They reconvened the band occasionally for live shows and tours, but the recording studio wasn't a place the notoriously disaffected siblings felt comfortable visiting together. That changed in 2015 when the pair reached a level of detente sufficient to start working together and in 2017 they released their seventh album, Damage and Joy. Along with writing new songs, Jim and William rounded up some of their favorite songs done solo or with other bands over the years, then redid them in cohesive fashion. They also took back two songs they gave their sister Linda for her band Sister Vanilla and laid down a new version of \"All Things Must Pass,\" a song they recorded in 2008 for the soundtrack to Heroes. Working with producer Youth, the brothers called on drummer Brian Young and a bevy of backing vocalists (Isobel Campbell, Sky Ferreira, sister Linda) to help craft a record that revisits just about every sound the JAMC did post-Psychocandy. It would have been a mistake to try to recapture that once-in-a-lifetime event, so instead they touch on the drum-machine blues-punk of Automatic on \"All Things Pass,\" the stripped-down pop of Darklands on \"The Two of Us,\" and quite a bit of the weathered and torn acoustic balladry that dominated Stoned \u0026amp; Dethroned. Both \"Always Sad\" and \"Song for a Secret\" quote almost directly from that album's big hit, \"Sometimes Always\"; the former even lifts the guitar solo note for note. The rest of the album sounds like a dead ringer for 1992's Honey's Dead, which was heralded as their return to the noise and nastiness that made them a sensation. Quite a few songs could have been on that album or served as B-sides; a couple could have even been singles (especially the romping bit of dead Kennedy nostalgia \"Presidici [Et Chapaquiditch]\"). As far as nostalgia trips go, it's a solid effort. Both brothers sound engaged in a way they didn't on their pre-breakup album, Munki; the guest vocalists add some nice texture; and almost every song sounds comfortingly familiar. ~ Tim Sendra\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Amputation2.The Two of Us3.All Things Pass4.Always Sad5.Song for a Secret6.War on Peace7.Black and Blues8.Los Feliz (Blues and Greens)9.Mood Rider10.Presidici (Et Chapaquiditch)11.Get On Home12.Facing Up to the Facts13.Simian Split14.Black and Blues15.Ono Yoko16.The Two of Us17.Can't Stop the Rock\u003cbr\u003e1.Amputation\u003cbr\u003e2.The Two of Us\u003cbr\u003e3.All Things Pass\u003cbr\u003e4.Always Sad\u003cbr\u003e5.Song for a Secret\u003cbr\u003e6.War on Peace\u003cbr\u003e7.Black and Blues\u003cbr\u003e8.Los Feliz (Blues and Greens)\u003cbr\u003e9.Mood Rider\u003cbr\u003e10.Presidici (Et Chapaquiditch)\u003cbr\u003e11.Get On Home\u003cbr\u003e12.Facing Up to the Facts\u003cbr\u003e13.Simian Split\u003cbr\u003e14.Black and Blues\u003cbr\u003e15.Ono Yoko\u003cbr\u003e16.The Two of Us\u003cbr\u003e17.Can't Stop the Rock\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fuzz Club Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51947982127393,"sku":"5060467888660","price":3190.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/5060467888660.jpg?v=1761404791","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/5060467888660","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
