It's Charles ya got be wary of. (Damn, ended a sentence with a preposition! Damn!) He'll always give a thumbs up for anything "estrogenic." Not true! It just seems that way because I don't usually take the time to badmouth the ones I can't get into. I should start channeling my inner Bob.

I got the new Of Monsters and Men CD a couple weeks ago, Beneath the Skin. Listened to a few times, and find it quite enjoyable, and the recording quality is very good. If you liked their first CD, you should like their second one as much, maybe even more. Similar style, but yet at the same time, I don't feel as if I'm listening to the same songs over and over again, which often happens with a band's second release.

... The new Muse is incredibly Musey. It's all the stuff you already liked, jacked up just a bit more; Led Zeppelin meets Queen meets Yes with bigger bottoms and waaay higher 16-track vocals... You really have a unique way of setting something up for disappointment. Led Zep. Really?? Waaay to commercial pop/rock sounding for that. And this from the guy that said Rock 'n Roll is dead... Not nearly complicated enough to qualify for a comparison to Yes either. Sorry, try again.

I liked their first CD and have been getting Facebook ads about the second one. I was wondering what the deal was on it. I suspect you described it perfectly. I'll give it a try.

There is no longer any Led Zep, Queen, or Yes. I don't mean that stuff literally. When I used the term, "Musey," I figured Muse fans would know what I meant. I think they did. If you ask Mr. Bellamy, he'll attribute it more to RATM.

OK, I'm gonna make this one REAL clear. If you don't like "fun.," forget it. If you do, they're on hiatus until...
So you don't have to wait. Nate Ruess' solo effort was released last week. It's pretty much the 3rd album. IF YOU ALREADY LIKE "fun.," you should like this as well, but not Fred.

I really fixated on those first two fun. albums at your suggestion. I still like many of the songs. But Nate's voice is starting to wear on me a little.
Since I'm going to see him in a couple weeks, I'm listening to the last three Robin Trower albums. They don't sparkle, yet, but it's early.

Gee, Fred, I think you and I are really pushing the boundaries of response times. Two major US Supreme Court rulings between our posts. If it's the 15 bucks, just tell me. ;-) (Oh no he di'int!)
Tom, if you are tiring of Nate's voice, do not, repeat do not, buy his new solo effort. His voice is oozing out all over it like a tipped-over can of polyurethane.
I can understand about the voice thing, but I'm still enamored of the writing and arranging so I'm still...
Wait! WTF!?!?! You listen to Rush and I'm about to go on about some one's voice getting to you?! ;-)
(Wouldn't be fair if Fred got one and not you. Yes, I AM off my meds, but just for the weekend, so don't go reading into things.)
(I'm kidding. If I were off my meds, they'd be looking in the woods of upstate NY for ME.)
