The songs are timeless...it is me that has grown old., May 11, 2004
Reviewer: meccano (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
There are things in life that will always defy explanation to those who have not experienced them. I can try to tell you what it is like having a son or falling in love, but will you really understand until it happens to you? The Smiths are one of those things that I could TRY to explain to you, but alas my feeble attempt to verbally express the impact The Smiths had on my left would never be properly conveyed. During my 20th summer on this planet, LOUNDER THAN BOMBS played nonstop on my 1984 Dodge Charger's Blaupunkt stereo as I drive from my part time job at the movie theatre in West LA to summer classes downtown at USC. From "Is It Really So Strange?" to the last song "Asleep" and back again I had BOMBS playing endlessly. For that moment in time it became as important to me as air and blood. I don't listen to LOUDER THAN BOMBS over and over again anymore, but I don't really have to as the changes it affected in me have already been done (for better or worse). Like REM's first studio album Murmur, or losing my virginity, I think about LOUNDER THAN BOMBS and smile with a mix of pain, happiness and regret. The songs are timeless; alas it is me a mere mortal that has grown old. Feel free tender hooligans to take this for your own, for your summer of any year yet to come, and let it melt into the pores of your being.
wow, i read that review and that dude seems like a cool mother fucker. but i cant help but feel for him. he obviously is desperate for his youth back and would give anything to go drive aimlessly, getting high with his friends and blasting his favorite new album.
i know what he is talking about. i can listen to any number of my cds and recall past memories and things that i had forgotten.
Portugal, the man - memories of driving a 30 min each way trip to work and my car getting stolen
thom yorke - driving my van that i had for 2 weeks and in the parking lot after it broke down
it is kind of depressing to think that music that seems so important to me now will be just a memory of my youth. i guess in that situation i would want to be looking from a condescending viewpoint.I WAS INTO WHAT? i would hope that my musical taste would evolve for better and not some yuppie bullshit. that is all for now
