Clutch is loving incredible but I haven’t been able to get into any of their post 2009 or so stuff. See, the thing is their style went and evolved. Hard metal, stoner rock, jam band, regular metal with some weird poo poo, blues-jam band stuff, then blues metal. The … it stopped. They just started making excellent blues metal but I wasn’t listening to them for their straight up technical ability, but because it was always different. Anyway post about Clutch because even though they’ve been letting me down I still love em.

Percy Teatwillow posted:I stopped paying attention to them around the time Electric Worry came out (good song tho), but anything off of Elephant Riders or Blast Tyrant is really loving good. Elephant Riders is a really good album, it has that perfect balance of “weird” and “super listenable”. The Soapmakers is amazing. Beale Street (the one with Electric Worry on it) is kind of where I fell off too. Strange Cousins from the west is the 2009 album that really was it, but I’ve listened to that a couple dozen times in 12 years, compared with everything before it where it’s easily hundreds. Robot Hive/Exodus was my intro to them. So good. 10001110101 is a fantastic song and the chorus is memorable enough I can type the title from memory every time.

I’m seeing them live in Albany this October, PMs are welcome if you want to join I loving love Impetus. Back when I was running all the time I had a hill I would have to run up at the end. I always had it come on to the chorus- I will not relent I will not relent I AM DRIVEN https://youtu.be/3z1XxDE0iRw

BigFactory posted:I think it’s just kinda boring, and I like the newer Clutch that sounds like they’re morphing into ZZ Top  , it was kind of the turning point for me on their new stuff. I think it’s because after that they started having a more standard sound from album to album and nothing weird or out there like Elephant Riders or Blast Tyrant.E:wait no, I have it confused with Earth Rocker.

 Also couldn’t tell robot hive was your favorite at any point before I read your post, because your username is not the second best song on that album. When I first found clutch it was 2007 I was 18 and it was my Dad and I listening to metal albums while cutting down dying cedar trees and lighting them on fire. And by that I mean, he had two metal albums at hand because my mom had just separated from him for the second but not final time. The two albums? Elephant Riders and Robot Hive/Exodus. I still have whatever the word is for weird nostalgia for an incredibly unpleasant event is for those two albums. I loved Beale street from the first time I heard it, the self-titled and earlier is where I had some adjustment. Self titled did give me a phrase I use all the time now, though. When I’m working hard at a futile task and someone asks me how I’m doing I say “rockin’ it like Sisyphus”

If they released anything that sounded even a little bit like Elephant Riders I would lose my poo poo so hard and never get it back.

HenryJLittlefinger posted:I think the days of weird funky muddy poo poo are long gone and I mourn that. I want to see them this tour, they’ve been playing a lot of old stuff. I’ve seen the set lists and it’s like 30 percent stuff I want to see and would lose my poo poo for, and 70 percent new stuff that would bore me.
