A Fastway reference!

Now I'm all nostalgic to dig out my copy of the Trick Or Treat soundtrack...

Say what you will, Rami, but I know my early '80s cock rock.

This album will likely make my top 5 of the year. It's a good album, but this was a pretty weak year.

Self-promotional bump.

While I certainly appreciate and welcome everyone's feedback regarding the site and the reviews, it would also be cool if you all used these threads to debate the pros and cons of the album in question. You know, kind of like we did with Listmania!

So, let's hear some discussion regarding the merits of The Hold Steady - Almost Killed Me...

It'll sneak into my Top 20. I think the lyrics are smart and witty and the music has some great power chordage. The thing, to me, that it misses the most is great choruses. Granted I'm a sucker for a great sing along chorus.

I listen to it wanting a bigger pay off. But with lines like the one above, I keep coming back to it for the verbiage.

I should add this notice to all of my Hip-D threads:

If you haven't heard this album and would like to, grab it from me at Clever Cactus.
