Thoughts on New Album

[seandavidson]

I have not seen much talk about the new Minders album. What is everyone thoughts on this album? I know for me this is an album a long time coming...I knew they had this in them. This album shows us the "Rock Band" that is them when you see them live at shows.

Oh, it's very, very, very good. I wrote a review here:

In short, Side A is some of the best Minders pop songs they've ever done. Side B is most unusual, surprising, and worthwhile. "Remember, Remember" is quickly becoming a favorite.

I'm waiting for them to come to Chicago in Aug. I will possibly repost then.

What is the extent of Robert's contribution to the album......Production....Did be play any instruments......sing?

And.....is the album avaliable on vinyl?

The Future Farmer Online Store is up and running again...sort of. You can buy the Minders new album only, the rest of the catalog will be up later this week. I broke the store when I was updating it so I had to start over.

Robert produced a few songs with the Minders, 5 songs. He also plays lead guitar, keyboards, and piano. Not sure what songs he plays on, I would believe it is the ones he produced with the band.

As for vinyl...not yet, not sure if it will. Future Farmer is not a vinyl type of label. It would have to be released by the band.

That’s cool....It will be interesting to listen for a difference between the Robert produced songs vs. the rest of the album.

As for the vinyl, that’s to bad, but I would be hesitant too after watching Dirigeable try to put one out with The Minders. “That’s just mean, man!”




Seriously though....Thanks Sean,

I think it is really great, and I like all the records though.
It is not up to par with Hooray for Tuesday in my book, but it is my opinion that every band has their album.
I am really into the new one though.

I like this new album way more than i liked cul-de-sacs
