Less Than Jake Band • Page 21

Oooo I wanna know what those sound like.

 

These sound great! What if they re-recorded the entire album? Haha

 

Hello Rockview (Roger's Version)

 

Is it for sale (or another variant) online yet?

 

These new versions are cool but I’ll probably never listen to them again lol

 

Would love for them to give Anthem more love instead of doing Rockview for the 20,000th time.

 

You could though, just click play a second time and prove yourself wrong. Live dangerously.

 

same but Borders & Boundaries

 

These sound amazing. Would love to see them do more re-recordings of some of the older stuff. Like Short On Ideas / One Last Cigarette

 

Hello Rockview was the first Less Than Jake album I ever heard/bought. With that said, I always get nervous about rerecordings, but I really like these. I feel like this is how these two songs sounded when I heard them the first time 24+ years ago (in a fresh/positive way), but that's obviously not the case lol

 

Yeah these re-recordings sound fantastic.

 

As someone who was a huge fan in the early to mid 2000s and then dropped off pretty hard after GNV FLA, what are the highlights from roughly the past 10 years?

 

Their Greetings and Salutations album combines two EPs into one record and the band has said it was essentially an effort to create a bunch of songs that sounded like “singles.” It’s a collection of catchy solid songs. See The Light from 2013 has some good songs, and their Sound the Alarm EP from 2017 also has a couple great tracks. Their album from 2020, Silver Linings, for me was kind of a dud. I never listen to it. Just doesn’t sound like the LTJ I enjoy. But people will vehemently disagree and say it’s a great album.

 

Sound the Alarm is my favorite release post-GNV FLA

 

Everything they've put out at least has some highlights and are all worth checking out imo.

Best tracks of all the recent stuff:

High Cost of Low Living
Lie To Me
Whatever The Weather
Bomb Drop
Good Enough
Harvey Wallbanger

 

I would also argue that their song, The Sit Around is one of their better post gnv songs. You really get to hear JR shine vocally, which I would like to see a little more of.

 

Oh yeah those 3 songs they dropped during lockdown were great

 

Just realized those songs aren’t on Spotify…kinda want to hear them, if they’re as good as claimed. Here they are:

 

any Long Island/NYC folks, this should be a fun time in a few weeks. Havent really seen it plugged much on social medias;

 

John The Baptist Bones as well (if we’re talking post-2010 songs). Love that song.

 

Only just caught that they use a different part of the same speech for the quote at the beginning of Metalheads. Neat!

 

youth fountain just dropped a LTJ cover

 

Enjoyed that more than I thought I would
