What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my son-in-law (cd to mp3)



And yet another good one with this eighth album. The band had left their Geffen label after Raditude. Now on independent Epitaph. Don't see any change that the move made. Still good time rock 'n' roll. The move may be good for the band in that it might get them out of a rut, where the music is starting to be very predictable, but not in a bad way. These boys have that versatility factor (Unbroken, Time Flies). They just don't use it much. Don't know what the stupid album cover is all about. The single off here of Memories only made a move on the Modern Rock chart at #21 with the album peaking at #6. Memories is a great track. Too bad it's associated with Jackass. There are no bad tracks on here, with 3 I love. That last track here is a collaboration between Rivers and none other than Mac Davis. That's a name I haven't heard in awhile.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Time Flies

Best Track - Memories

Pissing in plastic cups before we went on stage
Playing hackey sack back when Audioslave was still Rage
Watching all the freaky Dutch kids vomit, then have sex
Listening to techno music on the bus where we earned our checks

Memories
Make me want to go back there, back there
All the memories
Make me want to go back there, back there
All the memories
How can we make it back there, back there
I want to be there again

Messing with the journalists and telling stupid lies
They had a feeling that something was up because of the look in our eyes
In fact we didn't know what we were doing half of the time
We were so sure of ourselves and drove a long way through life

Memories
Make me want to go back there, back there
All the memories
Make me want to go back there, back there
All the memories
How can we make it back there, back there
I want to be there again

Now I got so many people that I got to look out for
I never know when I'll be called away to buy some food at the store
I can hear them babies crying and the lawn needs to be mowed
I gotta get my groove on because I'm freaking bored!

Memories
Make me want to go back there, back there
All the memories
Make me want to go back there, back there
All the memories
How can we make it back there, back there
I want to be there again
