Butch Walker Band • Page 12

And honselty, I fuckin’ lovvveeeeee that shit. Hope the whole record is that vein.

 

Did he announce a new album yet?

 

No official announcements, but he’s talked about working on it, and posted a couple song bits

 

The best song on this album, for me, is one he never plays and no one ever talks about: "Don't You Think Someone Should Take You Home."

 

Super underrated album in his discography IMO. "Days/Months/Years" is one of my favorite Butch tunes.

 

It's my least favorite of his solo albums almost by default, just because it's the one that feels the least "him" to me. A little too much Michael Trent influence. Some really killer tunes though.

 

Hey, me too. I think a some of the songs sound like they are still early drafts and could’ve used another pass or two. Not bad, just not up to the usual level.

 

It's the album that most just feels like a grab bag. It's kind of all over the place and you're right that a few of the songs feel undercooked. It begins strong and ends strong, but the mid-section is a little bit dull.

 

I definitely think "Stripped Down Version," "Canadian Ten," and "Temporary Title" form a lull in the middle of the album at tracks 4-6. It may have benefitted from some different sequencing. But I still have a lot of fondness for it overall. Probably because it was the first Butch album that I highly anticipated after getting into him with Sycamore Meadows. I was really into that rollout.

 

"She Likes Hairbands" is super mega underrated

 

Great song

 

It’s great, but I wouldn’t call it underrated. He’s played it at every show I’ve been to since this album came out.

 

Those three and “House of Cards” are a little thin, I think. Most of them feel like they should have been b-sides.

 

haha oh... shows what I know

 

Butch's "Eye of the Tiger" cover is in a new truck commercial.

 

Any news about a new album? Its been awhile!

 

I can't lie - seeing the thread bumped had me SO HYPED that there was some news.

I am ready.

 

Someone asked in one of the Facebook groups awhile ago, apparently it fell back from a release early in the year due to damage the wildfires caused to his house and property (nothing nearly as bad as last time though). Since then I haven’t heard anymore

 

Damn! He still lives in that area? I didn't know that. My Aunt and Uncle were his neighbors the first fire. Butch was renting the house from Flea at the time. My Aunt and Uncle lost their house at the time too. It was horrible.

Jesus...I can't imagine almost going through something like that again.

 

Yeah I think he splits his time evenly between LA and Nashville these days

 

Ohhhhhhh yes.

 

Very ready for this announcement.
