Slough Feg = Pearl Jam

[NAD]

Been listening to lots of Slough Feg lately, with Hardworlder and a physical copy of Down Among the Deadmen showing up today. Traveller is becoming my favourite album, even if Brave Conner Mac still remains their greatest tune.

So, by accident really, I figured out how similar Slough Feg and Pearl Jam are. Both bands do the same thing, with obviously different results:

-go it alone attitude
-obscure riffs into traditional song structures
-twofold enjoyment, the base level is lots of fun but repeated listening brings about a level of incredible depth
-constant nods to the past, but existing solely in their own time
-Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town is a perfect anagram of The Lord Weird Slough Feg Kicks My Dick In

Also, in case anyone doubts the artfagginess of The Lord Weird Slough Feg:

No I don't expect anyone to agree with me, if I based my opinions on that I would've stopped talking altogether years ago.

ive been claiming Traveller as the best for years...yo.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

What's wrong with you people..."Traveller" severely lacks all the Slough Feg magic that is found in their other albums.

 

[swizzlenuts]

The Self Titled is easily their best

 

[General Zod]

Pearl Jam "10" = Brilliant
Pearl Jam - Remainder of Discography = Shit

Zod

 

[Nico]

I'll go ahead and agree that Traveller is the best. Everything else in this thread is probably lies though.

 

[Guthrum]

For me, Down Among the Deadmen is their best, followed by Twilight of the Idols, then Traveller and so on. And yes, Brave Connor Mac is one of their best tunes.

Riot Act is gaymazing, I shall upload.

 

[Demilich]

Twilight of the Idols is the best Slough Feg!

Except maybe the s/t because I need a cd or mp3s of it to listen to it more

Yeah, and the fact that Scalzi sounds just like Veder

Also, in case anyone doubts the artfagginess of The Lord Weird Slough Feg:

I don't know that "artfagginess" is the right term for going "all the way" with an oft-maligned entertainment concept.

 

[jimbobhickville]

Never liked Pearl Jam, sorry. Slough Feg for the win. And Traveller is indeed their best. The new one is growing on me, though. I might actually buy it after all.

 

[Demilich]

Ok, I got Hardworlder in the mail yesterday, listened to it twice in the car today on the way to/from work, and WOW!!!! The magic is back! This album flows better than Atavism... where I'll end up ranking it is yet to be seen.

Either way, the samples did no justice to the great songs on this disc.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Yeah, and the fact that Scalzi sounds just like Veder

Now that you mention it...holy shit. There really is a resemblence.

 

[Demilich]

How could Veder possibly sound like Mike Scalzi AND Scott Stapp (from Creed)?


I'm not sure I even want to know

I'm more concerned with you knowing that douchebag from Creed's real name. :zombie:

i keed. i keed

 

[Krilons Resa]

Obviously, I know that brotha. Dunno if Slough Feg would be your cup of tea at all but godamn if they arent the funnest band around.
