How much though? It was a let down.

I enjoyed it enough - it was fun

You're dead to me. No fun allowed.

I like Villains

It's a fine album, with some very good songs, but it does feel like a step down. I don't revisit it nearly as much as Like Clockwork.

In a way it feels like it's their Lightning Bolt. A solid continuation of the previous album.

Villains sucks.

The first 2 minutes of the opening track is fantastic but that song is about 3 minutes too long. Wonderful way to start the album though. The Way You Used To is also a jam.

Everything else is completely forgettable.

Im all for bands evolving and trying new things. I dont need these guys to always be sludgy sexy metal music but Villains is very disappointing.

It does. I've been actively trying to see the good in all music for a while now. It pains me to hate on music, but this album just sucks.

Hideaway, Haunted House, Unreborn Again and Villains are the only songs I really go back to, but I enjoy those 4. They're all solid 4 star queens songs.

There's really nothing on the album that can hold up to Like Clockwork, though.

Those songs are all shit.

Got it, thanks

I mean they're okay. I'm sorry.

Oh ok

Listening to anything decent these days, Tommy?

I haven't listened to anything new in quite a while. Mostly I've been listening to Soundgarden, The Sound and The Talking Heads lately.

Most of what used to be music time is now Podcast time for me. I only really listen to music while riding my bike.

I could do a year on an island with nothing but Talking Heads. One of the greatest bands.

What's this all about? I remember The Sounds.

The Sound are a Post-Punk band that formed in the late 70s. They didn't achieve much success, but the critics loved them. I discovered them while looking for bands in the same vein as Television. Their first album is the best IMO.

Well this is outstanding. You really should post more, Tommy.

I'm glad you like it. I listen to that album all the time and it really bums me out that it's not more well known.

Lullabies and Vulgaris are so underrated.

There's no good songs on Like Clockwork either.
