Sir Lemming posted:In retrospect I think the album that's aged least well is Era Vulgaris; I still consider it a better album than Lullabies To Paralyze, which was somewhat bloated, but something about the lo-fi aesthetic of it often turns me off from wanting to listen to it. I think Them Crooked Vultures ultimately turned out to be a better version of what they were going for. (Although I personally like to tack on the bonus tracks "Fun Machine" and "Running Joke" which helps it quite a bit.) My main problem with EV is that a lot of the songs sound like too many ideas slapped together without actually fitting. There's like four separate songs in 3's and 7's. I know it's Josh's "thing" but it just didn't mesh well here. The style works at times (Make It Wit Chu, the White Wedding cover and Fun Machine) but I don't think it's a coincidence those songs appeared in other forms first. On a Josh related note, I saw American Valhalla the other night, the Josh/Andreas Neumann co-directed documentary about Post Pop Depression and I'd highly recommend it if it's playing near you - Andreas was at my showing and he wasn't sure if it was getting a proper home media release so catch it if you can. He also mentioned there's gonna be a proper coffee table book with all the pictures from the project and a recording of the first Iggy/Josh show out later this year which is meant to be the end of the project.

They already have written them. Here's the full list of registered songs for Them Crooked Vultures: http://repertoire.bmi.com/Catalog.aspx?detail=artistid&page=1&fromrow=1&torow=25&keyid=223815&subid=0 There's pretty much a second album worth there. Already written, credited to all 3. When I saw them live, I was behind the lighting desk and they already had presets and cues programmed in for all of these songs, implying they planned to play them then didn't. Wonder if they'll ever come out.
