FunkyMonk Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Ok, so I've had American Beauty for a few weeks now, and I've listened to it a hell of a lot and I'm not over it even the slightest. It's amazing, all the songs are fantastic. My favourite song is def. Box Of Rain, it's perfect.Also, can someone PLEASE tell me what song sounds like Ripple, I swear to god that I have heard another song before that is the exact same as it. I don't think I'm crazy.So apart from American Beauty, are any of their other albums worth getting, because I don't really want to "ruin the magic" of how good this album is by getting a crappy album by them. Is there any albums that are a little more "rock n roll"? Because I think that would probably be the biggest divergence in their sound that would be cool.

FunkyMonk Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 I think a live album of long jams might put me off . I generally don't like jam-bands. These guys are so mellow though, everytime I listen to them in the car I nearly drift off into mellowness and close my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindy Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I don't love jamming-bands either, only in concert.However, Live Dead is a good album I think, I enjoy listening to it.But my favourite is Aoxomoxoa (I hope I remember the title right ), because it has great songs like St. Stephen and Mountains of the Moon. Amazing album really.You want this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
