Wow, Just Wow. Are you so blinded by your righteousness that you can't see how much that applies to yourself and everyone who ever posts any opinion anywhere.

You take a nasty tone with your posts so what comes around goes around.

My review:

Pass, man/Traitor Man


"Shit sandwich" also comes to mind.

How do you take such a stellar cast and make such boring drivel? I'm not kissing his ring on this one. Sorry.

So I'm sure he's pleased with himself, jesus he had fucking Levon Helm and Steve Cropper amongst others, but he should have saved it for his own little special cigar box where he keeps his sentimental precious recordings.

This is a vanity project that should have never seen the light of retail.

So hate me, but this is an embarrassing pile of song.



I dont necessarily agree with your points but your post certainly made me chuckle!


I for one didn't jump down your throat when you made your comments because I found them to be amusing, so as you can see, not everyone called you a 'troll' or had a go at you. You seem to be implying that everyone on this board is against you, when this clearly this isn't the case. However, it soon will be if you continue to antagonise people with your shitty posts.

I find this forum to be a legitimate arena for discussion, If you dont, you know where the door is...

People here can't seem to make an argument without personally attacking the one they are posting about. That's par for the course in this day and age it seems.

Guy, I never said EVERYONE did. And where did I say EVERYONE is having a go at me? Why are you all so defensive? Like viciously mean and defensive. Have you looked at your posts made in this thread?

So then are you a troll? See, because randomly telling someone to Fuck themselves just because you feel like it is a pretty good definition of one.

If you feel that not everyone had a go at you, and that it was only a disgruntled minority, why bother starting a thread about it and getting even more people's backs up? Nobody cares.

the main reason i don't like FMRM is because of frank black's vocals. the melodies. the attempt to sing the melodies. and in some cases, the words the melodies are sung with. all three combine to form one huge suck. another reason i can think of is the poor and inconsistent production on some of the honeycomb left over tracks.

I agree. Especially the huge suck part.

m4r, just wondering how many times you've played FMRM? I assume maybe you've stopped listening to it now since you seem to have a fair amount of disdain for it.

I liked most of it from the first play and the rest has grown on me the more times I've played it - although I recall an older post of yours where you said it seemed to get worse the more times you played it. So do you still give it a spin hoping it will get better, or have you totally given up?

(( I'm a Snake... cut in half 'cause I'm not the one you needed. ))

For the record, I'm the only one who called marcus a troll.

Thereality is I'm sorry for contesting his veracity.

But I don't think he's ever actually heard FMRM.

Why would you say that? Just because I don't particularly think it's Frank's best?

I've heard it plenty.

Blind allegiance? Hmmmmrrgg. I too was a little confused about the new music. But, what's new? It's simply the price of admission into Frank's World. Did I hold back my initial negative review because Frank Black might read it? Yes. I'm polite to polite people. I also held it back because the rest of you might read it. Now, I love the new record and I have no regret.

Also, I would have to say that if some stranger came up to me on the street and said my opinion is simply because of blind allegiance, I would probably be quite surprised. That's a blind insult in my neighborhood.

"Don't fall for it. Yes, I am a Frank fan, No I don't like the current release, so what. Is this all about blind allegiance...can anyone step away from the useless admiration and calm down a bit. Some people like it some don't. Don't be so speedy with your "troll" cries."

Blind allegiance? Good gravy.

I just don't really see the value in what seems to be obsessing about an album you don't like. What's the point in bashing it in thread after thread?

For the most part, I'd say FB fans, and members of this forum in particular, are fairly intelligent people that can make their minds on what they like or don't like on their own.

Is making a lot of posts about how much you don't like the album going to change any minds? The people of this forum? Frank Black? Will he read your post and think, "oh man, this dude really hated it. I must change my direction musically".

Absolutely this forum is about discussing the music of Frank Black, but your opinion is known. You don't like FMRM. As suggested, your negative opinion about the album would probably be better received in a thread for peopl that don't like it.

Anyway, it's almost a guarantee that FB will have a new album within a year or so that you might like better. Move on.

Each new album I am suprised, and then after pious relistenings, nicely. And then nicerly after subsequent relistenings. For me, the man can do no wrong. That used to bother me, but I have yielded. FMRM is just great. I wish I could nutshellify why. FB has shaped and reshaped my taste as he has progressed and, in my humble opinion, improved as he has graduated from his more carrion tones, which I loved, to more tender tones. Some might say his sound has become more country or even pop, but he does it in such an erudite way, with such a grand ol versatile voice which makes it so fresh and kind of mysterious until you learn the chords and then it's so simple but genius in it's simplicity. And to punch out so many.. Sorry, I'll stop now. I do tend to go on...

In a nutshell, it's grouse, but rest assured, I know why. :D

Once I got past the blah blah blah, the member named blah made a really blah blah blah point about blah.

It was six men of Indostan
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
(Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind

The First approached the Elephant,
And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side,
At once began to bawl:
“God bless me! but the Elephant
Is very like a wall!”

The Second, feeling of the tusk,
Cried, “Ho! what have we here
So very round and smooth and sharp?
To me ’tis mighty clear
This wonder of an Elephant
Is very like a spear!”

The Third approached the animal,
And happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands,
Thus boldly up and spake:
“I see,” quoth he, “the Elephant
Is very like a snake!”

The Fourth reached out an eager hand,
And felt about the knee.
“What most this wondrous beast is like
Is mighty plain,” quoth he;
“ ‘Tis clear enough the Elephant
Is very like a tree!”

The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear,
Said: “E’en the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most;
Deny the fact who can
This marvel of an Elephant
Is very like a fan!”

The Sixth no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope,
Than, seizing on the swinging tail
That fell within his scope,
“I see,” quoth he, “the Elephant
Is very like a rope!”

And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong!

Moral:

So oft in MUSIC wars,
The disputants, I ween,
Rail on in utter ignorance
Of what each other mean,
And prate about an Elephant
Not one of them has seen!

You're an ornery one, aren't you.

Please opine about the erudite ways and expound on the grouse comment...on second thought, maybe you'd like to stick your finger down your throat and vomit back up that thesaurus you swallered!

2 can play at your game.

Marcus, last time I asked you to be nice when you were snotty to another member. Mods have to act as peacekeepers mostly because we don't have time to babysit every ego on the forum. I'm asking you again, be nice will you? If anyone is coming across as viciously defensive here it's you. It's not helping anything.

Starme, you blame ME for being defensive? Count how many times posts in this thread alone used profanity or other noncalled for language to attack me. Please.

Why do you not post when someone says "Fuck You" to me and I do/did nothing? Answer that.

Yet, when I answer non-profanely someone for calling me dip-shit, then you post?

Why is that not the dictionary definition of hypocrite? How can anyone take you seriously?

Where's the "Be Nice" message there? Is it because he has more posts than me?

So what number of posts do I need to get away with being a prick, hypocrite?
