pretty kick butt song for a monday..

i thinks mental jewelry had a raw feeling to it that none of their other stuff has touched. this album, though, was incredible in it's own way. haven't had any desire to buy anything of theirs after this one.

Exactly. Some songs just need to be retired from the radio, forever. I don't want to heat this any more, uh huh.

My thoughts exactly. I've tried to enjoy Live and their music, but this song annoys me....aquadonia wrote:

what the hell is this crap?

Man I hate these guys. Their first album was fun. After that they became my mortal enemies.

You downloaded the whole thing? Does Bill know about this? I would imagine he'd prefer streaming to one big download...

Yo, buddy, this channel's all about what's best, not what's been driven into your skull by mainstream radio. That's your baggage. Don't take it out on us (or Bill).

Still quite likeable in my book.

have not heard this tune for a long time.
it rawks big time!

Yeah, that's why I downloaded Radio Paradise. So I could hear this song for the 100 billionth time. Hey, could you play a whole bunch of Metallica too? Thanks.

It's a shame that they peaked so early (second album). They've actually released 4 or 5 albums since which by all standards are pretty decent, but none measure up to this one.

The lyrics are often a bit too heart-on-sleeve for me and sometimes just downright corny, such as this line from "The Dolphin's Cry":

The way you're bathed in light
reminds me of that night
god laid me down into your rose garden of trust

Rose garden of trust?! Is THAT what we're calling it these days?

I used to love Live when I was in college in the mid 90s. I think that they petered out in the sense that the lyrics got more trite and cliched as they went along. Although listening to the old songs today, I can understand why people didn't get into them.

Didn't know they were from PA. I'm from PA and I still don't like them.

I thought I'd accidently switched to some top 40 station. What the...?

I wish my volume went to eleven.

OK, so I'm biased since they're from my hometown of York, PA. Throwing Copper was a great album. Almost no bad songs on the whole disk.

Whatever happened to them?

Live when they were still good. I can't bear to listen to their latest albums

Yeah! It's not even good in a gumbo. Spare us, BillG, please!

Man this whole CD rocks. I don't think a single song should be below 6.4.

:puke: Spare me this tripe on RP!

If only their later stuff was as good as this..there is not a bad song on the whole CD, everything is of the finest quality. They do a pretty decent concert as well.. I secretly hope that they will have another release that measures up to this fine work.

I think Throwing Copper has got to be in the top 3 favorite cd's I own, along with Eric Johnson's Ah Via Musicom.

It's also one of my favorites. Kinda uneven in spots (for example, I always skip that first track about the unhappy otters), but still quite good.

One of the best albums ever. If you ask me. Which you didn't, but still.

Easy on the ride cymbal killer!
