I recently got turned on to this record / band. I can't believe I didn't get into them sooner. They are great. And even the new record is great. I miss bands that sound like this.
After being on my playlist for months and only listening here and there on bike rides, this album is the only thing I listen to. This songs stick in my head and cant wait to ride my bike again lol
OhMyGod! I didn’t realise but this RU-vid video displays each track on the screen when you get to that track. I thought it was a still picture. That is so cool. 😎
Actually i’m here because currently i’m listening to their whole discography in order in Spotify, and indeed 99th Dream isn’t there 😬. All the rest of the albums are there
Beatlesque.. but with 27 more times the syrup, the trance, the sustain, the groove, the dreaminess, the poetic lyrics, the mesmerising churn, the lyrical guitars..........
i would rather say that this album is a futuristic hot rod fueled by psychedelic waves cruising trough galaxies beyond human perceptioooooooooooonnnnnn !!!!!!!!!
Probably missing from streaming more due to the various label's it ended up on. It's still on Amazon music but I keep my hard copies just in case. The excellent juggernaut rides compilation of all the ep songs (which is a couple of albums worth and the first ones are better than raise) has never turned up on streaming either sadly. Could never be without this band.
@@ForrestCokely So do I. But these days there are people who think Tame Impala are psychedelic!?!? The Swervies had the correct approach. It's a sensibility...and that can't be learned!
I play this kind of stuff for over-caffienated guitarists that think they have to do shred spaghetti stuff to show their skills. I say: :"Stop playing for your musician buddies. Play for the PEOPLE!" The great writing and arranging that happens in this particular band is an example of TASTE and TONE over "how many notes can I cram into this measure?". They are also TENACIOUS in their delivery - even at their most melodic "chick friendly". They satisfy the 3 tenets of ZZ Top's credo, and also King Crimson's "Craft Before Commerce" credo. This is a top notch band - I don't love them like they're my favorite, but I like 'em pretty good. I may grow to love them - especially if I meet a cute Millennialette. Please roast me for my Old Gen X guy attitude.
Jez doesn’t get enough credit. He’s a really good drummer. Now he’s like a lawyer or an attorney or something. Allmusic had the audacity to call him a wannabe, but I genuinely think he was one of the best drummers of the 90s
The bonus tracks on the first three singles are all non-album tracks and prove that 'Raise' could easily have been a double. I saw them twice and both times they were SO impressive! An awesome noise!
