Still one of the greatest bands I've learned about in the past few years.

When you listen to each member of the band's parts individually, they really don't seem like anything special. But it is the way everything so perfectly coalesces and the amazing chemistry the members of the band so obviously have with each other that makes it amazing. The instrumental side slams together so perfectly and tightly and David Yow's vocals are just the sweet layer at the top. Seriously, can anyone name a vocalist that sounds like David Yow? The answer is probably no.

Seriously a very unique band. I was playing Goat earlier actually.

I also just remembered how I would always go for walks in the really hot Summer this year while blasting this band through headphones.

Pax Americana 12.17.2008 09:41 PM

Love em. They're doing a reunion tour next year, I think.

I got Liar on vinyl a couple of days ago. It's so good, Boilermaker is a classic.

gualbert 12.20.2008 06:14 PM

I think they're ok but not very good.
Perhaps most of the fuss is because Steve Albini is praising them for, uh.., a long time.

ZEROpumpkins 12.20.2008 06:23 PM

Didn't Albini break ties when they went major?

He and David Yow had some kind of war of words during interviews and stuff. They've since patched things up though, I believe.

Fair enough. Now that they're back, they might realise that they were a much better band on t&g

the fuck?

Is it true that Head is crap, and all the other record are great? (that's what Steve Albini says)

Toilet & Bowels 03.08.2009 11:10 AM

more or less, except head isn't crap

I'm surprised that you're not more of a Tomahawk fan then. Duane Denison is the core of the group and is responsible for the shape of most of the material, despite what most Patton enthusiasts choose to believe.

atsonicpark 03.08.2009 07:07 PM

Yeah, I think they're boring. Patton is annoying on it. I can tell Denison writes a lot of the music but the whole thing just bores the fuck out of me.
