Old Git Young Gits Take On Between Dog And Wolf

[ottodeth]

OG - my take
YG - daughter and her friends take


1st off, the new album, unfriggingbelievable! NMA do it yet again and release another #1 album in my book.

theres been some talk of sound, EQ and over all meaning and vibe ... i wont get into all of that because a lot of it is up to us as individuals to interrupt for ourselves.

OG- My take on it is this wonderful piece of sound is: if the Price ep, the Acoustic ep and the Ballads ep all some how mixed their sonic DNA and had a album baby, it would grow up to be Between Dog and Wolf.

Brilliant.

YG - my daughter thinks is a great album and 5 of her friends agreed so much they went out to their local mom and pop shops this weekend and bought and or ordered copies. they range in age from 23-26. I'm hoping that gets back to the band proper in some sort of fashion, seems the youth of today might be ripe once again for some NMA.

Sonic issues. Ok if you bought the vinyl you wouldnt have any issue, mastering is spot on.

i think the cds is spot on also because the only stereo that can not take the bass the drums are pushing is my car. this is with the volume between 25-30 (goes up to 40) cant handle the bass the drummers are pushing too well, all i can hear is a bit of distorted vocals (from the bass (tone not instrument) waves) and  drums. play the cds in my stereo at home and yes there is a lot of bass but thats one of the reason i fell in love with NMA back in like 84 or 85.

want great sound peeps i tell you dust off that old turn table (for us old gits) and buy the vinyl and relax into NMA bliss, wonderful mastering on the vinyl.

cant express how grateful i am to Justin and crew for producing another piece of wonderment and making the investment to share it with the rest of the world.

they could just be hanging out together these days writing and jamming and not putting out records to share so im very appreciative that they will have the desire and energy to record and hopefully for us in the midwest of the US tour.

Nice to read that mate. It's great to hear the younger ones enjoying the new work. My 9 year old lad has about 20 NMA songs on his iPod and LOVES Rivers and High in particular. Caught him tapping away to March in Sept the other morning! My daughter hears them and says "Daddy is this New Model Army again?!" She's only 6

I love this!

I got into NMA when I was 26... introduced by my then 31-year-old boyfriend. I think they're the sort of music that transcends age and fashion.

Your child has good taste , "Rivers" and "High" are awesome songs from a brillant album!

i agree, the young people getting into it i really wanted to share, im thinking i cant be the only one with the same story. seems every time NMA issues a new album i can get at least one person into them that was unfamiliar for one reason or another, but they tend to be closer to my age group.

but it was just so, cool, their reaction, and i cant really convey their honest open excitement over the interweb unfortunately.

Thats very cool about your lil ones, i have a photo of my daughter, shes about 4 maybe 5 in the pic, i used to let her pick a piece of music to listen to everyday and almost every time is was Bob Marley and the Wailers, so one day to have the proof (coz no one believed me lol) i took a pic of her handing it to me, i guess thinking now that doesnt prove nada but we know the truth 

at about 10 she started gravitating towards Vengeance the Independent Story cd and TSOLs thoughts of yesterday album this of course mixed in the Mr Marley  Good kid  lol

the really cool part is over the past few years as shes become a young lady she's introduced her old man to a lot of cool stuff from folk to modern "hardcore" is Trash Talk and Ceremony ....

and next year shes moving away for college/start life away from dad, as insane as it is for ME to think this way, coz i raised her to be FREEEEEEE, im already bummed out at the thought.

The Government Issue lyric "i miss you even when you're here" pretty much sums it up for me.

had to laugh at your mention of your youngun as my daughter was raised on a steady diet of nma as well.  she was 4 when i first got thunder and consolation.  she's 27 now and while she listens to a lot of what i would consider garbage, nma is still one of her favorites.  in fact, a couple of years back we got to take her to the tiagd tour in seattle for her first gig.  she loved it!  as did we
