I finally got midget and it was . . . well, the first two words which come to mind are "pedestrian" and "lacking." 
Am I just in some kind of funk that has tarnished my perception? Was there too much gushing over the album that when I finally heard it, I was left with "Eh?" I hate to say it, but I'd rank it right down there with DA's Kalhoun -- another album which left me, to say the least, underwhelmed.

I must admit I was a little underwhelmed on first listens in the car. However, after cranking it up on the home stereo and on headphones it didn't take me too many more listens to enjoy and appreciate it a lot more, enough that I was comparing to Zoom Daddy and trying to decide which one I liked best. |
I want to like this much, MUCH more than I have been. And I don't see the connection to Zoom Daddy. I wish I did. Oh, how I wish.

I wish I may

I don't see the Zoom Daddy connection either, but I must say that I'm enjoying this new disc immensely!

It is somewhat of a loose connection I will admit.
But it works for me!

hmm - interesting perspective
(I love Kalhoun)-
it may just be a matter of taste is all-
I am trying to be perfectly honest- (as compared to those times I tell little white lies I guess- or am blantantly pulling everyones........leg)
when I saw the MS& M artwork and some of the song titles
I was set for some of the terms you described-
and the previews were good-but set no hook in me or anything.
But - hey please -would someone read my review??? please? please??
(jk)
I had to again (fer once??) be perfectly honest after the first spin- and I wrote my thoughts after bout 5 spins
n the thing has gone bout 7 more since.
I dont listen to a single CD 12 or more times unless it has indeed set its hook deeply

The better the TST / DA / SE / LD release, the less I like it at first listen, and the more I appreciate it as it goes along. DFBB almost turned me off of DA for awhile until I came to my senses.
I played MSM for my wife in the car and she actually liked it. She was telling people are work about various things I'd told her about it. That's a first.
And the title cut for Kalhoun freaking rocks. ; )

I've had the complete opposite reaction to you. I've loved everything from straight out the gate (with the exception of Kalhoun).

Yes, I agree the title cut rocks, but as for everything else.

It's a shame that this has hurt feelings. Other than his Christianity, what has drawn most of us to TST is his humanity. Especially, his biting wit as Camarillo. He stepped all over my toes years ago by calling out my alma mater (along with a few dozen others) on Hide The Beer....but I respected it and yeah, being a rebellious fundamentalist, I kinda dug it.
BTW,
The Medley Of Our Hit rocks my foot coverings off.
What I fear is that TST (& Dr. Love on the Blackboard) will make fewer cyber-appearances as a result of messageboard drama. We should be proud that we, daMB members, were the subject of a song. I'm happy for the kudos given to the Audies on the tune as well. |
the song does rock my socks off!
i told my wife after the line about bd and his buddies, "honey, they are talking about me!"
she just said "huh" 
anyways...... like nails said.... beating a dead horse...
if terry wrote a song that said joey is an idiot...
i would still probably listen to his music..
and my wife would get what i am talking about......
