODLES PRESENTS TUBBY TURNDER'S CELEBRITY AVALANCHE.. or whatever.. is seriously underrated.

How about "Nipper", man? the song about walking the dog? Shiiiiiiiiit.


"I should have went down to the store, but I waited too long."

Derek 04.19.2009 12:39 PM

I was about to note that Nipper was my favourite on the album. I love the way the music dictates the story also.

atsonicpark 04.19.2009 12:57 PM

It's one of the few songs that's ever made me laugh out loud (the line about "Sheeba struttin' her stuff" or whatever and the music changes to the sort of music that plays whenever Audrey is on screen in Twin Peaks). But it rocks too!

atsonicpark 04.21.2009 05:42 AM

Yeah Derek, so that i300e computer on the other soulseek.. the external hard drive crashed for it the same day I told you to get stuff off of there. But luckily Robe Flesh on the new slsk keeps getting on and he has a lot of my files on there. If you need something rare that I'm not sharing. Haha.

Agreed - I used to really hate it too. get past the surface and it's a really great album, but i needed something like lovelyville or mother get them before a could enjoy the falsetto stuff and whatnot.

chairman of the bored 05.05.2009 10:39 PM

REVIVAL!

sorry...i just got into this band because of this board. my favorite moment of theirs so far is the end of Triple X...that jam is the bees knees

Toxa 05.06.2009 03:35 AM

"Triple X" is probably my favorite song. it's awesome. banjo rules.
