Those criticizing Jay's current voice are off base. True Jay's vocals have changed slightly, but I don't believe they've changed for the worse. Jay's current voice has a slightly richer, deeper tonal quality that is perfectly suited to his music. I have always preferred the haunting, droning Jay voc...

Couldn't agree more. Those criticizing the current tour or, more specifically, Jay's stage presence are fucked. One of the things I like MOST about Jay is that he doesn't waste time on inane banter with the crowd. I've been to dozens of shows where I was inwardly pleading with the artist to shut the...

I have seen SV 1.0, OATMOR, SV 2.0 with Chris Frame, etc. Those complaining that this version of the band does not measure up I believe are wrong, especially with regard to SV 1.0. I don't believe the original line up had the live chops that the SV 2.0 line ups have had. True, Chris Masterson is not...

I attended both the LA and the SDGO shows. Following the LA show I was prepared to write a lengthy critiique outlining the shows highs and (few) lows. The SDGO show, which was largely the same set, was so fucking incredible that I am left speechless. Phenomenal energy. Huge sound. Jay all smiles. On...

At the SDGO show last night the loop for Circadian got stuck somehow...after the band had finished the tune it just kept going and going. Jay stood there adjusting his guitar with a bemused look on his face. When it finally stopped the crowd cheered and Jay laughed, then launched into the next tune...

A very tough call for me. I love both albums. I do think Okemah is more consistent. Okemah also holds a special place for me because I had lost track of SV for a couple of years. I owned and dug Trace, and had caught SV 1.0 live a couple of times, but did not follow Jay's solo efforts. I bought Okem...

As a "lurker" - someone who reads often but doesn't post much, I can honestly say that this is one of the coolest threads in ages. Good, substantive posts. Very cool. Also, I supposed I don't post detailed reviews because I worship every thing the guy (Jay) puts out. He hits the occasional false not...

Bluinjun is dead on. Chaos Streams is one of the top cuts on a phenomenal CD. Served as the backdrop to my entire summer. He's also right about Jay being just about the only artist whose new music releases I anxiously look forward to. Can't wait for the new Volt! (Note the crowd's heightened respons...
