- These are some of the albums you suggested that I review based on your comments from a previous video. This is the first part of a series, so if you requested an album review and it's not in this video, chances are it will be in a future one. I review albums from Alice Cooper, Mr. Bungle, Death Valley Girls, Agent Orange, and more!
I laughed my ass off when I looked up Reachin and he sounded exactly like your impersonation 😂😂 also, it did NOT put me in a trance 😂
That super8 is hilarious! (my family was like that too).
Robert was like "give me that!"
Angry small Robert needs to be a meme on the channel 🤣
Psychederek is laughing his ass off.
You'd be right! That's what I was hoping would happen.
Thanks for the Boston Tea Party album review. I found a copy of it back in the late 1980s or early1990's and have not put a needle to it yet. I'll have to find the You Tube video of the album that you listened to and check it out for myself...
I recommend all the Death Valley Girls albums. I really love their first Street Venom and Under The Spell Of Joy from 2020.
Congratulations on 15 grand!🎉🍾
Congrats! Great channel!
Love the old Xmas video clip ! 😂
Wild to me you've never run across that Iron Butterfly album before, used to be one I couldn't avoid in the bargain bins!
"How are you gonna just be dismissive of ruffles?" 😂 this is what kills me
congrats on 15 k subs fun video
Thanks!!
Congrats on the 15 grand Robert. Well deserved...
Thanks Bobby
I'm really glad you reviewed the Boston Tea Party l.p. That was a UA-cam discovery for me. Here in the U.K. they're pretty tough to get your hands on (it wasn't released here - like so many other gems) but I managed to get one on Discogs from the only U.K. seller on there. These days its getting more and more expensive to buy from overseas and harder to find the records you want for sale at home. I was very lucky there. Its a really good album full of melodic pop psych. Like you say, the organ is present throughout which is fab! Its nice to have. I'm pretty sure mine is the MGM pressing. Happy listening Robert, cheers...
When it comes to Alice your thoughts are mine ... great video !
Living In Darkness is a skate punk classic by Agent Orange 🍊! " I Lost My Sense , I Lost Control , I Lost My Mind ! "
Awesome 15K! Bee Thousand by Guided by Voices, they created lo-fi as a genre, still going strong and touring after 100+ albums GBV and related side projects, I have almost all of them!Robert Pollard is the genius that is GBV, written over 3000 songs and band is still killing it live, saw them just last month, my 33rd time. Check it out! Love ur channel
Alien lanes!
Bubble Puppy turned into later kick ass band Demian,well worth checking out.
Congratulations on the 15 thou. You'll be at 50 thou soon. Cheers.
Damn. I meant to get your review of Nickelback’s …..
Metamorphosis is one of my all around favorite albums. Mike Pinera raised the bar on guitar playing for the band.
I’ve always been impressed with how Mike Patton could sing the song “Squeeze Me Macaroni”. That has got to be one of the fastest lyrics ever.
I no longer collect vinyl. I sold all my records. I Don't listen to many of the bands you do. I despise funkadelic-type music on a Steely Dan level, but here I am enjoying every dang video you make. Congrats on 15k.
Alice Cooper’s You and I is a great ballad, that even Sinatra appreciated (according to Alice Cooper’s Monsters and Mascara CD)
Islands in the Sky is a little different to the earlier albums. They are really good. There is a good rooftop gig of them on UA-cam if I remember right that's amazing. Richie also put me onto them, I think he may be their manager lol.
Thank you for reviewing my recommendation. I'm glad that you were not aware of it. So now you know, and yes it's not mindblowing but it's a decent album indeed.
The thing that struck me when I got the R2R was the sound quality of the recording.
And I got to say: you absolutely nailed the voice or Arcesia... (I pause the video and went to give it a quick listen). Spot on.
(ps: and yes you got my name perfectly. not so easy here in the US so appreciated)
Thanks!! I also noticed the sound quality was excellent.
The Bubble Puppy album is definitely a good one, but I also missed my opportunity to get a vinyl copy. No way I'm paying that much!
