Simon Joyner’s twelfth record, “Out into the Snow” is a Bob Dylan-esque nod to Americana, alt-country, and indie pop. His vocals scream of Dylan’s influence so much that one would think that he lend his pipes to the record. Like his predecessor, Bright Eyes, Joyner journeys into the more pop regions of the world. Except his vocals are so goddamn awful that it makes listening to the album as enjoyable as a good fingernails-to-chalkboard event amplified through a loud PA system.
you are a moron, douchebag
Sure whatever you say anonymous coward.
Predecessor: a person has a previously occupied a position or office to which another has succeeded.
Look up a word if you don’t know it’s meaning, or research an artist if you are going to review their album.
Otherwise you look like a moron.
Oh Fan Boys, how I have missed you. Posting “hater noise” on a blog definitely excludes you from the ‘moron’ category, for sure.
Not hater noise, man. I don’t hate you. And I never said you were a moron.
It’s the internet. Let’s not, the either of us, pretend we’re tough.
Oh I guess I misread, that quote from you:
“Otherwise you look like a moron.”
To mean that I look like a moron. Jeez I should shine up my glasses a bit better huh?
I would doubt either of us is trying to sound tough with the ridiculous nuance that we’re both striving for. Right? Or do I just look like a moron?
Seriously, many people need to know that this is a GREAT album. Plenty of people have always complained about Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen’s vocals, and they are comparable in that they are genuine poets like Joyner. But Joyner has a genuineness, a vulnerability that is closer to Van Zandt and Cohen than Dylan….
