At the Drive-In Band • Page 7

didn't the band say they were playing shows just because of the money though?

 

In 2012 they did

 

It sounds like Cedric wants to carry on from exactly where they left off and Omar really doesn't. I'm not sure if either really work.

 

If it was just about money they would just play festivals every now and then.

 

Coachella was for money.

Read the interview, Omar sounds more than happy with the band currently, touring and recording

Omar Rodriguez-Lopez on Solo-LP Series, New ATDI Album

 

releasing a record on rise is about as close to a cash grab for a release that any of these legacy bands can muster

 

Rise works hard for their artists. I don't know why that is a bad thing.

 

please parse out for me where in there is said anything about it being good or bad

 

you sound like an angry reddit comment

 

Well the phrase "cash grab" isn't exactly a ringing endorsement of a band's integrity

 

This sounds like ATDI but 15 years older. I can get down

 

Sorry wasn't trying to put words in your mouth, just the term cash grab usually has negative connotations of being a record just for money and none of the band members caring too much about it.

 

1. this was good, but not o.g. atdi level good; I felt something is missing - I wonder if it has to do with Jim being absent or just they moving on

2. lyrics are cringe worthy but not in the typical Cedric kind of way, feels like he tried to write something more straightforward this time and it suffers from it

3. I am still excited to give the whole album a spin tho

 

I really really dig this. I'll take anything new from Omar and Cedric, this seems like it'll rule.

 

Lyrics are kinda bad, I agree with that... but eh whatever.

 

Not sure I've ever heard "cash grab" used without at least some implication of those things tbh

 

Have to give it a few more listens but it's at a like-level already for me. Prob not classic but that's ok, this is a start. Also I was reading the lyrics as it was going on and just smiling, I love how nonsensical they are.

 

I dont give a fuck if it's for the money or not, this song sucks so they're not grabbing my cash anytime soon #hottake

 

chris, be careful of saying anything negative on this website, you might get called a reddit commenter.

 

Lol dogg no one is giving you flack for not liking the song, and that is exactly the kind of comment you would give someone else shit for if it was a band/song you enjoyed

 

See: above

 

There's ways to dislike something and talk openly about it with discussion, and then there's this. It's not contributing to any discussion, except for you saying it's a cash grab because of Rise.

 

Hmm....It's ok...I'll listen to the album, but I agree with a previous statement..

 

No way at all. This is similar to Antemasque for sure, but TMV? Hell no

 

It's missing Jim Ward's yell. Other than that, I can't complain about it. Thought it was good.
