Can we take a break from the Let It Be/Beatles posting and have a CKY thread? The 16 year old in me is pumped for the new album, but I have nobody IRL to talk with about it.
I'm mainly curious whether people are pleasantly surprised or disgusted by an iteration of the band sans Deron Miller and whether non-fans find this new material more/less interesting than the previous records. It felt very strange this morning to see CoS debuting a track from guys I'm used to people dismissing as "that Jackass band."
I will say that the production initially put me off. These some struck me as excessively mastered. It's a very loud album. It bothered me less with repeated listens as I picked apart the layers.
Evan Smith
Oh God, I'm having flashbacks to the Alliance forums.
Brayden Long
sounds like every other generic buttrock band. RIP CKY.
Nicholas Diaz
Care to elaborate? Nothing about it sounds generic to me. My first exposure to DoSD was on the radio and it stuck out like a diamond in the rough. I get much more of an 80s glam vibe than anything else, complete with gratuitous duelling solos at the end. You don't hear a lot of Moog on generic buttrock either.
David Sanders
if you put this song on for me without telling me what it was i would just think it was some generic rock band. it sounds nothing like cky. i also dont listen to music like this so maybe thats why i think its generic. im talking about head for a breakdown btw. dsod sounds more cky-ish but im not really feeling it. i miss deron ;-;
Samuel Baker
Sounds like Chad's solo album. Should be pretty good.
Andrew Thompson
Sounds horribly over-produced, the riffs are generic and Chad is on shit form here. Like it or not, they need Deron and Deron needs them.
Dylan Fisher
t. Deron Facebook fuccboi Explain to me what you think "overproduced" means.
I can see your point about Head For A Breakdown, even if I think the acoustic guitar stuff sounds very reminiscent of Volume 1. I disagree about DoSD. It sounds like a spiritual sequel in the Hellview saga. Replaceable has an even more classic sound to me, in terms of riffage. Personally, I'm having a lot of fun hearing a more danceable version of what CKY can do.
