They have a new single online. On first listen 'Transector' is not their best......

Quite possibly their worst.

[joostone]

Quite possibly their worst.

Yes. Not only their worst single, but just their worst overall song. I still think that first album is really great. It showcased a side of Stone we haven't seen in a long long time. Their second album had it's moments but also some lesser songs (especially the ones that Stone did not write....).

Painted Shield is producing records like rabbits. And that other single 'Blue Cristal' was good! This new song is just bland...

[VinylGuy]

yeah, their second album is not that good

[joostone]

yeah, their second album is not that good

That first album had 7 Stone compositions or something. So that's 7 out of 10. Then it becomes a real band and Stone wants to collaborate more. So also Jennings and Davis contribute songs. On that second album Stone only had 2 compositions. One of which is by far the best on the album.... This kinda happened with Brad aswell. The less Stone contributes the worse it's gets. Stone is just too nice...too much of a teamplayer.

Wait...that happened with PJ too

[VinylGuy]

Yeah well, Ed brought a lot of things in vs and vitalogy.

I’m not sure about Brad though I still like most of their stuff. But the second album from
This band is something I don’t quite need to listen. I’ll try more thought.

First single for the new one was not good yeah. Pretty standard stuff.

[VinylGuy]

Dead man’s dream is such a good song. Kinda makes me feel it’s a song for Brad

[joostone]

They played a live show last night...

[Alex]

this one was sick

Another new track...



From their third album:

1. Lover Divine
2. The Pleasure
3. Transector
4. Clear Blue Sky

6. Window
7. Run 'em All Down
8. Testify
9. Damn What a Beautiful Man

About Painted Shield 3: I think Painted Shield 3 is our most equally collaborative record yet. You can really feel all five of us on this one with Josh Evans’ production keeping it all cohesive. Stone has some classic amazing Stone riffs like The Pleasure and Lover Divine. Brit takes the lead on some fantastic grooving songs like The Getter and She Runs. Matt Chamberlain really brought his amazing modular synth writing chops to the table on songs like Testify and Run Em All Down. Jack-of-all-trades Jeff is holding down the amazing bass on songs like End In Mind and singing amazing harmonies on songs like The Pleasure. And I’m bringing my folkier songwriting passion to songs like Window and Clear Blue Sky. The result is Painted Shield 3. A musical universe unto itself. Can’t wait for you to hear it! ~Mason Jennings

#3 is out, i will need more time to judge it against the other 2 but it's surely a solid addition to their body of work, very good album with some tasty sounds.