Hopefully, when it's not so hip, prices will go back down.
Mr. Bungle's latest album The Raging Wrath Of The Easter Bunny Demo just kicks ass. All their albums are on vinyl now.
I have the live version, I like it better than the studio one. The way they slide into the cover of Summer Breeze is great.
I believe the S/T album was released on a vinyl picture disc in 1990. I suppose someone could look it up if they gave a damn.
@@bobsimpson9068 Actually it was 1991. Not 1990. I supposed you could have looked that up if you gave a damn.
That's not a talk box. It's called, a voice bag. I have no idea why. Joe Walsh used it in "Rocky Mountain Way" too. It, basically, shoves the sound of your instrument into your mouth and you can change the sound by changing the shape of your mouth. Whether your vocal chords have anything to do with it, I don't know.
I came across a late 60s album at an antique store called The Cherry People. Do you have any thing by them / Anything by Iron Butterfly is good but they killed their game by not progressing heaver like they were with song In a GadDa Vida ..Black Sabbath took it and ran with it..
I just have a Cherry People single with a picture sleeve, but I've heard the whole album.
@@RobertFithen They sound very radio friendly oriented for that time ..I was expecting some psychedelic sounds
Thank you for reviewing Agent Orange. I really fell in love with that album this past year.
I do have a couple suggestions. They are punk, not sure how you’d feel about them but…
Suffer by Bad Religion and/or Punk in Drublic by NOFX. These are more in the 90s Skatepunk realm
I've heard both of them. I definitely prefer "Suffer".
@@RobertFithen I’m more of a NOFX guy but love both albums.
Vicious Cycle by The Zero Boys might be up your alley. 80s Indiana punk along the lines of Black Flag. Seeing them next weekend
Part of the reason the Bubble Puppy album was in bad shape was because of the way it pressed. Even brand new copies can look like they were previously owned and slightly beat. Maybe it'd do you well to check out which pressing plant made the album. Some plants just don't care. Apparenting AI didn't, either.
It's the same plants that did MGM releases.
@@RobertFithen It depends. Smaller labels tended to have their stuff pressed by quite a few different plants, partly to save money on shipping the actual records to the places they wanted it distributed. A lot of plants did their own distribution so, the labels would send the masters to plants, let each one press and distribute in their area and it saves the label an ass-kickin' in postage sending cases of records all over the country. MGM had a lot of plants press their stuff, too. Monarch, Columbia (mostly in Nashville), I think they had RCA press some, Specialty, Rainbo, United, etc..
A quote lifted from 45cat on the Bubble Puppy single: "The record broke open so fast that poor Lelan Rogers had to farm out pressing to plants he didn't ordinarily use. There must be 15 variants on this."
Even Columbia's New Jersey plant got in on the action.
Congratulations 🎉
Not even sure how I knew about it, but I had Metamorphesis on vinyl and cd (both early versions) long before Mike Pinera being in the band represented more than just a name.
Your talkbox imitation is worth the price of admission here.
I just listened to the American Revolution and it's not a bad album at all! Except for 3 or 4 songs, nothing to write home about but, I wouldn't call it a terrible album by any stretch of the imagination. I've had "Opus #1" in my psych collection for over 20 years (I'd love to get more psych like that!!) and it looks like I'm gonna be adding 2 more of their songs to it, now.
Well, I don't know if you've heard of them but I recommend the Satelliters, particularly Hashish or What's Up With Timothy Dee. Brilliant garage act from Germany although they had an American label for a long time. 1966 never ended for them
Congrats on the 15k subs
I always want to recommend american listeners some Dutch bands. One of my favorite albums from the Netherlands is The Gathering - Mandylion
But if i would like an opinion on a European album, i choose Belgian band dEUS - in a bar under the sea, that one is so diverse and i like it more than something like ok computer.
