Without the impaired judgement of 4 G'Night tallboys, perhaps fuck the whinny fucksticks would've been more appropriate/accurate. Afghan Whigs are obviously a far different band now than they were in the 1990's. Many of the reviews and comments regarding Do to the Beast want to hold this album to some impossible standard that no longer exists. After a few listens, I can say this is an excellent album and, while slightly different, it's great that the band (minus McCollum) is back together.linkous wrote:Haters? Most of the reviews/thoughts I've seen of this have been at worst neutral, and at best very positive. I've not seen anything that could be classed as hateful.

"Algiers" is a "Song of the Year" candidate.

My Jay Farrar/Son Volt best of would consist of about 40 songs. Tear Stained Eye would be in my top 10 though.

However my problem, for want of a better description, is not with the quality of the album per se, it's the fact that this is being sold as an Afghan Whigs album when to all intents and purposes it's a Dulli record that just happens to have John Curley playing bass. Now I know that not every reunion has every original member present, and it could be argued that a drummer or perhaps a bass player could be missing and not materially affect the sound too much, but when somebody who was integral to a bands sound is missing (in this case Rick McCollum) that can be a problem. I love Greg Dulli and I think he is an upstanding guy whose integrity is not in doubt, and he is without question The Whigs main man, but while I do enjoy the record for what it is I can't help thinking "If only McCollum had been involved......" how much better it might have been and how it would have been so much more a real full blown Whigs album.
(Yeah I know I'm probably just too picky and should just enjoy it for what it is!!)
