Good record

Mob Rules are mint!

Seriously?

Best gig photo ever is from the American Nightmare show in Leeds at Joe Wells. High 5 stage dive.

Good band they were.

Interested in hearing this album, I do still really enjoy the first.

The song choices aren't great, the ordering is bad and the mixing is terrible.

I like Diplo, I Like Turtles is an awesome mix, I just don't like his Fabric mix.

Picked up Markus Intalex at the same time, much better.

Not too unrelated - i picked up the Diplo one the other day. It's crap!

finally a recording that does them justice. Great songs, great choruses, good dancey beats. Great Ep.

Really doesn't sound anything like Foals at all.

We got a commuter train from Benicassim to Barcelona.

It was crammed with festival goers, and then got worse as commuters got on. I didn't have a seat for 6 hours and stood packed in like sardines.

To make things worse it was through the afternoon in the blazing Spanish sun. At one stop some Spanish lads got on, stole some girls bag and jumped off again!

To make things even worse, by the time we got to Barcelona my mate had lost the directions to the hostel and only remembered the name! No use for taxi drivers and we wasted hours trying to find it. Finally did and it was shut.

They're really boring!

is Danny Likes Scene Girls...but then I am biased as I am said Danny.

But still a harsh and perhaps a little naive review. Wintermute have been playing this style of music way before Foals came to light, so to suggest they're ripping them off is wrong and potentially damaging. For all the kids who read this and go 'ooohh I like Foals I'll listen to this' there will be a similar number of indier and holier than thou types who will go 'God I hate Foals and all their hype, a band ripping them off must be shit!' and stay well clear.

I honestly see where the comparison comes from, but don't particularly agree with it - definitely more Futureheads/MTB.

Also that last bit: 'the point of the band is… To mirror what their target audience is well accustomed to and exploit the subsequent possibilities and opportunities'. Sorry but thats just crap! The amount of absolute tripe that gets 8/10 on here just because its slightly different, but still absolute rubbish, is astounding. Just because you're different does not make you good, by the same token, just because you're not groundbreaking does not make you bad! The part about 'exploiting ...opportunities' is way off the mark, as you'd know if you knew anything about the lads!

Still, I can't comment on the ep, not heard it yet, but I am very interested in doing so. Previous recordings have been a big letdown and definitely not a true representation of how impressive these guys are live. Thats my 2 cents.

Its also worthwhile pointing out that all the beats on this album are done with live artists.

I thought it was a pretty safe and perhaps even boring album at first, but after a few listens it really grows on you. The lyrics as usual are quality and the change in subject matter, i.e. Slug now focuses the majority of the songs on individuals outside of himself, to tell a story about each, is very impressive.

Gutted im missing the live show, especially as Brother Ali is incredible!

Are RUBBISH!

are incredibly pathetic. So MCR were interviewed, whether you like them or not, they're a lot more relevant than all the other self obsessed, up its own arse, indie out there at the moment; that only ever gets heard by the coolest kid and his dog! Get over yourselves!