Have fun getting to 20k🙏
Great video that was super fun and by the way, Mr. bungle is on Vinyl they re-issued it on the Music on vinyl label a few years ago when I picked it up it’s always a crazy listen! northern New Jersey loves you :)
The Music on Vinyl press of Disco Volante is a terrible pressing. Shame, it’s my fave from them
Does it have the parralel track onside 1 that the original warners oressing had?… and yes the original is not awesome sounding and the original 7 inch bonus of platypus was noisy
@@therealbushboy6440 it sounds like they just used the cd as a master and no the double grooved song is the same as the cd and platypus is missing. the output is very low and every crackle is super loud. still glad to have a copy in the collection.
Other good songs by Iron Butterfly… Posesion snd the iron butterfly thee onthe heavylp
Been a while my brother love agent orange but not there best great to see U still at it any chance of doing review of adolescents or dead Kennedys any LP of either take care peace and love lloydy
Love me some Mr. Bungle. The self titled and California are awesome. Disco Volante is cool but not a frequent listen. Some of their 80s demos have some stuff that is worth a listen too. Important stuff to my development of my musical tastes in my early 20s. Them and Ween.
I'm much more familiar with Ween.
You always review some great albums. I bought the punk 45 comp" kill the hippies". Have you ever come across a band, Clockhammer? I found both their CDs at Pic'n Save off all places. Very ecclectic trio. Mostly rock but they branch out a little mid song. I just found their self titled on vinyl last week. Have a great week.
Thanks! I haven't heard any Clockhammer.
The Arcesia recommendation was totally a WTF pick, on purpose. That's one of those rare records that I can't believe people are scavenging for (particularly some overseas collectors I know). Not a fan of this one...at all. I wouldn't even pick up the Guerssen copy if I spotted it somewhere. I might've mentioned it in a video years ago, but no way do I own it. I just wanted the Fithen impression of Arcesia's, and I got one! 😆All in fun.
Considering how literal of a person I am, people probably think I actually like this one cause I recommended it.
It's definitely the most fun part of the video. Thanks for that.
Hey Robert. Have you ever thought of reviewing Steely Dan's 1977 album "Aja"?
Sorry. I am only kidding. LOL! :)
Can you review "Strawberry Alarm Clock", Incense and Peppermints?
May I suggest 2 albums to review
Heatwave- Too Hot to Handle
(First outing in songwriting from their keyboard player who must be the most unknown successful songwriter of all time)
UB40 -Signing Off
The thing that people miss with Mr Bungle while being distracted by their manic music is just how accomplished they are as musicians, the dudes can play.
Congratulations on the 15 thousand. You deserve it.
F.Y.I.: The band Orpheus is from actually from Massachusetts, if you want a New England band that is from New England. I knew the late bass player from Orpheus.
I have their debut self-titled album.
I love watching channels like this because it inspires me to pull out and play the ones I have. By the way, Try listening to "Monster Magnet - Dopes to infinity", I would like to hear your opinion of it.
I could tell my story of managing a Monster Magnet/ Buckcherry concert. The one and only concert I've tried that with.
Robert, congratulations on 15k subscribers. Jeff Beck uses the Talkbox nicely on ''She's A Woman'' from the ''Blow By Blow'' album. Bob Heil died in Feb. , 2024, he was not as well known as Owsley but he brought the Magic. Mike Patton's Ipecac Recordings label released the best Ennio Morricone compilation, ''Crime And Dissonance'', which does not include any of his well- known ''Spaghetti Western'' tracks.
Since I am in the IL Metro-East of St Louis, Bob Heil is fairly well-known around here. He showed up at a local radio scanner convention just a month or so before his death.
Robert lookin good 👀
-Hot Smoke And Sassafras in stereo is a MUST on headphones. Every instrument is panning throughout the whole track.
--Mr. Bungle was a favourite for a minute, but I eventually got out of the hospital...
--You have Nucleus? Cool! I just uploaded All About Me And The Spidery Bass from my OG. (I was FB friends with Greg F until I dropped FB a few years ago)
I"m not sure if you've ever heard of these guys but if you have the time how about a review on The Young Fresh Fellows,..the album is The Men Who Loved Music. They were an 80's outta Seattle, before all that grunge nonsense.
