and for the record

Bar none the worst album I’ve listened to is the Everclear covers debacle.

They haven’t been good in a decade. And they were only briefly good. But that also goes for Weezer, I suppose.

I actually like the green album better than the blue album, partially because it doesn’t include “Surf Wax America.” But right now it looks like Maladroit is their benchmark.

Disagree

Blue Album all the way. Pinkerton is top notch, too. But all my chips are on “Say It Ain’t So” as their best. And the Deftones version is pretty tight, too.

No Sharp,

She sings Tom Waits songs. Rather poorly. Overproduced by the guy from TV on the Radio.

No way...

Dave Sitek? I knew that guy back in high school, he’s from my hometown. I feel kinda bad he’s working for this goofball though. I liked some choice tracks of his & TV on the Radio, but this is kind of embarrassing to get involved with a vanity project like this.

He probably made more money to produce Scarlett than he did for his entire own critically-acclaimed album.

And to further expound...

...on Scarlet Jomama, just because it’s late night and I feel like it, what the fuck happened to this chick? She’s like Bizarro Sean Penn. She started off as a respected actress in artsified movies at the beginning of her career and has gradually drifted into increasingly stupid ass roles, culminating with an engagement to that fat suit teen movie actor guy, Ryan Reynolds. And now a dumbass album? I don’t get it. Did she fire her old agent or something?

by Jonny Pops on Jun 10, 2008 2:31 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Scarlett

Her recent stuff isn’t all that bad. The Prestige is perfectly respectable. And I’ve heard the The Other Boleyn Girl is decent. Match Point is a Woody Allen flim, which despite whatever you think of him is a prestigious gig. As far as the album goes, I personally don’t like it but I think it’s a “serious” album. She can’t sing is the big problem. But the music itself terrible. It’s certainly far better than any other celebrity turned singers albums like Eddie Murphy, Bruce Willis, Lindsay Lohan or whoever.

I almost bought...

a still sealed copy of Telly Savalas’ record the other day (why would anyone have opened it). Mr. “Player’s Club” is certainly in the running for the title of “worst album ever.” Just couldn’t lay out the green, even as a joke.

There is an absolutely revolting video for Telly’s version of “If” on youtube (check for it if you dare). It’s the most horrifying thing I have ever seen in my life, and I have watched a man bleed to death.

The fact that it's "serious"...

only makes it worst in my estimation. Starlets who have no musical talent are better off issuing the kind of fluff Lindsay Lohan puts out. Trying to do a “serious,” “artistic” album with absolutely no discernable musical talent (or ability to control pitch) reeks of self-absorption. I would much rather hear Eddie Murphy sing “my girl likes to party all the time” than Scarlett Johansson have a go at Tom Waits.

I’ll never fault ambition…. even if misplaced. For example, I won’t fault a talentless minor leaguer who is shooting for a career in teh bigs.

Trying to do a "serious," "artistic" album with absolutely no discernable musical talent (or ability to control pitch) reeks of self-absorption.

She could just trying to expand our boundaries. I don’t think that’s a mark of self-absorption. I don’t blame her for trying even if she doesn’t have much singing chops. If she loves singing, then she can make all the not so good albums she wants.

Wolf, wolf, wolf.

by birdman on Jun 10, 2008 3:16 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

See...

I would fault a talentless minor leaguer for shooting for a career in the big leagues. If he has no talent for baseball, he ought to recognize it and work hard at something he might be good at. Chances are he could put out better music than Scarlett Johansson.

Have you actually heard the album? I have, and it is so bad I find it hard to believe that it is going to expand anybody’s boundaries. I’m also not convinced that she tried so hard either. She’s famous and she can make an album, so she did. She also thought it would increase her hip credibility if she did an album of Tom Waits songs.

I have friends who are musicians, and for them “trying” to make a living in music involved years and years spent studying and practicing music, not using their connections to cut a vanity project.

Loved her in Ghost World though…

I would fault a talentless minor leaguer for shooting for a career in the big leagues. If he has no talent for baseball, he ought to recognize it and work hard at something he might be good at.

On one hand, I want to sound like a disney movie, “You gotta follow your dreams!” If you people want to live that way while ignoring reality, I’m not going to say anything. This will sound contradictory (such is life), but I find such delusion admirable. On the other hand, it’s not how I would personally live my life, I’m more a realist. But if a minor leaguer loves baseball and dreams of playing of playing in the bigs, cool beans. He might not make it to the bigs, but least he’s doing what he loves.

Have you actually heard the album?

