MORE BROKE-ASS SHIT PLEASE

Holy hell. It's been almost ten years. No wonder they sound so different. Remember how they sounded on that first one? The Big Come Up was produced by drummer Pat Carney "using his patented recording technique known as medium fidelity. This system requires equal parts broke-ass shit to equal parts hot ass shit." (I remember getting a good chuckle reading that one.). I don't know for sure if they added more broke-ass shit, or more hot-ass shit, but I think it's the latter. There are too many resources available to them. I like them with less. None of their later records sound as alive, as stripped down, as that first one. This is the stuff that initially put them on the map; small, though, the map may have been. Funny, you don't hear this stuff in commercials.
