Coloring Book is without a doubt the best thing the band has put out, and they've put out some damn good stuff. The first time I heard "Daytona White", it was like a punch to the gut. Still is.
i mean, im kidding. im wearing a Glassjaw sweater as we speak and spoiler alert, the BN in my user name doesnt stand for big nuts
2002 though. I mean, at least they've released EPs since then but if you go that long without releasing an album you should probably just stop being a band.
Whilst keeping hardcore fans continually out of the loop, promising new music then not delivering and being very inconsistent in a live environment.
I mean Coloring Book/OCG is such a solid piece of work I wouldn't mind that being their last release, but then they talked about a new album. Then released that song, and were playing other new stuff so it's annoying.
If the gap between w&t and the EPs is any indication, it's worth the weight with this band. Do I wish they had released a new album by now? Yes, but I can wait. They'll release it when it's ready. I also never expected them to make anything else after the EPs, so yea anything new is just a nice surprise for me at this point.
the new songs they played live sound so awesome idk why they enjoy playing with our emotions like this!
pretty awesome video that Vesanic over at Glassjaw.info put together from the live in Hong Kong show in 2010. Includes soundboard audio
If I recall from that podcast with Beck, they haven't (at that point) even started recording the album.
I got a NEW WHITE EXTREMITY t-shirt when they came to my area last January... with all the racial stuff going on lately, I don't feel comfortable wearing it out in public :( It doesn't even say Glassjaw on it, just the 1993/GJ logo and I have a feeling I won't be able to explain it to anyone if I inadvertently offended someone who thought I was some white supremacist.
