Idolator-New Atmosphere Video Reveals Slug to Be Long-Lost Member of Soul Asylum
I’m aware that it’s reductive to be like, “yo, Slug, why don’t you come out with that Overcast-type shit.” It’s not 1997 anymore and artists need to evolve. I get it. But “Guarantee” is not good. Sure, it’s a noble failure, but c’mon dude, emo rap-rock is not the future, despite what Wentz and Durst might tell you. I’ve scrawled some mean-spirited thoughts at Idolator about the new Atmosphere video. If you need me I’m going to be bumping “1597,” and wallowing in nostalgia.

“1597″ is ill.
I think Slug, like Wayne, maybe records a little bit too much.
Besides all those Sad Clown CD’s and those Felt albums and the tour-only jawns he presses up and the yearly Atmosphere albums, I think the concept palette has been dried up a bit for Slug.

Slug’s continued presence is really starting to taint his earlier work… but “Sad Clown Bad Dub II” is still one of my all-time favorite albums.
