Their Majesties
Lands Where Tales are Tall
(Just Friends)
This album brims with a boisterous sense of fun, a bratty sense of humour, a clever and fresh point of view, and adept musicianship. Country-rockers bookend Lands Where Tales are Tall, but the arrangements switch lanes often throughout. Horns (courtesy of David Myles) bring a soul-pop flavour to some tunes, including “Fire Island Unchaperoned,” while accents on others come from a psychedelic language (“Solid Gold”). The strongest tune remains the uncomplicated, straightaway rock song “Sweet Sweet Thunder,” which sharply contrasts with the closer, “Wayside,” which tries to do too much in one song.

Damn right! My double espresso almost isn’t worth the bleeding ears it’ll cost me.
That might have been the most pretentious bullsh!t I have ever read.
CE: You took the words right out of my mouth.
Just a hunch, but I think it’s a joke. I mean–I think the person’s being facetious. A Tribe Called Quest? It’s not like they’re asking for Philip Glass. I just hope people have dictionaries on Hand.
Somebody is proving that they are ‘educated’ by using a lot of words that are not part of the everyday vernacular. Funny, I always thought that communication was all about being straight in how you speak so that people would understand. Instead you sound like a snotty wanker that is whining because they can’t listen do their dated music. A Tribe Called Quest??? Damn, nobody listened to them even when they were ‘popular’ seven years ago!
So glad you found your thesaurus, but don’t use a $10 word for a $2 thought.

It’s too bad no one in this town finds elitism funny. There are almost as many of you upset with this post as there are people upset with that guy who wants to deport Halifax’s over-weight women to a fat farm. Let’s try to gain some perspective here, people.
Que?
wow this guy is like so totally smart, i’m drooling all over my keyboard i’m so impressed by his writing skills, i don’t even know what he said but i’m sure he’s right
I think you should concentrate more on your regular vocabulary than trying to sound like some selfish, egotistical bastard that likes to hear himself speak!
To Gimpysaviour: communication may be about being straight in how you speak so that people understand, and tongue-in-cheek humour is about irritating people who have sticks up their asses and no satirical bones in their bodies. I think the bitcher has succeeded admirably.
Intelligent humour is lost on the masses lately. I thought this was actually quite funny…tongue in cheek, as someone previously stated. However, if the Bitcher is serious…*raises an eyebrow*…I think having a conversation with this person in real life would make my ears bleed from the overuse of convoluted and unecessary words! Bwuahahahahaha…
Bwuahahahahha??a bit over the top don’t u think?, save this for bettert times
Country rockers? Where at?
