A very unattractive reference to Jason

Post by niamhm »

whilst trawling the net decided to look for a review of a fav. album of mine and came across this pretty unedifing description of jason,nothing to do with the album or the artist,

for anyone that cares to check out the album ,its an understated classic ,sadly ignored

To be honest, I would think Jason has the least to worry about out of all the people mentioned in that review.

Ha, I think the guy who wrote that posts on another board I read. He's got interesting ones on Mansun and the tracks that should have made Urban Hymns.

Not a very attractive description, to be sure, but being an intense leader of a working drug-rock band probably does not do wonders for the impression one makes on people who aren't fans.

I thought it was just a metaphor.

yeah I don't think it's a literal description of Jason, just using him as a kind of metaphor.

re: the album being reviewed, I don't have that one but I do have a couple of Shack albums- and they are wondrously melodic and lovely things (if a bit too Britpop in places)- can't understand why they were never massive.

Brilliant album, especially X Hits The Spot, Glyniss and Jacquii (probably misspelt that) and Loaded Man.
Great band, Waterpistol is their best, forum folk should check Time Machine, Mr Appointment, Undecided and Stranger. Some of the best music of the last few decades on that album, timeless pop. I guess that they never got massive due to bad luck in places, the masters of Waterpistol went missing for several years, and didnt get a full on release until 1995.

not wanting to be a smart ass, but 'Zilch' was Shack's debut album. 'Waterpistol' is by far their best...
