how's it different from the first album?

- More melodic.
  
  They're as noisy as ever, but I find melodies from this album getting stuck in my head constantly, not the case with the s/t.

- i think the production is much warmer
  
  not that the first was bad at all, it sounded cold like it was recorded in a huge igloo at the north pole which suited the mood of the record very well, where as the new record sounds like it was recorded on a distant planet made of fire.
  
  i think generally reviews have said it's not as strong as the first record but i disagree, they've got much better at as a band and it's more experimental than the first yet more melodic too.
  
  an album of the year for me too.

It's excellent

I've got to say, I'm not really digging the first track so much, but 'Die Slow' is so brilliant that it immediately makes me forget that. Plus the video for 'Die Slow' is some kind of fucking super badass! :D

i really really like it

more so than the first...

It's an improvement on the first in pretty much every way

Great, great album. Severin is possibly the best thing they've ever written.

being totally blown out

by them live, and regarding the first album as mostly unlisteneable, I find these news of growing up encouraging and will be buying the record asap.

The recording of the first album was atmospheric

But did tend to strip them of the energy they have live, whereas the new one does a great job of translating how intense they are onstage. Still doesn't quite match seeing them live, but the songs stand up very strongly in their recorded versions, unlike the first album where the songs just sounded so much better in the live setting.

- Whoa..
  
  Are you working for the BBC now Mike? Still working at Clash...?

  - Which means I don't do Clash anymore.

    - Ahhh excellent!
      
      I did wonder as pretty much the only reason I checked Clash was to scope out your opinion on stuff - I hadn't seen your name mentioned for a while. Keep up the good work!

DiS JAG!

We're putting them on in Sheffield...

This is going to be great. Hopefully they'll give another shout-out to Mike!

- If I could come, I would.
  
  My first experience of the Harley was a pretty messy one, mind.

  - The DrownedinSound cocktail was pretty lethal
    
    A souped-up version (that is to say, more alcoholic, not containing soup) is in development as we speak.

I'M GOING AGAINST THE TIDE HERE

Die Slow is great but they're a bit silly really...

David_R | 14 Sep '09, 13:04 | X | ^ This | Reply
- Silly?

  dis-integration this'd this
  - I dunno, it's not 'my thing' at all so I probably shouldn't get involved
    
    but when I listened to Get Colour a few times I just found it a bit unnecessary and noise for noise's sake. Maybe I'm just being a girl about it all...
    
    Like I said though, Die Slow is ace and the artwork for the record is brilliant.
    
    David_R @dionisio | 14 Sep '09, 16:56 | X | ^ This | Reply
die slow is an absolutely massive track

the video is pretty cool too.

can't wait to see them at the garage nxt month.

I just got the only copy for sale in northampton

so it seems. Can't wait to hear it all tonight :)

I still think Die Slow is a bit to much like Kasabian

not feeling it yet maybe it will sit better in an album... of Kasabians...

jimitheexploder | 14 Sep '09, 13:44 | X | ^ This | Reply
- If only Kasabian could make records like this...
  
  dionisio @jimitheexploder | 14 Sep '09, 13:50 | X | ^ This | Reply
  - indeed
    
    its just that riff in Die Slow it really sounds like them and I cant shake it, I'm hoping they blast that idea out of me by playing it live right in my face next month when I go see um.
    
    jimitheexploder @dionisio | 14 Sep '09, 13:52 | X | ^ This | Reply
same here

although i do my best to ignore the likeness, im hoping too the live version knocks all likeness out of me.
