Their commitment to not selling what they're kickstarting after the fact still makes no sense to me. Everything is digital! If they can't pay you for it they will easy steal it instead! Take people's money gah!

I put in a request for one, but it's a duet and wouldn't really work NOT as a duet. I talked to them at a recent show and they said they'd see if they could wrangle someone in to do it, but if they can't I have other possibilities. So...we'll see! (it's not under pressure)

Dick made Easy Lover work by himself. I threw in for the first two Kickstarters but gotta sit this one out cause moving, glad plenty of other crazies are on board for it though. Also am with the people rolling their eyes at no after the fact sales for this, I'd throw money at it when I'm able but now is not a good time!

The new album got announced a couple of days ago when I wasn't looking. It's called Bitch, Don't Let Me Die! and the track list looks a little something like this... Drone Strikes Two Dollar Two Kids Are Evil Roulette A Variation Of Elaine Slow Motion Man Big Red Arthur Dime, Dime, Penny, Dime If U R Who U Say U R When Cowboys File For Divorce Take Another Shape Electric Six quote:Mortality. It’s the primary reason we don’t live forever. If not for our mortality, the number of years each of us would have to roam this earth would be as infinite as the sands of time running through the earth itself. When extraterrestrials eventually make first contact with us within the next twenty years, the first glaringly obvious thing they will notice…is that we die. They will come to our planet with sinister intentions and they will immediately have the upper hand because we die…and they don’t. It’s a simple as that. And it’s all because of our mortality.

It pains me to say this but it's definitely one of the worst albums, if not the worst. At least some other albums had at least one song that stood out to me. EDIT: It's not bad, it's just...mediocre, IMO.

I feel like every E6 album has that problem on a first listen to, for me at least. Human Zoo was the first one in awhile where I liked the first 3 songs immediately. I am still discovering appreciation for songs on older albums, I just really started appreciating Heartbeats recently. I am hoping this new album will be the same, I am halfway through my first listen, I really liked Variation of Elaine so far.

The only song standing out to me so far is Two Dollar Two for the Aerosmith-esque parts. Otherwise, it's a bit hit and miss with emphasis on the miss. Not overly sold on the production either but I may just be hearing things.

The whole album is very muffled for some reason and there's something with the audio balance that makes it harder to discern the lyrics. At least on Spotify.

I really like the album but I agree that it's not a very memorable one. Slow Motion Man is really ace though.

I wonder if they're not just getting burnt out from the constant touring and album releases. The last 2 year gap they had was between Heartbeats and Mustang, and that had Absolute Pleasure in it. Their only 2-year gap before that was Fire/Senor Smoke. Everything else has been a release a year, which is impressive but starting to look unsustainable.

I really like how it's starting to look unsustainable after almost 10 years. I agree though, I wouldn't mind waiting an extra year if it meant getting another Kill.

Actually, Senor Smoke came out the year after Fire ...in the UK and Australia. :They were on Warner UK at the time, the use branch passed on Senor so they were stuck looking for a deal for a bit until they hooked up with Metropolis. The US got two E6 albums that year with SS getting its domestic issue finally and then Switzerland later that same year.

I decided to go back, on a whim, to Spotify to listen to some Electric Six albums. Am I an apologist grasping onto anything to keep E6 relevant in my heart, or has Heartbeats and Brainwaves aged quite well considering the so-so reaction it got when it was released? Hello! I See You is on par with the best stuff they've ever done and Bleed For The Artist, Gridlock! and Interchangable Knife were interesting enough. The latter, in particular, is still a weird song to associate with them and yet it is perfectly listenable. I don't have this feeling so much with Zodiac: even though the songs themselves are probably better, I could barely remember two songs off the top of my head from that album. Heartbeats though, for me, feels like the last really decent album they've made, tipped over the edge by Hello!, which to me is like Escape From Ohio on KILL in terms of a modern classic E6 staple. Anyway, long story short: Heartbeats, better than I remember it being.

It is a quite good album with many really good songs. Free Samples, Bleed for the Artist, We Use the Same Products, Interchangeable Knife. The list goes on.

"Hello! I See You" is probably my favorite from the record, though I would be lying if I didn't mention it really grew on me after hearing the live version

I like Heartbeats way more than Mustang and Kill, I think it has a bunch of solid tracks on it.

On the topic of Heartbeats, am I the only person who really loves Food Dog? It doesn't sound like most other E6 songs but still has what I feel are some of the most Dick Valentine lyrics he's ever written.

Commissar Budgie posted:"Hello! I See You" is probably my favorite from the record, though I would be lying if I didn't mention it really grew on me after hearing the live version "Hello! I See You" is loving great. I did a lyrics analysis "presentation"...thing in college when that album came out (among a couple of other of their songs), cause I always loved how E6 mostly writes their lyrics to be silly on the surface but when you actually dissect them, they're completely coherent and thematic. I kind of wish I could've done "Alone with Your Body" as well but it wasn't out yet.

I'm going to be the weird one and say I really didn't like any of Heartbeats save We Use the Same products, I definitely consider it their weakest aside from Maaaaaaybe Human Zoo. Zodiac, on the other hand...

I have pretty much the same experience with every E6 album, past like Switzerland: at first I can't really get into it except maybe one or two tracks jump out at me. After a few listens those tracks usually solidify to me as staples, then occasionally I rediscover a track later on. On Human Zoo the first 3 immediately jumped out to me as being probably the best sequence in awhile, then it kind of gets dull until I Need a Restaurant which is my favorite track on the album. On Bitch, Don't Let Me Die! I'm currently really digging Two Dollar Two, Roulette!, A Variation of Elaine and When Cowboys File For Divorce, but there are even others that are starting to grow on me.

That seems to be the process most fans seem to go through, at first the albums seems underwhelming except for a couple of song but after a few listens it really grows on you.
