Doesn't it come out next week?
right..my mistake
Seriously, does he pick it up vocally at all on this record? That wheezy, slightly tubercular grumble of recent vintage has worn a little thin for me.
Well he's not getting any younger, so that voice will remain for the forseeable future. That said, I think there's a vey noticeable progression in his ability to recognize his limits and that's a wonderful thing for me.
It is good that he can recognize his limitations, leave it to Bob Dylan to do something great even in his old age. That being said, the new album is making love to me. Or i'm making love to it. Either way, Dylan and i are making sweet sweet love.

Yes, thank you very very much for the Dylan.
And as for Akron/Family, yeah, it sounds different. i would not quite say that it's on the level as their first record, which was just fucking amazing. It still sounds good, but perhaps its a bit disappointing considering the level of their first work. i guess it would be a very dumb idea to expect a band like that to make two records that sound sort of similar though. i love the fact that they're experimenting, and i do enjoy Meek Warrior a LOT. It was a surprise when i first heard it, but shit, that's what bands like Akron/Family do.
I've enjoyed Meek Warrior on the first couple listens. This is the first Akron/Family stuff I've ever heard. How is the first album different? I'm intrigued...
You have yet to hear it? Wow, you are deprived. It's kind of hard to explain, but i will say that songs like "Blessing Force" are not on it at all. Take songs like "No Space in this Realm" and lengthen them a bit, then put them in a blender for awhile. i dunno, this is a horrible job at description. It's a damn good album, that self-titled one. i'll up it for you when i get the chance.
