Ah Texas!!

Sounds like something I'd listen to. If Merle Haggard was on the mic.

Dangerous Tonight
Prettiest Cop On The Block (acoustic)
Reflected

Had a friend go for me while he was visiting there a decade ago. Brought me back a CT guitar pick, popcorn bag and menu.

In my top ten. Cannot emphasize how excellent this album is. Great melodies, fond memories.

Damon Johnson's interview was the best, from years ago. The Merle Haggard question posed to him was particularly good.

Reflected
Shoe Salesman

But I think some of the best times were right here on this forum. Especially when we were making fun of Shoesalesman and doing everything in our power to make Sparky laugh so hard that whatever beverage she was drinking at the time come out of her nose. Agreed, MrD. This is where I remember him the...

Thanks to Si's advice years ago, I gave it a listen and loved it. Worth checking out if you haven't done so already.

Shoey, is Dragontown bottom of your list because of 1 particular song or is it the whole album? The album IMO lacks cohesion, stability. The good songs (and there are three or four really good quality ones) are balanced with "meh" ones, with Deeper dragging the whole thing down. The album is polari...

1. Brutal Planet
2. Dirty Diamonds
3. W2MN
4. Paranormal
5. TEOAC
6. ACAS

7. Dragontown

3 and 4 could be switched, depending on the week.
Don't like Dragontown touching the others.

Was there to buy a watch battery and an aquarium pirate-ship. Then saw a Johnny Paycheck Classic Years CD, THEN saw Paranormal. Everything was coming up Shoey that day.

Picked up my copy at Walmart. Walmart.ca has it listed. That's in Canada tho.

No problem with W2MN. Solid songs, well mixed. Good variety, diversity. Gets regular play.

While I don't agree with your first sentence, I definitely agree with your second.

I'll give a better assessment if I can find time, but overall the album is good. Not sure if I'd put it above or below Welcome 2 My Nightmare, but it's in the same league in terms of lyric & riff quality. Don't have a problem with the mix or production on Paranormal; the passage through seems well-l...

If Ezrin plucks a pube, it would have more talent than I'd ever be able to harness in my lifetime. Nuff said.

1) Dragon Town: Deeper. Plod plod plod plod..

You're giving it too much credit.

I personally don't know anybody who rushes to the record store (we have one left in our area) to buy any new release. Our local Best Buy does not even carry cds other than a bargain bin near the registers. While I understand that CDs are the way of dirt now, I'll go out of my way to find a hard-cop...

Dragontown (Deeper)

X10

Been holding a steady "not going to listen to anything until the new album is in my hands" torch. I know nothing about the album other than the cover and the title. All I have to decide is if I want the CDs or CDs + shirt.
