Official "A Different Kind of Truth" Album Review Thread

[ELVIS]

The youtube comments are kick-ass as well...

[ELVIS]

I understood the concept. OK?

But said fuck it...

[Sensible Shoes]

Besides, weren't you just hitting on me last night?

Or was I hitting on you? I can't remember.

[Sensible Shoes]

But said fuck it...

Quite literally!

Hey, I love the fucking heavy songs so fucking much...

But having had Blood and Fire for quite a few days on my computer and iphone...I dunno man...

That song is so fucking good it brings tears to my eyes at times...

Dave is so fucking strong that you totally forget it's that Ripley song underneath...

It's not just that for me it really brought home what a fucking amazing song writer he is.

For him to take that music and come up with that vocal melody is close to genius.

Oh yeah I just pressed play!!!!!!!!!!!!! My God!!!!!!!

You guys suck !! Isn't this an American band !!?? Just kidding. Enjoy. I'm already sold on what is out.

Man, the whole album kicks ass but HoneyBaby just has this thing to it that I haven't been able to really find the right words for yet.....Just so powerful and cosmic....I think people just have to hear it to really understand the feel of that particular tune. Really catches you off guard and kicks your ass untill it ends....definitely a dark tune...I don't know why, it certainly doesn't have the same pace or beat but it reminds me of One Foot Out The Door.

i'm on my 4th listen... HBSD seems to be tuned down to C, and there's lots of weird phrygian dominant/harmonic minor going on with an octaver.

[Whorehey]

Nobody is cooler than Dave led Van Halen.

Is it me, or at the end of the solo in "Blood and Fire" does Dave yell "Hollaback"?

I feel you on this one bro....I absolutely enjoyed every tune for different reasons. Blood And Fire just feels and sounds like what we were suppsed to hear after 1984....kinda takes you back mentally to that point in your life...IMO anyway....definitely brings on some emotion listening to it....that's a tune you can easily hear getting regular radio aiplay along side CVH tunes we have been hearing on the radio for the last 30 + years.

Y'know I always wondered if some of Ed's problems on the 2007-8 tour had to do with the songs being tuned down for Dave's voice. Anybody else have thoughts on that?

Ed's problem was he was fucking wasted.

It's time to shut the lights, strap on the headphones and listen to this cd AGAIN.........Goodnite all you cool fuckers of the Roth Army.

[ThatArtGuy]
