I just got Cold's 'Year of the Spider' and its awesome.
Check out "The Day Seattle Died" which is about Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley.

You a longtime Cold fan? This is a great album, no doubt.... more melodic than some of thier other stuff.

silver26 · 05-27-2003, 05:36 PM

I picked up "13 Ways.." just to get "Just Got Wicked". Ive been hooked ever since... I got their first cd, but didnt like it so much.

The new stuff is defintely melodic, and I dig it.

Check out this interview from Shoutweb:

Scooter explains the meanings of the songs, really makes the music seem that much more better.

how weird is it that rivers cuomo from weezer produced a lot of this record? i thought that was pretty interesting.

silver26 · 05-29-2003, 06:09 PM

Are you sure about that? I'm 99% sure that he just wrote some of the lyrics for "Stupid Girl". They had been writing the song and thought it sounded 'weezerish', so they contacted Rivers on got him on board, but just for that song.

TheDave87 · 06-01-2003, 07:08 PM

ive yet to check out Year of the Spider, but i liked 13 ways a lot... all ive heard from Year was stupid girl, but it sounded awesome

zztzed · 06-01-2003, 08:15 PM

Year of the Spider was produced by Howard Benson, who's also worked with POD. He produced Satellite.

Rivers Cuomo did co-write "Stupid Girl" with the singer of Cold, though.

It's really not that weird. Cold was actually on tour with them for the first half of Weezer's "Extended Midget Tour" but left because Weezer fans booed them, and were replaced by a much better choice, Tenacious D.

You don't want to piss of emokids, you know.

silver26 · 06-02-2003, 06:50 AM

Yeah, some kids are pretty close minded when it comes to music... my neice told me the other day that The White Stripes and Metallica both suck (they get air time on mainstream music tv lately because of 'Seven Nation Army' and 'St.Anger', respectively).

If Im not mistaken Sum 41 turned down playing both the Guns n Roses tour(which flopped anyway) the Summer Sanitarium tour for this very reason.

KWSN · 06-02-2003, 04:57 PM

Personally I've always thought Cold was OK... but I absolutely HATE this "Stupid Girl" track... It just seems to me like the most uninventive, drab, boring, and overall crappy song out there right now. That is, besides "Somewhere I Belong." *shudder*

If the rest of the album is better than that, that I might give it a listen, but when one bad song is thrown into an album of good ones, it just kind of pisses me off.

silver26 · 06-02-2003, 05:25 PM

Agreed. For the most part anyways. "Stupid Girl" is not your average Cold song, put it makes a good single - it's catchy. The rest of the songs have more depth.

AxByC · 06-04-2003, 05:34 PM

Ive just dow..er purchased it recently im liking it quite a bit.

silver26 · 06-04-2003, 05:58 PM

Actually I "dow.. er purchased" it too. I'm part of the music industrys problem

If I had money I would definetly buy loads of cd's.
