Jaimoe Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 I think I may take a stab at this album and review it for the Jambands.ca mainpage - I don't have it yet. I'm concerned that there's only a reported 2 up-tempo tunes on the new CD: I don't like the mid-tempo Mule tunes anywhere near as much as fast rockers like Mule, Trane and Bad Little Doggie. Here's the Rolling Stone review, posted today: **/5 Warren Haynes, rock's most valuable player, must have to check his calendar to figure out which band he's in on any given day. If it's Tuesday, it must be the Dead or the Allman Brothers Band (or both). That's both remarkable and -- from the enervated sounds of Deja Voodoo -- a little problematic. Voodoo is slow-burning Southern bar-band music with an angry, haunted edge. There are just two up-tempo rockers -- "Slackjaw Jezebel" and "Mr. Man" -- as Haynes lets most of the songs find their own spooky, churning groove. "About to Rage" is a cogent political diatribe, and the eleven-minute centerpiece, "Silent Scream," contains truly searing guitar solos. Yet for all its intensity, the album lacks some essential spark -- and it sometimes sounds like the hardest-working man in show business needs a break.

ollie Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 I've only listened to it a couple of times so my opinion will most likely change but I'm not surprised by this review. It hasn't grabbed me yet like the past two Deep End albums did. Just kind of meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewRider Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 what a crock of sh!t! Bad man Walking, Slackjaw Jezebel, Lola Leave Your Light On and Mr. Man are all up-tempo tunes. I think the album sounds great but I came in with very little expectations. I was a little freaked out by the fact that none of these tunes were played live before the albums release. Rolling Stone magazine can kiss my ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple foot Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Rolling stone lost all credibility in music somewhere between the time britney spears and christina aguilara started gracing the cover. I admit i have bought a couple of issues this year but strictly for the pretty pictures not music reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually Macaulay Culkin's mugshot from a week ago. He got busted for pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuleMomma Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 For what it's worth, in my opinion, almost all Mule albums take time to grow on you, like a creeper-buzz. Sure, the Deep End albums were instantly likeable, but in the long run, it's the creeper ones I prefer (and the darker, the better ). Strangely, I found the same thing with Phish. (BTW, this comes from a person who has yet to hear the new album). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimmerman pt3 Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Party Monster SUCKED!!! The whole time I sat through it, I asked myself, "did I just pay $8 to see this crap?" Macauly is sooo damn annoying in that role, I wanted to punch him out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuleMomma Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Yay, just got the new album...diggin' on "Silent Scream" right now - wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyB Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I can't believe I haven't picked up this album yet. I also can't believe I haven't gotten tickets for the upcoming show in October either. They both should be on my to do list. When I saw them at this years bonnaroo I was surprised that they weren't doing this new material yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
