Re: New album “Crooked Timber” 23 March 2009 in General Therapy? Topics

Oh god how something can be this good? I´ll have to listen the album a dozen more times to say something smarter.
As my friend put it: “Listening to this one reminds you why Therapy? is about the best band in the world.”
Fuck yeah!!!!

Yes please, NOT a re-release of troublegum that’s their most overrated album… I don’t hate it though, but it’s my least favorite T? album… everyone always acts like it’s the only good thing they’ve ever done. :-/

It certainly ain´t the only good thing they´ve ever done. But when it came out it was the best thing I had EVER heard and today it´s no less good. It´s kind of different now and I think that the band has evolved out of that anyway and that one can´t listen to Troublegum with fresh ears anymore. Still it´s a damn good rock album and a 5.1 mix would give it a new expression. For example there´s a lot of good guitar tracks on the record and opening up that landscape would be great. Same thing with Infernal Love. Therapy? have many times since showed us that how honest band they are and that they don´t have to rely on the success of Troublegum. The recent albums are fucking killers and I truly love that stuff. Still I´m not afraid to say that I like Troublegum as well. But who am I to say anything? I watch the re-runs of Animal Hospital on TV and still like them too.

Re: OCFA reviews please… in General Therapy? Topics

I´ve followed the conversation and wasn´t going to comment any way on this one but…
tsk tsk seems to be the one voice of reason. There´s some good words for everybody to think of. No matter if they downloaded OCFA or not.

Or should I have kept my mouth shut? Too late now.
If someone has something against my sympathy for tsk tsk, E-Mail me. I´m not talking bout the thing here more than this.

Re: What happened to Lector? in General Therapy? Topics

It´s not a Gibson. It´s Lector, SG style handmade guitar. Mahogany body, maple neck, ebony fretboard. Pickups are EMG HZ´s with ceramic magnets.

Some pictured details at not so pro site:

Re: What happened to Lector? in General Therapy? Topics

Yeah that´s me, The Lector and the maker of the guitar named the same.
I came up with the guestionmark inlays on the fretboard and Gemil on the headstock. I was kind of pain in the ass asking every single detail for the guitar but Andy trusted in my advice on many things. He wanted the colour to be black as he said:
“I don´t wanna fuck with the classics.”
Originally it was ment to be a Les Paul style guitar, but then Andy came back playng SG´s again so he preferred that model.
There was some troubles with the bridge (talla).
Andy´s using a very heavy set of strings and he really doesn´t play with a gentle touch so one string slipped over.
As the holes on the pieces of the bridge that the strings come over (huh!) are quite small, that happened. I saw what was going on and ran backstage and used some needle files to make the holes a bit larger. And also missed a part of the show. :(
But the guitar made it back on stage for couple of the last numbers. And as Andy has told me the guitar has survived the tour and found a home at his place. Big thanks for that to Arto at Smartcase, who made a great flightcase for the guitar.

Re: What happened to Lector? in General Therapy? Topics

Don´t know really.
One possibility is that the brand new guitar hasn´t been “played in” and won´t work as well as some that´s been played a lot.
One is that it´s not quite good. Even I can make mistakes. ;)
Mr. C. told me that the guitar was great and it was used a couple of times during the tour.
I saw some pics here at wall of mouths taken in Oslo and there it was in use.
But who knows. Maybe we will be informed more in the future.
