| 147.2 | Trivia from the trivial | CSC32::G_HOUSE | They call me Squid Head | Thu Jul 14 1988 01:53 | 4 |
| I saw some listing of the top selling rock albums on MTV last week
and F&J was number 1.

Note that they are also playing tomorrow
(Thursday) night at the Channel with Wargasm and
Fates Warning (yeah)!!!
I think their last album was better (Doomsday for
the Deceiver), but the newest is still great.

| 147.4 | F&J is O.K. | REPAIR::EDWARDS | WARNING-lawnmower on the loose | Thu Jul 14 1988 05:31 | 10 |
|
I must agree with -.1 that Doomsday was better, but this new
one is O.K. too. Everybody thought that after F&J lost Jason Newstead
to Metallica that the band would just hide in a corner and die.
Not so, this is a great album considering that newstead wrote
everything else the band's ever done. Erik A.K.'s vocals are a
bit painful on the ears sometimes, still a good speed band.

| -< F&J is very O.K. >-
I thought too, that the Flots would die after Jason Newstead went
to Metallica, but 'NO PLACE FOR DISGRACE' is one of the best
Speed-Metal Album I ever heard.

Great show at the Channel the other night. I
can't remember another metal show where I've had
as much fun and the band sounded as good (except
for maybe Manowar). F&J has to be one of the
best sounding live bands around. They sounded
like it was right off the album. Definately
blows Metallica, Anthrax and Megadeth away
soundwise and live 'abilitywise'.
|
| 147.7 | Yet another review for Flotsam & Jetsam | MILVAX::RENEE | Lil' Sister | Wed Sep 14 1988 14:55 | 21 |
| I think both albums kick butt!! They're excellent if you really
feel like annoying discotech-people or just feeling like banging
your head abruptly...
I cut down on the speed I listened to for a while. Got out of touch
with the speed metal. My buddy intro'd me to the new ballad off
'No Place for Disgrace', called 'Escape from Within'...AWESOME!
I love F&J's ballads anyway. I think 'Saturday Nite' is a riot!!
I can just imagine what EJ would say if he ever heard it!!!!
Yeah, they were a good show. My friend got some EXCELLENT pic's
of the band in action. She got right up on the side of the stage.
Definetly magazine material! We didn't see that much of them though.
They were supposed to go on at 11:45 and they went on at 11:30,
we were in the bar talking to Mikkey Dee, when I realized that they
were on stage! What a freak!!!
Definetly a good show, though. Anyone else go??

I love the album No Place For Disgrace!!! Someone was supposed
to make me a copy...ahem.
If they go more progressive ala where Testament has followed
Metallica, then great! I've been into that a bit more lately,
as long as they don't sound like Metallica. Let's just hope that
'less balls' doesn't come along with 'more progressive.'
know what I mean?
/Motorbreath...who sees a resurgence in progressiveness...as it's
died out lately, 'cept for Rush of course.

Well, I finally picked thier new one up. I don't know how long it's
been out but, it's cal "When The Storm Comes Down" I just bought it
yesterday so, I've only listened to one side. So far it's no "No Place
for Disgrace" but, I still have side two to listen to and I want to
give a few more plays before I make a definate opinion on this one. If
anyone in this area wants to pick it up, I got it at Good Vibrations in
Natick. Will try to give a review of the ablum in the next couple
days.

I think their new ablum is a flop! I'm really disappointed, I was
really looking forward to this ablum. The vocals kill this whole
album, not one song sticks out. I don't recommend this album at all.
But, if anyone is going to pick it up I'll sell it real cheap. - Kim
|
| 147.34 | | BINKLY::MINARDI | Truth and Soul | Wed May 16 1990 20:00 | 15 |
| Nah, the fact is that the band has seemed to go the
"progressive/polished" Metallica way of producing and writing, and
they're just not good at it. They are much more successful with
a moshier dirtier sound. The vocals are too "sweet" as if he's
trying to be a Geoff Tate or Bruce Dickinson, and he just doesn't
have it, also the vocals don't go well with the music.
The lyrics are weak, and I was bothered by the use of "f*ck"
for no apparent reason: it didn't go along with the songs because
there was no anger in the songs, so it sounds infantile and
embarassing when he said it.
Also, the whole album is VANILLA!!! There isn't ONE song with
any noticeable guitar or drum part, the whole album just blends
into one monotonous mish-mash of BLAH.
/Motorbreath...My opinion

DFTD was great!! I've been meaning to pick up
this new one, but haven't gotten around to it
yet. Maybe I'll wait for someone else to grab it
and listen to theirs. I'd buy yours, Kim, but I
recall, you don't own a CD player, and I hate
tapes... :')

I just got "No Place for Disgrace" from the CD club, but I
got it on tape. [Yuck!!]
I haven't heard it in awhile, but the other night I listened
to "Saturday ..." and "Hard On You". As Motorbreath mention-
ed in "What's Hot ...", the lead singer's got a GREAT voice.

Re: -< what happened? >-
Wonder if it's cuz Alex Perialas had a hand in producing it?
He worked with Anthrax on SOE (which I thought was marginal).
Anyone know who else he's worked with?
Whatever... someone decided to change something and it didn't
work! Like /Mike said before, it's as if they were trying to be the
Queensryche of thrash.

progressive music.

it's however very fine. I wish they go back to NPFD time.
