Am I the only one who preferred DBTs pre- Isbell more?
Seems like it...

The band made him write the best songs of DBT?
When he left, the songwriting took a big step back.
Agree with the poster above on Hood. What an a-hole.

I think Brighter Than Creation's Dark is their best album, made in the wake of Isbell leaving. I think Hood is now underrated as its become cliche to bag on him. I will say that he doesn't have as good of a filter as the other guys. Cooley and Isbell could crank out three absolute gems per album, but Hood could write a song a day if you let him. Though some of his ideas our best left on the drawing board.
I think Hood is a phenomenal storyteller, though Cooley is better at creating and inhabiting a single character.
Also, if you've seen the doc on the band, the scene with Isbell playing Goddamn Lonely Love while the camera focused on Shonna Tucker is heartbreaking. I do think DBT has largely run its course, but they had about a decade long run of brilliance, which is better than almost everyone else on the planet.

and that's saying cooley is superb, not isbell is terrible.

sometimes i think he writes songs because he feels the need to say anything. sometimes, he writes with conviction.

i think this really sums it up. patterson seems to be the type that fills a notebook a week with ideas, while the others just seem to be a bit more surgical with their strikes.
when patterson is at the top of his game hes fantastic though.... but with that volume there are definitely misses.

agreed that hood takes a much more storytelling approach - even his latest solo he acknowledges started as him writing a novel that the chapters just turned out to be better songs in a album.

I've enjoyed isbells albums. Never cared for DBT save isbell
Posted on 4/4/13 at 11:44 am to TheDoc
Always preferred the Hood/Cooley partnership and dynamic... Dont get me wrong, I think Isbell wrote some good songs...
I definitely loved the live shows much more in the early days... never heard a band use the word butthole so much in one show...

DBT always came off as corny to me IMO. Never took them seriously.
Saw them live at the varsity and was bored to tears and left before the show was over.

The early Chelsea's (old location) shows were fricking great... intimate and loud as frick...

Lucero > DBT, especially at old Chelsea's

No way... IMO, the gap was between the Majors and double A ball...

My take as well. Lucero is a good band, but DBT is on a whole other level. They are one of the true giants of the indie scene (as they say, it was a blessing and a curse). And I think DBT will continue forever, as its really the Hood/Cooley partnership with other musicians coming and going. That's the central dynamic of the band, and it always has been.
Isbell is certainly the best guy to move through the roster, but he was never that central core of DBT. And I can't imagine being bored at one of their shows, but to each his own. They are one of the best live bands I've ever seen, right up their with Fugazi at their peak.

Ben Nichols is a better, more consistent songwriter than Cooley to me.

Okay, we get it. You make multiple posts in every DBT topic saying pretty much the same thing.

I like Lucero... I was talking in regards to the live show...
DBTs are superior to Lucero... they could both be singing nursery rhymes...
