Album Analysis, Throwing Copper Options

[Hoodstock]

Since Live is wrapping up and the board members are attacking each other, I thought it would be a good idea to provide a place to discuss Live's work. And a good place to start with their work is Throwing Copper.

The Idea - Analyze the album (in this case Throwing Copper) song by song, stating whatever you want or whatever comes to mind about each song. Go into as much or as little detail as you want and then summarize your overall thoughts on the album at the end. Just speak your mind openly. If there is a lot of feedback, we can do it again with another album at a later time.

You can copy and paste the following to make it easy if you want:

1. The Dam At Otter Creek

2. Selling The Drama

3. I Alone

4. Iris

5. Lightning Crashes

6. Top

7. All Over You

8. Shit Towne

9. T.B.D.

10. Stage

11. Waitress

12. Pillar of Davidson

13. White, Discussion

14. Hidden Track (Horse)

Overall Summary:

1. The Dam At Otter Creek

ooh, we're in for a hell of a ride

2. Selling The Drama

okay, two in a row, surely it cant maintain

3. I Alone

where the shit did that come from? Freakin awesome. I love how the bible thumpers take this song and interpret it to mean something its not. Kinda like the bible.

4. Iris

goosebumps. One of the best songs ive ever heard.

5. Lightning Crashes

sadly, the most "overplayed" Live song is the most neglected by Live fans. Theres a reason it propelled TC to sell as many copies as it did: simply the best song ever created.

6. Top

Lyrically gold. Dont like to listen to it though. (edit) i think this song is also the focal point of much of what TC is about. This is especially evident in the album artwork.

7. All Over You

as far as pop-rock goes, it doesnt get any better than this folks. A song that is about absolutely nothing, but has the ability to throw you around the room like nothing else.

8. Shit Towne

Dont know why the douchbag before was offended by the word "shit", but i live there so i can relate. Just rocks.

9. T.B.D.

Inspired and passionate. Quite the turning point in the album in tone

10. Stage

shoulda coulda been a single. again, live at their best

11. Waitress

Starts off weird but is a great little tune that doesnt take itself too seriously. A characteristic that will be extinct on latter live albums

12. Pillar of Davidson

ahh the working mans song. Really a strange tune but is incapable of boring me.

13. White, Discussion

Only started to like this song last week. Was always too loud and un-melodic for my liking, but my tastes have changed and now this is one of my favs. This is the song i will now give to friends who listen to the new shit and say "Live is stoopid"

14. Hidden Track (Horse)

meh

Overall Summary:

its so sad that we will never have such an inspired, raw and creative album from these guys again. But....we will always have TC. No other fan can say that about their band.

Was the word Douchebag really necessary? And from an Aussie too... Oh well, I forgive you, Aussies can do little wrong