Does anyone ever listen to side 1 of Innagaddadavida?
I love early Iron Butterfly so I listen to the first 4 consistently and that definitely includes side 1
14:33 ouch!!!
Putting ruffles on is neither something I've ever done nor is it going on my bucket list. Not without a parrot and a sword is where I am on that!
Lookin hunky in that tee sir
"Stone Believer" is probably the standout track from Metamorphosis. Lee Dorman and Larry Reinhardt went on to Captain Beyond after that. Also love the Agent Orange and Alice Cooper Goes To Hell, which I purchased at age 16 in 1976. It is a concept album of Rock, Disco, orchestral pomp and great guitairs, but the songs seem to be out of order a bit in telling the story.. "Didn't We Meet", "Guilty", and "Wake Me Gently" are great tunes also, with the latter having a Wizard of Oz, sort of vibe! Enjoyed 🤓Thanks.
Never thought about the songs being out of order. You may be onto something.
I have actually seen a lot of copies of Metamorphosis over the years. I guess they were bigger here in the northeast US. Never heard it, though.
The echoey vocals on DVG albums ramp up as their discography progresses. I think they're actually dialed back a bit on Islands In The Sky, relative to its immediate predecessor. I recommend either Glow In The Dark or the recent remix of their debut, Street Venom, as a next step. They're drier and darker.
I figured with a name like Death Valley Girls that they had darker origins. I will check those out.
I want you to roast rock bands that you hated playing on the radio.
Hi, if I'm not too late for the requests I would like to suggest the Norwegian band Barbie Bones and the album "Death in the Rocking Horse factory" from 1992. It's kinda punk/rock psych. Would be real fun to hear youre thoughts!
Congrats on 15K! Do you think "Only Women Bleed" is a ballad?
Yes
@@RobertFithen you said you like the Alice Cooper Band. Ever hear the first 2 albums?
try Yoko Ono and John Zorn Live in The Greene Space, only a song
I never runderstood the cover art for AC Goes to Hell. Why did they simply reuse the headshot from inside Billion Dollar Babies?!?
lol I never even realized that.
I unsubscribed to ruin the party. Subscribed again..party is over.
Uh oh! You said "essentials". I thought you told us to ignore when people say something is essential. I have the DVD of Guns N' Roses 1992 in Tokyo and Slash has a solo performance with him using a talk box, but it might be a "newer" version of it because I don't see a tube, but he definitely is using his mouth.
Garage rock was EARLY `60's and The Boston Tea Party were a psych band, not a garage band.
We Have Already Died. That's not on my copy of Orphan Egg.
Check out illmo smokehouse local Quincy Illinois band
Stay away from those Plain Recordings pressings of the Bungle albums. Shouldn't have to explain why now. Also, that album would be a lot shorter if they took out all the filler stuff. Like that whole train yard thing.
I think they were just trying to fill a 74 minute CD. I think a lot of bands were doing that in 1991.
"Alice Cooper Goes to Hell" should have been titled "Alice Cooper Boring as Hell". Alice lost me as a fan.
My mom didn't drive. One day she asked me to take her to her garden club. No problem! I decided to put Bowie's "Space Oddity" which is relatively mellow in the car's eight track so as not to offend my mom.
"That sounds like a girl!" was her first quip.
"Aw, don't like that mom? Well, hows about this?"
"Billion Dollar Babies" gets popped in and switch to track 4 "I love the Dead!" and crank that sucker.
End of "music critique" and all other conversation for that matter.
Would you please rank the Sex Pistols albums, from worst to best?
That Arcesia album cover is lame. If you can't sit and study the album art while you listen it probably ain't psych.
congrats on the 15K "were not worthy , were not worthy"...can you please review ktels, ktels , ktels and more ktels. Not just what they are treat it like an actual review or the new WalMart release of Matchbo 20
I will.
