What Did You Expect? The Archers of Loaf Live at Cat's Cradle (2012)
Audio quality is SUPERB
The band's performance here is great--I'd seen them live at several points throughout their history and must say that they bring the same level of passion here that they always have. The set-list is fantastic; they play some rarities that I don't think I ever got to see performed live.
Above all, though, is the sound quality. Play this as loud as you can, because the Loaf have NEVER sounded better live. Massive kudos to the sound people on this one. Seriously, well done. WOW.
Highlights include the traditional, frenetic show-opener of "Audiowhore," as well as an emotional (and absolutely flawless) "All Hail The Black Market." For me, the most noteworthy aspect of this show is just the masterful execution of the entire selection of songs here, even the few songs I have personally played to death over the years. They bring a fresh and enthusiastic approach to all of these songs, after all this time.
The Rage in Placid Lake (2003)
Tries way too hard to be funny.......fails, and in a big way.
I can't believe some of the positive reviews of this movie. The dialog is pretentious, pristine and unnatural.
The characters: NONE of them are likable. You just don't buy anything they say or do. POOR writing all around. This movie wants to be Rushmore or Juno or something like that and just falls flat on its face.
It is a needless movie that adds NOTHING to film.
Most of all, it's just not funny. Or clever.
At all.
I like Ben Lee's music and find it sad and unfortunate that he wasted his time with this unoriginal and lame movie.
