I was just relistineng to Death of a Dictionary, and I'll be damned, that is like the poppiest CD I have ever heard! With the possible exception of Good Pain, those are all pop songs. So maybe SFBM is not s departure from Live's previous material, but rather a return to their poppy roots?

Discuss amongst yourselves.

Interesting theory...

In my opinion, DOAD is a bit more "raw" than SFBM, but most, if not all, of that's obviously due to 1) their age at the time (esp. Ed's voice), and 2) their production resources at the time.

DAOD is, however, indeed poppy, and if it were re-recorded today and polished up a bit, it would definitely be more poppy than SFBM

DOAD sounds like a band still on the dole.

Probably DOAD was done at a certain phase of their musical growth wherein they have these pop influences. However, I won't consider it as the music they really want to make. Otherwise, MJ would have been a polished DOAD.

I agree but I spoke about this in another thread and no-one could see where I was coming from.

After a gazillion listens to SFBM in the last few days, I have to say I can't believe anyone would be complaining about this CD. Its no more poppie than Throwing Copper was. Show has that same angst that many older Live songs portrayed so well. True, it doesn't have a White Discussion, but it does have some pretty had moments within each song. At first, I was thinking this CD was some new direction for Live, but its the same great stuff they have always done. Besides, a song might sound "commercial" but unless it actually is commercial than its still alternative rock.
