Have you heard the streaming Buck Satan album?
[:)]
When you make a post like this… it helps to provide a link. I hate every bone in your body cept mine.
Who’s singing? That’s horrible. I might actually probably dig the track if the singer didn’t try so hard to be funny and put on such a cheesy fake drunken hillbilly air . . .
If they’d just sing it straight it might be pretty cool. The instrumentation is a bit mishmash, but I didn’t notice as much that horrible ticka ticka ticka ticka ticka ticka drum machine that was so everpresent on the earlier samples.
I’m still undecided about this project. This track, with respect to the others, seems to tell me that they had a bit of identity crisis and couldn’t quite figure out what the project even was . . . . “Uhh, are we country badasses, or just some drunken goobs making fun of hillbillies.”
Honestly, you can’t have it both ways.
I heard the two tracks they streamed a while ago, but I haven’t heard anything about the full album being leaked.

I’m referring to the new song that was posted on FaceBook today.
oh dear

Jello and mojo nixon had it both ways and was mind blowing.

Point = Grumpy.
I guess the key with that is that they weren’t forcing anything and were already established. Mojo Nixon had been doing the redneck comedy thing for a long time. And when he and Jello collaborated they assembled a top-shelf team of musicians FROM the genre.
Although it was something different from what Jello typically did, it didn’t come across as “country fantasy band camp”. And Jello is so sarcastic and bitter that there is strong EMOTIONAL CONTENT.
This Buck Satan thing is completely devoid of any feeling. Country music doesn’t work if there’s no heart and soul to it. And there was certainly no soul in this last track. It’s not about being polished or smooth or cool. It’s about being honest and real.
Al, in this case, just seems like such an awful poser. He wants us to believe so badly that the dirty country outlaw is the “real” Al. But it so painfully is not.
GG Allin did a country album. He may not have a great voice, but it was real and honest and did not come across as fake. And more importantly, it had true emotion.

I knew what you meant I was just being a fly in the ointment.
It sucks cause I really wanna like al but I think peligro was the one who said that he’s become a cartoon of himself and that’s seems to be right on.
He’s not funny anymore cause he keeps telling the same joke.
From what I remember of the first 2 tracks they were ok I haven’t heard this recent track .
I’m scared I may be the reason he’s putting out all of this stuff. When I met him a few years ago I told him I had over 100 releases from him. he said “I’ve only got 20 or so albums”
I said no no sir you’ve got bootlegs, you’ve got singles, you’ve got imports, you’ve got import singles, you’ve got side projects, singles of side projects.
He said oh man we got an investor here. I said sure enough.
A short while after that here comes all these remixxx albums. I wonder if he thought “this guys a die hard, there’s bound to be more like him. ka ching” [:(]

I propose a class action lawsuit against Grumpy.
Al’s attempt to play Billy the Kid reminds me of those douchey teachers that try to connect with the kids by showing how down they are by putting on a backwards ball cap and rapping about how wack drugs are . . . .
I think I can finally extinguish my little flame of hope I’d left burning for Buck Seitan.
I didn’t realise Zig & Zag were making a country album:

The other two were way better than this one.
Al should try re-recording this whole album now that he’s sober. It sounds like the sort of thing you’d do when you’re blacked out drunk. Then you wake up the next and say “What the fuck was I thinking last night?”

Totally agreed on both fronts. I actually kind of liked the first two songs except for the stupid drum machine. This “Every Bone” song sounds more like a joke that a band would throw together in 30 minutes because they had another hour left on the studio rental.
There’s nothing wrong with a band doing such novelty songs and releasing them as B-Sides or fan downlowds or something. Fans appreciate stuff like that.
The problem is . . . . . . this project didn’t just get slapped together in 30 minutes. It’s been in the works (at least in Al’s head and our imagination) for over TWENTY FRIGGIN’ YEARS!!!
I would have thought that something 20 years in the making might have been able to pick up a drummer along the way.
Anyway, the inconsistency from one track to the next really does have me curious to hear ALL the tracks. My hopes aren’t very high at this point, but I’m still curious.
The guy has been blowing hot air about this since 1990, it’s his “chinese democracy” if you will, I’m rushing out to target to buy mine now…wait…what???

now maybe I’m wrong here, but wasn’t that how a lot of the classic luxa/pan stuff was recorded back in the day though? lol i think I read that somewhere…

There’s a big difference between getting loaded with Paul Barker and waking up to find an album was recorded and getting loaded with Erie Load and Sin and waking up to find an album was recorded.
This project is rumoured for 20 yrs+ and then this is what he comes up with. It obviously should have been sealed away for good several years ago and remained the “great lost project” because all that has happened now is another Jourgensen related act is defiled (though Buck Satan hadn’t reached any heights to begin with). But because Jourgensen is still three sheets to the wind (something else that is fairly obvious) this shit goes on as long as he does. Or else he never had much of a plan for Buck Satan in the first place and he could get away with talking about it here and there without actually delivering anything.

oh for sure there is. and that’s the fly in the ointment…but didn’t he do this album sober? or has it been worked on for the last 2 decades in various states of being? haven’t even listened to the songs except the first one and wow a massive miss. though tbh I hate country music.

This new song in particular sounds like a novelty song - like the sort of thing they used to hide at track 99 on CDs.

From the interview he did a little while back, I was under the impression that he did the majority of the album sober. Haven’t heard the new one, but I thought the other two were “interesting”.
