way, way back in the day...... back in the early 00's, I always thought that "Liars" were the best of that crop of "dance punk" bands that were all the rage back then. They sort of had a Jesus Lizard thing going there for a while, but then they fired their drummer/bassist and got all weird and Sonic Youth-y on us. Long story short, I tried to be dutiful and stick by these guys, but their last few albums just seemed lame and uninspired.
But some of the reviews I read of their new album seemed pretty intriguing, so I listened to some of the trax on their MySpace page, and I have to admit, it actually sounds pretty fucking badass. So maybe I wrote them off prematurely or something. Anyone else listening to this new album? Thoughts on it? I know someone else posted about this album a while back, but thought it was worth a quick revisit
Another new release this week that has piqued my interest a bit is that new Gorillaz album. Curious to hear anyone's thoughts on that one as well.
over and out.

i think there was a post about Sisterworld...that's the Liars' latest one, right? I really like it. To me, a lot of their songs are merely ok, but then a song will pop up in the middle of a record that blows me away.
I also got that new Gorillaz, I've only heard a couple tracks so far, so the verdict's still out, but right now I'm leaning towards "meh."
yeah, "Sisterworld" is the Liars new one. Even the title is Sonic Youth-like, not to mention the fact that theyre signed to Mute Records! But I give them credit for coming more and more into their own, at least from what Ive heard of the new one.
I still need to check out the new Gorillaz.......
