well i wasn't saying he didn't enjoy playing any of the old songs...but some definitely were uninspired at times. like Mayo in europe early 08, Disarm during the 07 summer festivals (though oddly, some of these same shows had awesome versions of BWBW), and Soma at times in 08 seemed that way, compared to how he used to sing them.

but on the other hand Hummer was awesome all through 07 and the residencies. so was Siva and most of the other 20th anniversary tour old song choices. Same with Shame, Rocket (when played), Winterlong....and all the Machina stuff, though maybe some of you don't count that because thats the newest of the old material (and therefore closer to his current mindset, like the Z material). and yea, at Paris and the early 07 europeaon club shows everything pretty much sounded kickass imo. Silverfuck and 33 at Paris were awe inspiring.

i think it's more important to do public service as a career rather than a few days a month/year so you can feel good about yourself

I now think about the title of this (great) thread whenever I try to listen to zeitgeist. For those that can get past the production, how? I'd appreciate advice on appreciating this record.

Or we can shit on it some more together.

It's frustrating how much better it could be if they literally just turned down the vocals a coupe dB

Or if Doomsday Clock sounded like this, Stellar was on the album, Billy didn't piss off James and he was playing on the album....it could be a return to form, and/or at least better that MSOTS.

But if Billy tracklisted MSTOS properly, and wasn't such a jackass to piss off the other guitarists, maybe that would've kept going...


fuck u billy

fuck u billy
It's lonely at the top...

Even apart from the vocals the instrumental tracks on all the heavy tunes sound so squashed...the guitars are thin and reedy, the open hi-hat swishes annoyingly in a bad mp3 way instead of sizzling. It just hurts me to listen to for very long.

I think I like a lot of the songs. I think they're good?

The production is awful though. I don't know what it is but there's way too much bass, like they didn't bother EQing any of the instruments or something? It's really blurry and indistinct. I have pretty good monitors, speakers & headphones and there's songs where I can't hear the drums other than some cymbals and snare. Vocals are too loud and he sounds like he can't be arsed.

I quite like the guitar playing.

It's really weird coming after his newspaper thing about wanting his band and dreams and songs back. Ok well you didn't want your band back that badly - you didn't even bother asking them. And you can't want your dreams and songs and blah blah back that badly if you can't even be bothered to sing and make sure your comeback record doesn't sound like piss.
