I
have loved this song for a long time, but without WANTING to sound like an elitist, i loved the older version better. still a good song though, just not as great.
i can't see what is so bad with the vocals though, i like them like that...
Great song
And i think the vocals are great. Pretty unique really, and i don't get the editors comparison at all.It sounds pretty euphoric to me, especially when you see it live.
unusually...
...I agree. I'm normally dead agaist the 'ooooh the demo/original version was better' fancentric view point, but this song WAS better before.
Colour It In though, as an album, is wonderful. I want to go driving to the seaside listening to it loudly. But I can't. Cause its raining and I'm 'working'.
yeah i like his vocals
but they are pretty marmite.
this track is good!
good review
his vocals are pretty limited throughout this song and the rest of the album and sound pretty 'forced' to me.
I can't see these guys lasting beyond 2 albums though.
the singer
sounds a tad scope...and like the kooks
huff
i dont understand how people can like this band when nearly all their songs sound the same!
Sounds like something Up All Night to me.
I like it though. Come to think of it, that album wasn't bad.
