I was loading all of my Precious Death stuff on my Zune today and I really liked their funkier side. How did the Blackball stuff compare to that? I know it was essentially the same band with a different guitarist. Does anyone have these? What are your thoughts?

Like I said, they were Precious Death until they changed guitarists and the sound. They went in a more alternative direction and changed the name.

I loved the first Blackball and the s/t Precious Death...i listened to them nonstop for couple of years, the 2nd Blackball was okay, but by the time I got it I wasn't really into it. I need to pull those albums out it's been awhile...the one song "If You Were Mine" (title?) was awesome...

Thanks for posting this song. I think I like the Blackballs.

Cool tune, it does sound substantially different than Precious Death's first few albums (not that P.D. ever stuck to one sound). It's got a good hook and sounds very much like the 90's angst driven alternative radio stuff (that was really popular in the 90's).

I need to check out their stuff for sure. I have never heard PD's 3rd album until recently and like it. It reminds me of their first release "Southpaw". Oddly, I prefer that to "If You Must".

I am ordering several older used CDs from Amazon. I am getting one Blackball CD for 84 cents and the second for $1.99. The shipping will cost more than the CD. I can't even buy the download for this!

I actually orders 2 Blackball CDs, one Precious Death, and two Blindside CDs and only spent $20. Now that's the way to buy music!

Blackball is pretty decent stuff, yeah. I saw them live at c-stone '97 and they were a lot of fun. I do prefer Precious Death a little, but "Superheavydreamscape" is good for an occasional listen. I only just got the 2nd Blackball recently, so I haven't dug into it much yet.
