Yeah, I didn't rip off my headphones this time. I'll give it a solid 2. But still not a fan. There's something about the lackadaisical quality to the singer's voice that annoys me. It's all so wink-wink Kabuki dancerish. Feels insincere at its core.
Insincere, lackadaisical, soul-less, mechanical, oh-so-witty and artificially flavored and sweetened. The musical execution is perfectly textured but has no gut. I suppose the frat boys love it but to me it's throw away pop, with the artistic value of drain water.
Wow! I could not disagree more! These guys are the greatest.
There are a lot of people whose primary frame of reference for music is the recording. I don't think I started to fully appreciate the Dead before I'd seen maybe half a dozen shows. I used to be willing to engage people who went out of their way to express their dislike for this band. Even going to a show wasn't going to do it for everyone, just like going to a baseball game will not turn most people into a baseball fan. Yeah, going to a dead show and not being a deadhead was a whole lot like going to a baseball game and not being a baseball fan. If you don't get it, it cannot possibly be explained.
Funny I think this is one of his best. Love this one!

Ditto!
