Emotion For A Fallen Friend: Lagwagon – Resolve
Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005I’ve been listening to Lagwagon’s
latest album
Resolve for about two weeks now. In all of
href="http://lagwagon.com/disco/disco.html">Lagwagon’s discography
I have to say this is their best album since Hoss.
The inspiration for this album is the suicide of their original drummer,
Derrick Plourde. There
is a lot of emotion in the songs. On the last song,
“Days of New,” Joey sings “Hey, Derrick!” and I almost loose it because
you can just feel the emotion that went into making an album to Derrick
and that he is missed.
I find it hard to put this album down. I listen to some stuff in between
but I keep queuing this one up in it’s entirety. This is a darker album
that the last couple from Lagwagon, but with the subject matter one
would expect that to be the case. If you like Lagwagon at all I can’t
recommend this album enough.
