I think we all read the jacket of Under the Table...and maybe, just maybe, gave REK a kitchen pass on this one. Folks, Milican was not Reckless' first release, as Mr. Keen indicates. Maybe that should have clued in the hardcore's that the fix was in. This album is an album I think had to be made. There was buzz about the band after Milican's success, and quite possibly the band believed some of the hype. The resultant egotistical romp is Under the Table..Good. Now it is out of their system and they can shove Kerouac in the closet and the string section up Pat Green's ass and follow up a truly phenomenal effort in Milican. These guys have talent, a bunch of it. However, I really like the Black Crowes, too.
"Under The Table" is their best album to date. I thought "Millican" & "Live @ Stubbs" were great, but "The Day" was kind of a letdown. They redeemed themselves with this one, every song's a winner.
not only does the music kick ass but willy is SO hot and so easy on the eyes!!!!!!! i dont think i have taken the new cd out of my trucks cd player except maybe to put in live at stubbs or micky and the motorcars. i try to get to every show in the san antonio/austin area. i guess thats it. so get off your arse and go by the new cd or any of their cd's for that matter.
ill probably get life and serve at least 40
Incredible CD! I feel after the highlight track Vancouver, the CD drops a little, but regardless, it was amazing and a very nice surprise! Rock On!
Holy Crap what a great album! One of those happy music accidents - found these guys while looking for something else. Every song is a winner. Feels like lush cowboy poetry. Can't wait to check out their previous work.
Very fun music, in the tradition of Cross Canadian. They sing about stalking exes, meth addicts, suicide and prositution, then cover Bob Dylan. Cool man.
This is hands down the best album I have bought all year. I listened to the cd straight for about 2 weeks and took it out only long enough to realize that I should put it back in.
Right on with a great band that's based in Texas that DOESN'T shove Texas and Oklahoma down your throat. They just rock and roll - what a concept. The sky is the limit with these guys. Keep on keeping on RK!
