Title: Way too overrated
Product review: Live used to be one of my favorite bands, and then I REALLY listened to them. "Throwing Copper" is not the great album everyone says it is. First of all, not only do most of the songs painfully drag on (Pillar of Davidson and White, Discussion are both over 6 minutes of torture!) but most of the songs sound nearly the same. Live has publicly discussed the fact that they are rather unschooled musicians, and it shows. Live has said in interviews that they just learned their instruments by the seat of their pants. If you are a person that has any ear for the technical aspects of music at all, you will realize that this album sounds almost like one big, giagantic song. I think this album does not live up to the hype at all. And what was so great about the song "Lightning Crashes?" That song is 3 chords repeated over and over for five minutes! You call that genius? I think not! Check out their first album, "Mental Jewelry" It's SO much better!
