new FLOGGING MOLLY

clevohardcore - 3-4-2008 at 03:01 PM

I have to say this is by far their greatest release. I have been into them for nearly 3 short years but have all releases and spin them very regularly. Each release is good but unlike SWAGGER(lacks direction but very good), DRUNKIN LULLABIES(awesome more direction and beginning to find themselves), A MILE FROM HOME(they have found themselves but are still a little uneasy and too cautious), FLOAT( FUCKING A THIS IS IT. THIS IS THE BAND REALLY HOLDING THEIR OWN.)

NOw I aint trying to start shit and I know all of their releases are very very good. THat not what I am trying to say. However FLOAT is just awesome from beginning to end. Everythign about it is great. The songs, words, structure, hell even the layout. I'd like to get this on LP just for the pictures and layout.

I know most will dissagree but I thought I'd throw my stupid opinion out there for ya to read. And know I will go back to jamming this cd FLOAT out.

listened to the stream online twice, but it hasn't really grabbed me yet.
swagger is all i have and i absolutely love it.

I am jamming DRUNKIN right now and I love that cd too, but I guess what I mean is it is so damn good. Production, songs etc. Its like a well polished piece of damn good music. I lacks lacks nothing in making it great but it does have less fast pace muscle if that makes any sense.

What I mean is the stuff most HARDCORE/ PUNK fans would get off on. It has less of it. It is more a well rounded album. Just very fucking good stuff.

that first album is no joke

I've only given it one listen, but I feel like its definitely not up to the standard of their other releases. This band has always been very high energy and I think its missing on the new CD. I don't think its even one thing just a million little things that make it less exciting. The production seems less exciting, Dave doesn't scream like he always has and the vocals just seem less interesting to me. I don't think its a terrible record or anything, but I was a little disapointed.

gavin - 3-4-2008 at 04:00 PM

im listening to it now
i like it

yo is dave married to the chick in the band?
i find myself attracted to her and would like to ask her if she wants to move into my basement
but if she's married, ill keep it on the d.l.

I just finished listening to it and I liked it. I don't think it's their best record, but it's still good.

I almost bought it today at Target. I should have. 10 bucks.

Dude, the Trick Or Treat album smokes! I need to find that movie again as well. Dave King used to get embarrassed when asked about the band, well when I razzed him years ago when they were first starting out. He's fully cool about it now though.

im glad he's cool with it cuz what a killer band they were
i was never a huge 'metal" guy, but they always stuck with me from the first time i saw the video for say what you will

I gave it a listen. Like Chris said, its lacking the energy and excitement of previous releases but its still very good. It reminded me a bit of REM in a few places... which I mean as a compliment.

I thought the same exact thing. Almost a CHURCH or REM feel.

listened again today.
it's definitely a strong album, but it's mellow.
i like my molly with a little increased tempo and the occasional yelling.

if all i have is swagger, and what i like is the emotion, which of their albums should i pick up next?

Drunken Lullabies... Definitely.

I have the new album. Listened to it several times. Not bad but very folky. As its been said I like Flogging Molly to be more upbeat with gang vocals. This is more focused on the Folk and Irish Standard side of their music. Its by no means a bad release, but would some songs to have more intensity.

DeathByForce - 3-6-2008 at 09:59 AM

I like the last album so much more than this one. This one lyrically bores me. The last one was more explorational while still keeping true to the bands first two albums.

BDx13 - 3-6-2008 at 11:31 AM

i'll look into drunken lullabies.

is 'far away boys' (the last track on swagger) a fm original? amazing song. the poetic quality is right up there with some of shane's most romantic songs.

Discipline - 3-6-2008 at 11:44 AM

Drunken Lullabies is great and I would check out Within A Mile of Home just for "Light of a Fading Star" and "Don't Let Me Die Still Wondering," let alone the rest of the album which is great.

DUDE, the TOSSERS are right up your alley. IF you want power from your FLOGGING then it would be the album DRUNKIN LUL.............
