The first album sounded like a wannabe eddie vetter doing industrial. The
second album was a wannabe trent reznor-like idea. Are they still around?
I thought they would have died by now. bummer. I sneer at anyone who
likes these guys. S/W needs to take their own identity, not everyone
else's.

Please, I beg of all of you, don't continue posting on this string! If you want
to post something like this, go to RMI, and settle your arguments through
flames at each other.

We here at AMK are a peaceful loving brood.

I'm not a particular fan of the rythms or the vocals, although I really do like the
lyrics, because it's all whiney and melancholia about him getting a broken heart, in
which my opinion is funny when any guy does that. I still can't believe they made
3 albums on the same context.

Especially since almost all (if not completely all) of them are married and some have
kids.

burn and Peel, was a good album, and their newest one, Darkest Days, is their
best ever.... it's incredible. and they do hav e aright to be depressed and
whineyt-- Chris's wife dicked him over big time.....

He has a right to be depressed, but does it have to be the underlying
theme in EVERY GODDAMN SONG? Don't get me wrong, I actually like some
of SW's older music, but not the lyrics. And I listened to snippets
of Darkest Days in a used music store, and my first impression was
almost a lack of electronics. Why is this album so incredible?

this is a little late.. but

<<Chris's wife dicked him over big time.....>>

it wasn't just chris's wife... because everyone contributes something to the
lyrics...

stabbing westward is my fav band... and just because the lyrics all seem to be
about a relationship, who cares? if that's what they are best at writing
about... then let it stay that way..

Damn straight! SW is so damn cool to release the same album three times
in a row. Since they're the AOL user's (No offense meant - really!) fave
band, he sure as hell will enjoy each repeat.

You have a different opinion. Leave it at that.

maybe you need to listen a little more carefully...
So who told you SW's albums are all the same? Obviously not you because you
haven't listened to them too carefully..

I can only speak for their first album and when they where playing in Chicago at
small clubs but back then they kicked ass. Very cool stuff.
