MY MORNING JACKET "circuital" cd, 2011.
special thanks to Tiggi for "turning me on" to these guys twelve months ago....much appreciated mate!
got this one when it was first released and only just got round to giving it a couple of spins...SteveO mentioned it a while ago and thought it was either very good or brilliant from memory(please correct me if i quoted you wrong mate!)....
anyway, IMO this is their finest work to date and still sound like they are having fun doing it. this is more inline with their "Z" album in terms of melodies and harmonies than its predeccessor "evil urges"(which was also good btw).
these guys have had around seven albums now(cant quite recall the exact number, but i should as i have all their albums to date).
although their other albums are fine collections in their own right, this one uses less experimentation and pretty much goes back to basics for a nearly flawless collection of songs on a single disc, some of the tracks here exceed five and six minutes yet manage to hold my attention pretty well.
also these guys always seem to eclipse their studio recordings when performing live from what i have seen of them on dvd and tv....a truly great live act(Tiggi will testify to that as he has seen them live on tour with Neil Young)
these guys should be more popular than they are in terms of sales figures and chart placings...but quality material doesnt always sell in bucket loads as we are all aware!
i urge everyone to check out this one and because it is a back to rock basics album it is easily accessable as an introduction to MMJ!
you could pretty well pick any track/link here to listen to as they are all great songs.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
