  • @RootzRot
    @RootzRot Před 11 lety +5

    Popcorn is actually one of the best off the album. I don't think you get a picture of their ways and concept. It's fkn profound and original and I think it goes along a continuum from "build a nation". It's even more mature. I think they got the sound exactly how they wanted it... Yeah they're not in their 20's anymore, nonetheless they're still way ahead of their time. All I know is this album really gives me the chills and to be over-analytical on the details doesn't allow one to just feel it.

    • @vivimos_en_una_sociedad7758
      @vivimos_en_una_sociedad7758 Před rokem

      Im fact, it was written when they were younger. It appears on a live album from 2001 called soul brains a bad braind reunion. So its cool they finally gave it a proper studio recording.

    @TheEvilWarlordZarcotimas Před 11 lety +10

    It's his opinion. Music is subjective.

  • @vivimos_en_una_sociedad7758

    Actually that popcorn song is from late 1999 early 2000. It appears on a live album from 2001 called "Soul brains: a bad brains reunion" since they didnt have the rights to the bad brains name at that point, but still. Its way older than this album, so it wasnt written with them being so old in mind. In fact i think its pretty neat they finally gave it a proper studio version for this release.

  • @KnotDaniel
    @KnotDaniel Před 11 lety

    I agree on the most part.
    but i do not hate the guitar tone,
    the only saving graces are the reggae/dub songs like jah love, just because how catchy that synth bass line is
    It is messily written and thrown together, but it does stay true to the self titled album, just modernised,
    so on that basis i would say that it would be an okay starter bad brains album, even though it will never beat the sel titled

    I got into Bad Brains early on, after reading a very negative review that called them, among other things: " just another punk band". The reviewer was heavily into Frank Sinatra and Barbara Streisand. Understanding the tragic shortsightedness and closemindedness of the reviewer, I ran to buy Bad Brains.
    When you seperated yourself from Bad Brains albums, you should have also seperated yourself from reviewing progressive punk bands like Bad Brains ! Seven songs from Back to the future are masterpieces. How could you fail to acknowledge the greatness. Did you really listen to the songs ?!? Did you listen to them on an outdated cheap stereo speaker? Did you listen to them with a mindset that was ready to perceive and appreciate innovation?

    It's so hard to sit here and listen to this review, and realize that I agree with it. Bad Brains has been in my top 5 since early elementary school, around 1st grade. I'm 18 now. It sucks to see one of most, if not THE most, influential punk band ever fall like this. But it's been a steady decline since I Against I like Anthony says. What's that saying about all great empires fall? That's how I feel about this. It's sad but true.

    A once mighty band that has fallen from grace......and its so sad to see :(
    Where is the power that gave us 'Pay to Cum' , 'Banned in D.C' and 'Attitude'? I dunno, but like you Anthony, I parted ways from hardcore around 1994 (Fugazi excepted), because like death metal and black metal, for music that is meant to be 'radical', these genre's are so deeply conservative and linear that it just ain't fun any more.
    Which is why PiL is better than the Pistols.....

    Talking about H.R.'s vocals. I don't know if you know this, but he has bipolar disorder and is on some weird medication all the time and has been for about 15 years, so he's a bit like Brian Wilson in that he's is not right in the head, which is why he's a bit off on this album. I do agree however that Bad Brains and Rock for Light are their best works.
