[GirlinContempt]

Has anyone else heard this album?

I almost gouged my eardrums out with a hot butter knife. I'm for serious. It is THAT BAD.

How bad is it, really, you ask?

My Mum bought it when she and my Dad were driving to Sask.
She put it on, and my Dad yelled at her to turn it off. She didn't. So he then got it out of the CD player and wrestled with her, while driving at 100kmph, so he could toss it out the window.
He failed.
But it's THAT BAD.
You'll risk your life just to save the world from having to hear it again.

Holy crap.

[HEyHEY]

1. It was a masterpiece!

You just can't "hear" willie

[GirlinContempt]

2. I can 'hear' the programmed reggae beat on his 1975 Casio Jr.

while he rambles over top, both drunk and stoned (At least I HOPE he's drunk and stoned)

What am I 'missing'?

[GirlinContempt]

3. And the FIDDLES

oh, god, I can hear the fiddles
:cry:

[progmom]

4. I love Willie

....but I HATED that record.

[GirlinContempt]

7. While I question your taste in that you love Willie

I agree the record was SHIT ;)

[progmom]

24. i went to see him live on a lark once about 12 years ago

...and was blown away. I had always thought of him as a characature...but that was way underestimating him. He's a seriously talented musician and songwriter.

[MrScorpio]

5. This album KICKS ASS!

I mean it!

I LOVE IT

[GirlinContempt]

8. .....

:puke:

[XemaSab]

6. I felt that way about the book Cryptonomicon

Instead of Saskatchewan, I was in Alberta.

And instead of wrestling with the other person in the car, I was wrestling with myself about whether to suck it up and finish it or just leave it flapping by the side of the Tete au Jaune (sp?) highway.

It was really THAT bad.

[GirlinContempt]

9. LOL

[mtowngman]

10. Thank God wxpn stopped playing it

less than a week after it was released, it was horrible.

[GirlinContempt]

14. Truly henious

[TroubleMan]

11. Well...I've heard reggae covers of "On The Road Again" and

"To All The Girls I've Loved Before". They didn't do much better than ol' Willie apparently did with their genre.

It can't be as bad a Johnny Cash's cover of "Redemption Song." If it is......ouch

Willie and reggae artists do have something in common - major marijuana consumption. Maybe the problem is that you were listening to it sober. Smoke it up and then listen. It might be a work of genius then.

12. trust me...

LSD on Halloween wouldn't help this.

13. Love Reggae, love Willie, but don't think they mix

But I haven't heard it. :shrug:

[GirlinContempt]

15. There are samples at that link I posted

[elshiva]

16. I am too afraid. EEEEEEK!

Sounds brocoli flavored ice cream :puke:

[Benfea]

17. I refuse to listen to it.

Willie Nelson is one of the very few country and western musicians I can tolerate, and I'd rather not have my bubble burst like that.

[GirlinContempt]

18. Probably for the best

[Brewman_Jax]

19. I listened to the samples

fortunately, it's Willie singing reggae songs in country tempo. It's like Pat Boone's leather phase, something that they can say that they've done--and won't do again under penalty of the gods/listening public/good taste/general health and sanity/social propriety/peer pressure--etc.

Being a serious reggae fan, I don't think that the reggae world has much to worry about. :P

[GirlinContempt]

22. I think people who value their lives do, though

Have something to worry about that is. People with weak hearts could keel over.

[Brewman_Jax]

25. BTW

I thought it was awful, too. But, I disagree about those with weak hearts will keel over. People with weak hearts will find that their hearts will strengthen--in order to get up, turn off the stereo, and throttle whoever played that CD.

:rofl:

20. I tossed a girlfriend's Violent Femmes tape out the window once

Gave her some money to buy a new one

Gawd they suck, like a duet with Billy Corgan and 500 yowling cats

[GirlinContempt]

23. I like the Femmes

:P

[DS1]

26. Then you and I were never meant to be

:shrug:

Enduring them through a huge outdoor concert was more emotionally painful than the gas chamber in bootcamp.

[LaraMN]

27. Whiner.

Try sitting through a :puke: PHISH concert, with morning sickness.
As if I wouldn't have wanted to puke, without the hormonal issues contributing.

[DS1]

28. Closest thing I've got is Fishbone

It was an outdoor concert in Hawaii, on a ranch.

Stone Temple Pilots
Tool
Violent Femmes :puke:
Fishbone :puke:
and then
Primus

[LaraMN]

30. STP and Primus would've been cool, though.

My friends and I made some "movies" in high school, and used alot of Primus in the soundtrack. Someone still has the videos, and the last time they screened them, I ran out of the house, in horror. So.embarrassing.

[graywarrior]

21. Willie can do Polish Polka's and I'd listen to him.

[LaraMN]

29. Oh, and thanks so much, GIC. I just laughed so bad that I

peed a little bit.
:banghead:

[GirlinContempt]

31. I love you too, muffin

:D
