Is also a brush to tar him with.

Also, 50 witnesses and only 2 jumped in to help? I hope thats been inncaurately reported...

Conveniently timed eh?

Its not at all suprising that they sound like the kooks considering they share a manager. So yeah, you like the kooks, then the hot melts are a safe bet.

Sound of 12 keyboards proving you wrong.

None please me more than this.

Fuck. Yeah.

Stars as a whole maybe... However, all told, Mr Shapiro has not done the best job of describing a show by an absolutely fantastic live band, and if it was anything like the Manchester show, then he wouldn't have devoted so much attention to this (admittedly gorgeous sounding) young filly...

Field music is ace, but Bloc Party is let down by everything after the prayer, and thus should not even be considered, plus I get the feeling that the entire album will sound very dated, very quickly.

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned that Arctic Monkeys deserve their place on the list... Unless that was a given to start with.

My additions to the list? Can't think of any. Justice jumps into my head, but they're French... TVoTR fall in, but they're American. The Dears=Canadian (commonwealth counts though, surely?)

Timbaland as a person=Totally wack.

I'd take them over shit like the fratellis, kaiser chiefs, pigeon detectives and the current crop of dad-rockstars in waiting anyday.

Kinda hits the nail on the head, so to speak.

'Indie' at the moment is shite, at least the homegrown popular stuff is. You could say that this is the result of the release of Definitely maybe, a generation influenced by Oasis and all those who followed. However then you would be discounting the ones who don't sound like they're in a band just to 'ave it.

So the logical question is where next? Surely if The Twag represent a critical and popular nadir, then the only way is up, surely? Music follows fashion and fashion follows music, consequently they go round in circles. At the moment 'Indie' is the in thing, from The Strokes, to Franz Ferdinand, to the Arctic Monkeys, the cool kids have seemingly been wearing guitars. I'm too young to be able to remember the path that its all taken over the past however many decades. Once Britpop died, didn't all the dance music coming from Ibiza and American R'n'B come next? Like you said, a lot of great albums came next, and with any luck we can hope for the same now.

Are we going to be in the same situation in another 10-15 years, only its not Oasis and definitely maybe, but The Arctic Monkeys and... their first album? Or, god forbid, The Kooks?

So I propose shoving a Bic up his arse until it pierces something important...

Ironic way to die no?

If theres a criminal record/drugs caution involved?

Y'know, for all the good things in the world.

I must be about the only person on this site who hasn't, BUT the songs I have heard make me think the same thing, i.e that it is a little 'London-centric'. Maybe 20-something centric too, but fuck it, we're the generation that matters right now, all those Late teens and 20-somethings out there are going to be the captains of industry and decision makers in the decades to come. If Bloc Party want to make an album that speaks to them of the fears and insecurities that the world has now, and will doubtlessly still have in years to come then more power to them. Maybe this album should become The UKs very own little red book, but of course, I'd have to hear it fully first.

So fucking close!

Seriously, diplomatic nightmare to all round cause for joy in one fell swoop...

Actually no... I like the Band part of razorlight, they might actually be good if they had someone with ideas...

May very well be my favourite label ever.

I doubt they'ree going to push them into making an album right away though? I mean, Bloc Party were there for over a year before silent alarm came out right?

By 679? Jesus... Mystery Jets watch out... Proper shame that though, there were loads of better singles on that album other than worry about it later. Fantastic album as well. The only reason it didn't sell is that it wasn't another 'The Futureheads' So we got the automatic instead...

Now, the question is, is it worth my degree.

If these guys play, then yes

Saul Williams
TVotR
The Dears
Battles
YMSS
M83
Beirut
Patrick Wolf
Architecture in Helsinki

and my not-a-chance-in-hell pick:
The Postal Service

They have the audacity to complain and ergo are useless pricks...

God help us if you ever work in custormer services...

Like deltasound...

only different (and probably with better tunes)

Songs of praise is just... gah.

*hangs head*

Consistency is not a problem that I'd say no cities left has. I'd say its consistently fantastic...

As I completely disagree with this review. It seems to me that you just don't like this based on the fact that you don't appear to like the approach that it takes to its chosen subject matter... You're making a personal attack on a song. Too many reviewers do this and to me, its a bit pathetic.

Fair enough, I love this song which probably doesn't give me the right to dissect this review from a completely unbiased point of view. But hey, its your opinion, just as my opinion on this review is that its an unnecessarily personal pile of wank.

Just don't review the album yeah?

Myself, igethitbyemokids, James 'heartbrokenstar' LAMEsworth and others will be there, you should come.

All of you.

Lets just hope the New Brighton chav-brigade don't get onto it.

Ace, gigs on wirral... This never happens...

Lazy comparison man, based on the fact that both lead singers sound slightly alike. Well done wrightylew...

Isn't it? I want to dismiss it as not very good, but theres just something there that you can't dismiss so quickly...

Glad you heard the MBV in it as well...

She didn't reply, she was tuning her guitar at the time...
