The Garden EP Options

[SJN1279]

I just purchased via Itunes. I'm really liking what I hear so far. Really digging the Lennon cover in particular(it was the only song I didn't hear). Listening to The Garden remix now and its' awesome too.

Excited to hear it live? Cool, that's fine. Some of his best work ever?

Never. Never ever. Not in a million years. That notion is, in all possible ways, completely factually incorrect. They say opinions can't be wrong... well, they can. Evidence above.

Best work ever?
I have to admit i like some songs of the EP, but best work ever?????????????
Come on Nick. Don't compare this EP to Live's first 4 albums.

Politicians will say or lie about anything to get a vote. Or in this case, someone to be stupid enough to buy an Ed album.

I have now listened to The Garden. I wasn't going to, but the curiosity got the best of me. I thought there was no way that it could be as laughable and cringe-worthy as some people have said. I thought there must be some exaggeration going on here.

But I just don't know what to say about it. There is no way that anyone associated with that mess should be proud. I am actually glad that Ed released that. I have no idea what is wrong with Ed. But whatever it is, this underscores, highlights and posts a neon sign around what is wrong with Ed. This album is so bad it doesn't even seem like a legitimate album. It is like one of those fake commercials on Saturday Night Live that is made to look like a real commercial, but it is just funny. This is so bad, that it is funny. Ten seconds into the first song I hear "Oh I know, dirty water's easier to find, in the desert when you're thirsty". I literally peed a little bit in my pants from laughing. The Rise Remix starts with "Ohhh! Ed Kowalczyk!" The music and drums on Mind Games is like some canned background music you could find in Garage Band on a Mac. Where is the inspiration and artistry? Make the song your own with some sort of creativity. That is a complete piece of sh*t. And he has the nerve to make fun of Chad Gracey?!?! You've got to be kidding me! This is just shameful. I agree, it is no wonder CCP doesn't want him associated with the name Live. Talk about diluting the brand! The Garden is Exhibit A.

Where is the bottom for The Eddie K.? When does this guy hit bottom for Pete's sake? In the same week, he is bilking the fans for "limited edition" lyric sheets for $50 a pop, and releasing this laughing-stock as an album. This is lower than I could have ever imagined in 2009.

P.S. I know that I said that I wouldn't waste my time listening to this album at all. But I did. Maybe that makes me a hypocrite. But I just had to see what all the fuss is about. The folks over at WhiteDiscussion are having a field day with this. And I must say, I am glad I listened to it. The entertainment value was more than I could have wished for. But not for the reasons Ed must have been hoping for. It was so bad that it is entertaining. I recommend that everyone listen to this album. The whole world should become aware of what Ed is doing. It speaks for itself.

I saw those lyric sheets today on his site. Okay, if you're selling the a copy of the ORIGINAL lyric sheet, for say, 5 or 10 bucks - fine, that's a cool keepsake.

But unless he wrote the song perfectly the first time and never made a lyric change (go see the sheets), all this looks like is someone writing out the lyrics on a piece of paper (not necessarily Ed) and charging 50 bucks for it. 50 BUCKS?!?! I've never written in all caps on this forum, but c'mon - 50 BUCKS?!? For handwriting on paper?

I figured someone had to actually be honest to Ed about this EP:



Side note: I wonder how long it'll take for Nick to delete my honest post.
