The War on Drugs - Currently the Best Band Around?

I have to update my prior rating regarding new album vs LITD. I got high as a flock of kites last night and listened to ADU while cooking dinner. Iā€™m not sure I have heard a better headphone album, the production and guitar playing is simply breathtaking. Apparently he spent a colossal amount of time in the studio working on it.

Sonically fantastic but Iā€™m not overly gone on the vocalist for whatever reason.

Ya, its special

I went and listen to both after you gave your opinion.

To be honest they morphed i to each other.

In terms of lyrics they are similar, but i would say what you are hearing is just better practiced studio work.

Are they using organs alot? There is some wind sound in it thats awesome.

His voice or just him in general?

A bit of a whingey cunt

His voice. Canā€™t take to it.

I can understand that.

Doesnā€™t bother me, maybe because there is so much else going for them

definitely an organ there

Itā€™s probably the Bob Dylan factor. Some find his voice OK, most find it mildly irritating and a lot find it horribly grating. Adam Granducial sounds like Tom Petty who sounds like Dylan. My wife canā€™t stand Bob Dylan, and although her musical taste is generally good, canā€™t warm to the TWOD at all.

Its mans music though. Seriously, no woman i know takes to it

the wife loves it

Anything that wasnā€™t reggae would be a relief for the poor woman. :grinning:

Has it been mentioned before that the singer sounds like Bryan Adams?

Admins, please ban Locke from this thread for 6 months.

Thanks, HB.

The last person to confuse Bryan Adams with Ryan Adams got fucked out anyway. There is an Americana musical style similarity with Ryan Adams but not in the voice.
