Pros: Circles, I Miss the Girl, Doughty's voice Cons: Some boring, repetitive, and mediocre music
Soul Coughing has been accused numerous times of being a stray band of musical geniuses. That is nothing short of true. With a perspective on music very much unlike any other band, these guys rock. No, seriously. They rock about as hard as...
Pros: Any Soul Coughing album is better than just about everything else available anywhere, ever. Cons: This is considered by some to be their third best album.
Over the years, I have loved many musicians. Looking back on my groupie career has led to the development of the "Three-Album Rule," which states that any band I like will fall out of favor shortly after the release of their third album. There have...
Pros: Addictive songs, techno\alternative\soul, great music for the not-so-hard type. Cons: Could be their last one.
It was not too long ago when I was flipping through channels on my television set. I checked out Cartoon Network to see what was on there. Another Dexter’s Laboratory had just ended, so I planned to change the channels again for a...
Pros: ill beats, their own style and funky made up words Cons: none
I recently got an aluminum 12 in. subwoofer in my car and my girlfriend recommended this CD because she wanted to feel it. So we got it without thinking about it, along with a lot of other ones (old Hendrix, Beastie Boys, Sublime, etc.). It turned...
Pros: Darn near everything! Cons: The bass is usually pushed way back in the mix.
El Oso, the third record from New York foursome Soul Coughing is both a step into new territory and a return to the familiar. Produced by Tchad Blake, it has the same sort of hip-hop flavor to it that Ruby Vroom (also produced by Blake) did,...
Pros: Interesting and new Cons: May be too original for some people
Michael Doughty, the lead singer for "Soul Coughing" really hits the bulls eye on his cd. With amazing samples and personal lyrics this makes "El Oso" a success. They definitly know how to put together a great album. The hit single...
Pros: Infectious, singable, danceable,creative Cons: not long enough
The grooves are sticky, the samples are hypnotic, the lyrics are poetic and that's just a few things that make El Oso one of the greatest albums ever produced. Soul Coughing has once again outdone themselves with their third major release. Unlike...
Pros: A studio genius of an album; true alternative rock Cons: Lyrics are too eclectic and nonsensical at times
El Oso is one of those albums that sounds so simple when you first hear it, as the simplistic bliss of "Circles" proves. But the more you listen to the music and vocals, a true picture of greatness emerges.
Pros: Great Techno Mixes Cons: Just Gets Confusing After Awhile
I first heard of Soul Coughing when I heard the frightfully, well, repetitive song of theirs called 'Circles' on the radio. It's the type of song that hits you in the face once, and you're down and out, simply hating it. But after hearing this song so...
Pros: Amazing lyrics, outstanding musical genius Cons: It's just a shame that most people wouldn't understand...
About two years ago I was talking with my They Might Be Giants friends online, and they were all discussing the band Soul Coughing. They all suggested to me that I go out and buy an album. Since I had heard Circles on the radio and thought it was...
Pros: Breakbeats, A lot of bass, and superb lyrics. Cons: Some people don't like the talk-singing style Doughty has.
This third album by Soul Coughing is awesome. The boys have been listening to alot of jungle and the influence shows. El Oso is a lot more electronic-sounding than the band's previous efforts. It is a must-have for any Soul Coughing fan. As per...
Pros: music for all occasions Cons: certian songs may sound repetitive -especially at low volumns
If award shows were worth watching this would be the album of the year in "99". Not only is it full of beats, melodies and lryics that are a class higher than most bands but there are several other things that make this album great:
1. An...
Soul Coughing is a rather...different band. They do not sound like almost anything out there today. But that's what makes them so great. They blend jazzy almost bluesey melodies with techno beats and sound effects, throw in extremely catchy lyrics and...
Pros: Catchy Pop Songs Cons: Overall good just not outstanding
The first four tracks on El Oso are fast tempoed furies.
Including the radio hit Circles. After that it slows downa
bit with St. Lousie is listening. I've owned this album and
just now realized something, there no guitar. In place...
