WTF: Foals cuss Antidotes

Why? Cuz they're shit.

but it feels like a meh-credi

A bigger contrast? You mean "A contrast" surely?

When not said by Foals.

I agree with 'Not this' but don't know how do say it.

Anyway, I think the first album's great. Not perfect but then no everyone is gonna make Pablo Honey straight out the blocks.

I'm a bit disappointed if there's a special edition with the 'singles wot werent on the album' out, though. Why can't singles just be stand alone anymore? See, this is why we can't have nice things..

When I first heard it I thought it sounded like the sound that had been missing from my music collection for years. I hadn't been that in love for an album since 'Silent Alarm'.

Antidotes has got some aweseom licks, and I love the way it sounds so cold and unemotional.

It get's my vote, this latest quote is just what most bands say about their new albums. How much can they have grown up really? I mean, it's not long come out!

is a massive idiot who hasn't listned to either records.

And he really smelt of onions.

when they said something akin to 'Weve scrapped the 2 singles and Dave Sitek's mix because we wanted to make the album we wanted to make'

silly

Stereotypical 'want to make a different-sounding record, the one that we just did isn't very good'.

--- Break (Potential paraphrasing)

Predictable 'our next one will be better because we've matured'

Foals: You are so FUCKING BORING.

Whatever 'backlash' emerged is completely understandable judging by those meagre quotes.

oh dear.

It does sound like it'll have even more depth and emotion/whatever, but it seemed like with the first album they were so neurotically critical with themselves they weren't having much fun. Every song sounds so creatively pessimistic, depressingly samey, dull and frustrated.

And, really, fuck off with abstract lyrics sang in such a yelping repetitive manner.

I've sort of vowed not to listen to the album ever again.

Last time I tried I got to the part of Electric Bloom that goes

'It's just a, it's just a

It's just another hospital
It's just another, it's just another'

...and gave up. It's a terribly neurotic record. Seriously, like the video of the olympic weightlifter who dislocated his right elbow and fell to the floor screaming in agony, I want to erase Antidotes from my memory.

Saying all that, I'd love to hear the Dave Sitek mix of the album. Can't someone somewhere just leak it quietly? I'm so curious.

the version with the two singles on it is the american pressing on sub pop.

self critical - he says he considers it flawed - he doesn't "cuss" it
adams you are reductionist, give it a rest.

silent alarm and antidotes are both equally overrated.

i love the way that some of you are almost falling over yourselves to post the most anti-foals comment on these boards

my advice would be: if you dont like something, let it pass, dont waste your time posting hate-filled rubbish on messageboards

:)

It's great.
