got a good deal for $5 for 6 cds. the other two....one is a present, the other i gotta give back. but its only a dollar, i'll probably just exchange it.

I'm excited about the Toto. Kinda an anomaly when you think about it.

the only one that deserves clowning is the gin blossoms. the only good songs on that album are the four or five singles and all the other tracks are disposable.

but 3 out of 4 ain't bad. the toto album is awesome, do not even hate. midnight oil kicks ass. and does anyone else here even know about ken andrews/failure/replicants at all?

"allison road" was a good song
and the gin blossons were pretty cool to hang out with for 20 minutes or so when i was in high school. one of the broads from my high school's dad was one of their accountants so we got to chill with them in a parking lot in des plaines once while they had their taxes done or something completely unrock like that

their van had a VHS player dude, which SCREAMS "rock n roll lifestyle" to a 16 year old kid

and cas, i still hate you

Found Out About You is an excellent tribute to the joy/pain of furtive and fruitless teenage stalking.

both the midnight oil and toto got samples for days....obviously a few of the toto songs have been done to death..."africa", "rosanna", and "i won't hold you back".

^^ I'm saying for a buck ? 1 song is worth a buck.
One good (not played out) loop is worth a buck :)

Gin Blossoms had 4 or 5 singles?

SYM · Post by **SYM** » Mon May 07, 2007 1:13 pm

yeah, four.

on the cd:

allison road
found about you
hey jealousy
until i fall away

that's not even counting two later singles they had.

SYM · Post by **SYM** » Mon May 07, 2007 1:15 pm

i like collecting cds.

Their biggest hit was "Till I Hear It From You" off the Empire Records soundtrack.

Then the dude killed himself and it was a wrap.

SYM · Post by **SYM** » Mon May 07, 2007 1:38 pm

MT1, are you at all familiar with a band that opened up for Tool in the early to mid 90's, called Failure?

Masked Terror #1 · Post by **Masked Terror #1** » Mon May 07, 2007 1:44 pm

Sure.

Somewhat inventive mid-90s post-grunge, heavy on sophisticated production/arrangements and much more popular with musicians/critics than with actual fans.

Was never really into them, but know some of their shit.

shopvack · Post by **shopvack** » Mon May 07, 2007 1:57 pm

hopkins actually killed himself 2 years before that soundtrack. i don't think he had anything to do with till i hear it from you. but yeah, they were done after they booted him out of the band.

any song written by doug hopkins from new miserable experience is greatness. lost horizons and pieces of the night especially are masterpieces. but the album as a whole isn't bad by any means. theres some weak points, but overall it's a good get drunk by yourself album.

i remember reading a blog somewhere that wrote up a review calling kurt cobain a wannabe hopkins, and saying that new miserable experience was more dark, desolate, and depressing than any seattle grunge band could have hoped to be. shit was kinda funny, but there's some truth in there.

Shit, you're right. Whadaya know.

I didn't even know that dude from the Gin Blossoms killed himself, but it does make the thread funnier somehow.

Also some of the newer Toto albums are pretty awesome instrumentally, Steve Lukather is a tight guitarist and and the drummer, Simon Phillips, he's pretty damn good. realkly underated studio drummer.
