so after a couple of listens, this is pretty good, much better than kevin drew's album. i think drew's album had standout tracks and a lot of fluff, this is much more consistent. reminiscent of earlier bss, more focused.
link is in the leak/ysi thread

i completely agree with your assessment. what were kevin drew's stand outs to you?

gang bang suicide and frightening lives immediately stood out. safety bricks and big love are also pretty good.

ive been listening to the kevin drew record more recently and its a lot better then i last remembered, more solid songs on there than i gave it credit for. tbtf, fucked up kid, bodhi sappy weekend, all pretty good as well. there are songs that can be shortened but there are bss songs like that too. those other songs generally have a good hook in there somewhere but its far too little for them.
brendan canning's is probably still a bit better but ill have to let it settle. both of them are better than most music ive heard the past couple of years.

I'm going to see BSS soon, are they going to be playing crap off both of these solo albums or can I expect a classic BSS set?

they'll probably let canning play a few of his songs and play the majority of the set with BSS songs
have you listened to the records or are you just assuming they're bad? i dont know how BSS fans can completely dismiss these albums, they're solid.

yeah give it a shot, its not as good but its entertaining. really very few things are as good as you forgot it in people for me, so i have a pretty high opinion of that record.
i think you thought drew's stuff just sounded like b-sides but this might keep your attention more, worth listening to even if you're not instantly in love with it