Of course, I’m not Maxim magazine or anything. I think it’s an OK album. I like a couple of tracks. I like Anywhere I Lay My Head and I Don’t Want to Grow up, but overall the album is just blah. Her voice is just too monotone and a lot of songs just kind of drag. Unlike most celeb albums, I think she tried to do something a creative and out of the box, but she just failed. The album didn’t quite live up to her ambition. Her song choice is kind of curious. I’m a huge of early Tom Waits (I guess everything pre-Rain Dogs) and she did almost nothing from that era. She did stay away from the obvious “hits” like Ole 55 which I thought was good.

I have friends who are musicians, and for them "trying" to make a living in music involved years and years spent studying and practicing music, not using their connections to cut a vanity project.

Like I said, she might have just made the album because she’s passionate about music. Besides, I won’t fault her for using her connections and power to make an album, That’s what everybody does.

Loved her in Ghost World though…

Lost in Translation is what sealed it for me.

Just listened

to a few tracks on the album. What I find most striking is the quality of the production’s contrast with how bad her voice is. She seems just dead in the water on these tracks. It’s like someone hired Vittorio Storaro to shoot a film starring Jaime Pressly.

I think...

that’s part of what sticks in my craw about this whole project. It reminds me of Charles Foster Kane building an enormous, opulent opera house to showcase the singing of his supremely untalented wife. There’s just a kind of Hollywood hubris at work here that I find very unappealing.

Anyway, I don’t want to pick on Scarlett too much. I don’t have any beef with her in general.

I heard

that Boleyn thing was crappy.

Match Point was horrible. That other Woody Allen thing she was in was even worse – and despite his former reputation, I’m not sure how much good it does anymore for a performer, and particularly a young attractive actress, to be cast in a Woody Allen movie anymore. Too much baggage there.

Let’s not forget she was in The Nanny Diaries, which looks a film part an actress who needs the work takes, not one on top of her game.

Oh apparently she’s been cast in another Woody Allen movie, Vicky Christina Barcelona…oy vey is mir.

Plus we have “He’s Just Not That Into You” with Jennifer Aniston and Drew Barrymore to look forward to – produced by none other than Drew Barrymore. And set in Baltimore of all places.

woody allen

His movies may have taken a down turn (coindentally, I just watched parts of Annie Hall the other day, which is a very fine movie), but his movies are a prestigious gig. Any Hollywood actor would JUMP at the chance at an Allen movies. Boleyn Girl at least wasn’t a fluff movie, but I can’t defend Nanny Diaries. And I personally dug the Prestige. In any case, i don’t think Scarlett has jumped the shark yet, not even close.

you can fault the finished product, but a lot of her movies of the last few years probably looked great on paper. totally concur on woody allen pics and even tend to think match point was solid; prestige (hey, the memento guy!); black dahlia (hey, brian depalma)...i dunno. as for nanny diaries, i don’t fault a motherfucker for wanting to make a buck.

I thought The Prestige

was Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman, neither of whom was in Memento. That was Guy Pearce.

I freakin’ LOVE that movie. The scene where Carrie-Anne Moss hides the pens is the scariest thing I’ve ever seen on film, because I live that exact fear every damn day with ADD.

Gotta find a pen, don’t forget…

Pseudo-singing

Not as bad as Ashlee Simpson and all these other vacuous starlets being bolstered by pitch correction, but Scar is buried underneath effects just the same. David Sitek (TV On The Radio) is about as “magical” (that’s sarcasm) a producer as Brendan O’Brien. If you like your stuff hacked up and coughed out, he’s your man.

the singing isn't good

but her interpretations of Waits is the biggest problem. Bad singing in itself can be overcome. Liz Phair can’t sing for crap but her first album is terrific. And then there’s Bob Dylan. Tom Waits is a great song writer but Scarlett just doesn’t do anything interesting with his songs. A lot of monotone babble with over produced synth stuff.

Her label thought about putting out a 10 year anniversay edition but they nixed it. Hopefully the new edition will have some cool live stuff and her early demo tracks.

Not a big fan

Singer’s voice doesn’t do it for me, and everything seems like it’s 6-9 minutes long. I’ll take that from “Master” era Metallica, but not some band I’m just trying out. It would be like starting with Rush with 2112. The couple of songs I have heard just don’t do it for me.

9:30

Saw Mastodon at 9:30 Club. They put on a good show. Not too much talkin, lots of rockin.

Also like the Deftones, though Chino’s voice live is a bit nasty. In terms of live metal bands, I’m a big fan of Hatebreed (one of the most exciting live bands I have seen), Tool, Lamb of God, and Disturbed.

Although I think Hatebreed is pretty much retarded when I listen to their studio recordings, it’s great pit music. And I love all the other bands you mentioned.
