I thought this was going to be a racist thread about Iha living in Japan.

"Iha live in Japan
He a poor fuck
He eat cat for breakfast
Dog for dinner"

Anyone else have zero interest in James solo?

rottenugly · 02-21-2012, 03:47 PM

His first album was okay.

you're thinking of China. Japanese people don't eat cats and dogs.

i'm not expecting a whole lot but i'll give it a listen.

scottytheoneand · 02-21-2012, 03:58 PM

the HU podcast is interesting. sounds like there was a fair amount of promotion in Japan for this concert (which included a lot of other bands). But james showed up and only played 5 songs.

Well he still can't sing, and he still writes like a girl.

Japan is actually civilized and contributes to the world while China does not. It's a pretty glaring difference, if you ask me.

but ghost-mutt, nobody gives a FUCK about korea.

CrabbMan · 02-21-2012, 06:36 PM

I kinda like that Gemini song on first listen. When I last checked out Let it Come Down, maybe a year ago, I was reminded of a few songs that I found enjoyable. I would say his style hasn't changed too much.

pale_princess · 02-21-2012, 06:41 PM

excellent tunes!

i'll have the biggest shit-eating grin if the critics praise it. sooooooooooo many sour grapes for old man bill.

not that i'm predicting it. but it'd be kewl, huh!

paranoid · 02-21-2012, 10:34 PM

these songs are all really, really good. great melodies, arrangements, etc etc. really excited to hear this new record.

eh, i wouldn't say they're really, really good, but they're decent, much better than his last album, anyway.

wHATcOLOR · 02-21-2012, 11:50 PM

well it's not objectively great, or even very good, but damn it, he is our james!! i miss that guy. i really miss what he brought to the pumpkins. i really enjoyed listening to these songs. i wouldn't ask anyone else to listen to them, but really enjoyed it

fuzzyroes · 02-22-2012, 02:27 AM

really enjoying make believe and gemini... Some of the vocals were a little shaky but James was always much better in the studio than live anyhow..

I'm actually really looking forward to the new album!

So far from what I've heard: Look to the sky > Oceania

BlissedandGone2 · 02-22-2012, 03:36 AM

I cant believe most of you actually like this.

This is so bad. So so bad.

amoergosum · 02-22-2012, 03:38 AM

He can't sing well live but the new songs are great!
I'm looking forward to listen to the studio versions.

scottytheoneand · 02-22-2012, 05:31 AM

I was kind of just "meh" about these. I'm reserving judgment for the album. I think they'll sound better with more instrumentation.

antiskum · 02-22-2012, 05:38 AM

i like these tbh. they're just honest pop songs, no pretension. it's kinda sounding like carissa's wierd meets the cure or something.

will check the album out fo sho
