Does it raise the bar? If you had to choose between them, you'd take <i>Messenger</i>?<br /><br />I guess all I'm saying is that I don't think he capitalized or advanced upon anything laid out in his EP (besides "How Good You Are"). I don't think it's a step forward and I don't think it's lateral either; different instrumentation makes me want to lean laterally, but I think, in the larger scope, that <i>Messenger</i> is a lesser work than his EP.Micahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14098148767783227970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290261569183323348.post-91747163833653680172010-09-01T18:59:14.418-04:002010-09-01T18:59:14.418-04:00It's not a terrible album, but it seems (to me...<b>It's not a terrible album, but it seems (to me) to be a step backward from the amazing tone set by Nation of Heat. </b><br /><br />I never said that I didn't like those songs, but none of those songs are fit to untie the sandals of any of the songs on the <i>Nation of Heat</i> EP (except maybe "Call It What You Will"). You're really going to put those songs head to head against "Hymn 35" or "Hymn 101" or "Nation of Heat"? The songs you listed are the "My Father's Drugs" of that album ... they're fine, but they don't seem to match the level set by "How Good You Are."Micahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14098148767783227970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4290261569183323348.post-61323038190192388652010-09-01T18:49:24.511-04:002010-09-01T18:49:24.511-04:00Here's a review of this review:
