Glassjaw - Material Control (December 1, 2017) Album • Page 60

Can we talk about the dirty, filthy and nasty things Beck did with a guitar and bass on this record?

Holy fuck is it good.

 

Always dug Glassjaw but wasn't die hard like a bunch of my buds... this record is next level. easily their best work. I'm blown away. this is one of the coolest records I've heard this year. feels like it breathes new life into post hardcore.

 

"pompeii" is bigger than god

 

This is exactly how i feel atm

 

the title track is cool, i don't get why other people are mad

 

Nobody is mad haha but a little confused maybe?

 

I have a pretty damn good setup in my car, and this shit pushed the hell out of it. I love mixes like that. Also love that reading everyone's reactions, good or bad, just makes me want to listen to it more. Reminds me of the consensus for Gore when it was released last year.

 

I love the whole thing. Really smacks the spot.

 

what's wrong with the production on W&T?

 

The production for on W&T is overall great, but I feel like it can be pretty inconsistent from song to song.

 

W&T feels a little too clinical and cold. Little grit would’ve gone a long way.

 

i wonder what people think of when they see me fist pumping while i run.

 

Yeah, I can see that. Personally I'm OK with it, especially now that we got a really juicy, messy gj record on our hands now

 

The guitars on Gore are soooooo loud and I love it.

Until I remember Abe is one of the best and most underappreciated drummers around and get sad. I like using the drums as a benchmark for how loud to play it tho

 

I wouldn't want the production on this to be much different to be honest. Vocals a little further forward at times maybe. The bass sounds soooooooooooooooooo killer.

 

Palumbo: It just kind of felt like you needed to exhale for a minute and gather your thoughts before you go to that last song. It's different for us to close out [the album] with it being so high energy.

Beck: It's the palette cleanser.

Palumbo: Yeah, it's the ginger, if you will.

Yea for all you title track haters

 

are people hating on the title track? i havent really seen that. its just a meta joke instrumental.

 

Let me put it this way: it is a little peculiar to make the title track an interlude, not only that, but one that literally recycles a 5 year old riff.

Now obviously I don’t hate the title track, thats one of the best riffs anyone has ever written, it’s just weird.
(That said their reasoning is sound in my book)

 

yeah i get that i suppose. i just havent really seen anything that qualifies as hating on it, its pretty clearly not meant to be taken seriously and is just a fun little wink at the fans who are familiar with Junkies. even their reasoning seemed kinda funny like they didnt even mention the little repeated riff or their reasoning for putting it in there.

 

The only thing more glassjaw would be to make the riff even older

 

Glassjaw is a peculiar band.


It's a good thing.

 

it would be such a fucking riot to play bass for this band.

 

For. Real.

He does some REALLY cool bass lines on this.

 

People use the phrase “recycling the Riff” as if hearing more of that Riff is a negative thing. We should be saying “thank you Glassjaw for blessing us with the opportunity to hear more of the glorious Junkies riff, especially since we are so unworthy”

 

Did anyone get their physical copy today?
