Members Phantasm Posted November 15, 2006 Members Share Posted November 15, 2006 I've been waiting for a while to get this one, and today it came out. I picked it up at Best Buy for $6.99. For those that haven't heard of Army of Anyone yet, it's Richard Patrick from Filter on vocals, Robert and Dean DeLeo from STP on guitar and bass, and Ray Luzier from the DLR band on drums. It's definately a very solid first album. Sure, you can pick out the "filter parts" and the "STP parts" but you can't fault guys for writing like they write. It works out pretty darn good in my opinion, a lot better than that mess that Velvet Revolver put out. Hopefully others enjoy the disc and the next one will be even better. Oh, and there's some cool bass stuff going on too, check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Apendecto Posted November 15, 2006 Members Share Posted November 15, 2006 This won't be another Velvet Revolver/Audioslave mess, is it? Is it heavy like old Filter/STP or like the {censored} end of both bands? Yo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bassplayer7770 Posted November 15, 2006 Members Share Posted November 15, 2006 I pre-ordered my copy online from Best Buy, and I thought I'd get it yesterday. Hopefully today... I'm really looking forward to hearing it. I love the first single "Goodbye", and I was always a big STP fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members B-Bottom Posted November 15, 2006 Members Share Posted November 15, 2006 I heard one of their songs on jay leno last week and it sounded really poopie. I never liked that guys voice. It sounds way to whiney for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll like it. Usually we like the same things, so that's where I'm basing my judgement. Plus, it was $6.99 so if it doesn't knock your socks off, you're not out much.

Members RevMachineBass Posted November 16, 2006 Members Share Posted November 16, 2006 I got the album yesterday and think it's great. As a fan of both STP and Filter I think their sounds work well together. And, Robert DeLeo is an amazing bass player. I can't wait to see them live. They're playing at the Exit/In in Nashvillle, TN on Nov. 30th. I've already got my tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Phantasm Posted November 16, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 16, 2006 Yeah, I'm hoping for a tour stop in New Orleans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Apendecto Posted November 16, 2006 Members Share Posted November 16, 2006 Tickets to Toledo are only 17.50 before ticketbaster charges (639.99 after) so I'll probably hit it up even though I've not heard their music. Yo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ThudMaker Posted November 16, 2006 Moderators Share Posted November 16, 2006 It sounds like STP with Richard Patrick vocals. I know that's simplistic, but I really like it. Let's be honest . . . .Richard Patrick is Filter, so hopefully he will put out another Filter album at some point, too. Overall this Army of Anyone is a very solid effort.

Members RevMachineBass Posted November 16, 2006 Members Share Posted November 16, 2006 The next Filter album is already recorded and in the can. Richard Patrick said he is going to release it when Army of Anyone is on hiatus recording their next album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bassplayer7770 Posted November 16, 2006 Members Share Posted November 16, 2006 Yeah, I'll agree it's a solid effort, and I think it will grow on me with repeated listens. You can definitely hear the Filter and STP influence. I can see why "Goodbye" was their first single. I thought it was the most catchy/hooky song on the album.

Members Apendecto Posted November 18, 2006 Members Share Posted November 18, 2006 To the dudes who like this album: Do you like Audioslave and/or Velvet Revolver? In both cases I like the originals a ton, but think the combo is crap. Yo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess your one of those guys then. I personally think that RATM after their first album sucked complete ass. They went downhill quicker than a parapalegic strapped to an ice block.Guns and Roses was allright for their first couple as well but I think Velvet revolver was pretty good as too..they didn't sound like anyone in particular and they made good music.I happen to think Audioslave is pretty damn good and so do millions of people out there so they can't all be wrong. As far as this particular CD I think doesn't really sound all that much like STP or Filter. It's a nice mix but with his voice it is pretty distinctive. You can hear both bands in this one band but it isn't like a cookie cutter of one or the other. I think I'll buy it. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dogman Posted November 18, 2006 Members Share Posted November 18, 2006 got it yesterday evening and am quite impressed so far,very solid songs and cd.

I think velvet revolver is crap. I liked the first Audioslave album and the most recent one is actually pretty good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ampeg66 Posted November 18, 2006 Members Share Posted November 18, 2006 Just got Army, so far I really like it, probably more than the last couple of STP records. Guitar rock definitely needs the DeLeo brothers involved in it somehow. Robert is his typical butt-kicking self. Wouldn't have figured Richard for this gig, but it works pretty damn well for me. Seems to have the best of both groups, instead of the worst, unlike... Had high hopes, but absolutely HATED Velvet Revolver. Sounds like they had a couple of rehearsals and hit the studio. Way underwritten/underdeveloped. You've got guys from two bands that write AMAZING hooks, but there's not a single one to be found on that record. Also sounds really dated. Audioslave is kinda in the middle. I really like a lot of the elements, dig Chris's vocals and many of the riffs and grooves, but it never quite jells for me. Not as good as either previous band.
