This time, it’s red. I just don’t think they’re even trying anymore. I read a review of their last one that said it was so bad it’d make you retroactively hate their good stuff (ie, “Blue” and “Pinkerton”). They were right. I heard part of a song on the radio, and ended up retro-hating 2/3 of “Blue”! But this news makes me have a fully charged retro-hate-on. It’s so bad I now hate Rivers’ second grade teacher.

If you need a Red Album to rock out with, may I suggest:

  • King Crimson: The title track shreds like a corrupt accountant
  • Loudermilk: Glam bam thank you ma’am? Yes!
  • Baroness: Nothing rocks harder than this. I’d have bought the CD even if it just had the first two songs. Has the best (red-themed) album art: an Alphonse Mucha in hell type thing.

Speaking of color-themed/self-titled albums, someone should to a tribute to the mother of them all: The Beatles’ “White Album”. But instead of calling it “The White Album”, they should call it “The Beatles”. Oh, the lawsuits it would bring!

Speaking of self-titled albums, I’ve always thought that when a band/artist released a self-titled album late in their career, it was a sign they were in creative trouble. They’re trying to “redefine” themselves or something.
