sounds good

[Ello Sailor]

Sure, but I still get a "how do you do, fellow kids?" vibe from it.

[VinylGuy]

because of Willow Smith?

[Ello Sailor]

No, from them playing Cherub Rock.

[Ello Sailor]

Yes, because of Willow Smith.

[VinylGuy]

Its a great song, and she seemed so hyped to be talking to Billy in the podcast, im sure she was blown away.

i really hope i can see this band next year actually

[Ello Sailor]

Definitely happy for her.

[knee tunes]

dig it

[Ello Sailor]

Have you heard this, Veggie? I love the mix overall, but the cymbals seem a little washed out.

[VinylGuy]

I havent no!! seems like a very good idea, i might put it later, specially because i dont listen to Zeitgeist as much as i should.

Doomsday Clock is a monster

Have you heard this, Veggie? I love the mix overall, but the cymbals seem a little washed out.

been awhile since i actively listened to this record, and it sounds like a fuckin masterpiece compared to the recent stuff. while there are clear indications here of the direction the band will go over the next 15 years, jimmy's presence all over these songs just makes it all the more baffling that billy chooses to put out music that minimizes his own fucking drummer. i just can't fathom being in a band with one of the most uniquely talented rock drummers ever and barely letting them play the drums. i wonder if jimmy regrets coming back to the fold in any way, or if the paycheck simply justifies doing whatever billy wants despite not utilizing him anywhere near the capacity he's capable of.

as for this mix, like i said i haven't listened to the original in a long while, but this is definitely tolerable and the reduced presence of the billy choir is notable.

[VinylGuy]

That’s new ? Or was on one of the deluxe stuff

[Ello Sailor]

Never officially released. I guess it was "leaked" a year ago?

[VinylGuy]

Can’t believe there is more unreleased stuff

[Ello Sailor]

"Avalanche" is a solid opener to Act II. Great vocals, some tasty guitar. Synth haters need not apply, though.

[VinylGuy]

oh, ill check it out. Its been a while since i listened to the podcast.

[Ello Sailor]

I kinda can't stand the podcast lol

[VinylGuy]

i liked most of the episodes i listened. The Butch Vig one was my favorite.

[Ello Sailor]

The Butch ep was indeed great. I should clarify -- I don't much care for most of the guests. I like the part of each episode, usually to close things out, where Billy speaks at length about a classic song. This week was 'To Sheila', and it was awesome.
