It's just that this isn't a very good album in the studio. If Pitchfork's A>D>D is any indication, yeah, these songs were definitely meant to be played live.. I'd seen crappy quality videos of Calming the Snake before, but this one was really great, Kim Gordon wasn't really as vocally vicious as that on the album. Do they just hold back when they record their albums or something? If they had played the album we hear on record with as much energy as they play it in concert, then The Eternal would be a pretty cool album.
Also, Lee Ranaldo is the cutest old guy ever. Just saying. |

It's rare that a studio album is able to capture the aggression of a live performance.
I'm listening to the Action Swingers' Toe Rag Sessions CD at the moment and, having seen that band live a couple of times, I'd say it's one of the few that pulls it off - and certainly does a far better job than their live album. |

I'm sure the band is thrilled to have won you over, Summer.

Thread should be stickied, for many reasons.

for a good example of this see ![]() and also ![]() for my part, I didn't really like this album until the third time through, but now I think it is really good, aside from a few EJSTNS and Goo vibes of under-preparation and lack of concerted effort on some of the tunes, it is definitely solid. It is a bit behind Rather Ripped, and I wish they would have continued on the NYC -> Murray Street -> Sonic Nurse vibe of mixing psychedelic no-wave thrash with melodic, structured, harmonic music, but I see they went more for the new RocknRoll sonic youth. I dig it. Though, I think these are not Kim's greatest vocals, her voice is only for certain tunes, and these ones I feel are not it. I will say this album feels very very hurried, like there was not enough time taken in production and recording.. I guess thats what happens when you change labels after nearly two decades..

I think they thought about it more than RR, but the songs are better on RR, particular tunes like Jams Run Free, Reena, Incinerate, Do You Believe In Rapture... still the Eternal is very much a good record.

I still like Rather Ripped more. That isn't saying "The Eternal sucks THAT bad" because.. I love Rather Ripped, so.
