And then the Zeppelin and Jimmy Page comments about "A Sight to Behold"? Geesh. WTF? I don't know. I guess I just don't understand how his "wit and imagination" and metaphors are doing anything to describe the songs. Most of the feels he described weren't even too accurate. Oh well. I agree.. but the "Eisley is f*cking with you" line is an instant classic. |

it was hard to get past the fact that it seemed like swearing was the only thing that made this review anything exciting, and im sure the writer knew it too. cussing is so cool. 
i didnt get his comparisons at all. oh well. as long as people hear about eisley! |

Hahaha, oh man. I do feel the same way about Many Funerals too... I remember when I first heard it from a live video Boyd put up... I was like "woaahhhh eisley, this is AWESOME" It made me so excited for new material. It's just really....out there. Sort of angry, edgy, but cool. Takes you by surprise. |

Despite thinking the cussing was a bit gratuitous, I thought it was effectively used, though that's not my favorite part about the interview by any means. But I stick with my other post on this thread, wherever that is by now. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |
