this single

is so brilliant.

I don't, I hate them

Because they sound like someone trying so hard to make a sound that they fall flat on their face in cold, frozen ice of boring sound. There is no fun there, it's empty and vacuous.

Whenever I see someone trying to compare them to Q and not U I think they must be blind to the power of charisma in a band or something. Foals just aren't special, to me at least.

On a superficial note, I can't believe that the singer has gone from not just having a wanky shoreditch indie undercut to actually having a little shoreditch tache. How hilariously ironic. Ticking all the boxes are we?

Definitely a grower

To start with I really resented the 'fine line between homage and ripoff's scattered through the album (My fav book = lay lady lay, 'sweetness, sweetness', 'ask me, ask me'), but recently it's just become one of my favourite albums by a long stretch.

Take me to the riot is absolutely wonderful and I still think that Barricade sounds absolutely lush.

They are so good

live. So good. Lovely people to interview too. Awwww. I can't wait!

Yeah

Good work on getting a writer to write this news post in the style of an uninformed 14 year old idiot who considers Bratzs to be their movie of the year.

11?

Right

Way to miss the point of business. The audience always dictates the usage of a product. Not the other way round. If they'd have kept it students only they probably wouldn't have become one of the most valuable websites online right now.

she is english, yes.

You can regularly see her slouching around Brighton. Apparently a lazy, rude, weirdo.

yes

Ah yes

The old 'listen to it and judge for yourself whilst I wank in circles around the song' journo technique. Wonder why it isn't done more?

I tried to read this review

And failed. It's about as unreadable as doctors handwriting.

Wanna know about pain?

Wanna know about fucking hard?

Ask Kyle!

Can someone just explain

Why there is an backlash against Puzzle, which despite not being as manic as the previous 3 albums, is an absolutely incredible bit of song writing and a wonderful crossover into pop for what has always been a largely experimental band?

I find biffy closer to Faith No More than Foo Fighters (how the hell do they sound like the Foos?) for their ethic, progression and crossover of styles.

Puzzle has been on loop for weeks, for me at least.

Word Association:

Blood Red Shoes <> Coma

"I am close to the same age as them."

Is that more or less depressing?

yes

amazing live act.

digital tv

blindly recieves. it doesn't in it's simplest form 'send', ever.

And even if it did send, people would have to explicitly agree to being monitored. Which people would refuse to do.

HAVENT LAUGHED SINCE

JANUARY.

well, she isn't fat by any means

i would have thought a more valid reason would be that the Long Blondes simply aren't everything they're hyped up to be. I find them vacant, lacking in bite, and void of any songs which will actually stand the test of time.

Her voice is so wonderfully smooth but the songs fall flat so much. They are always famously quoted for saying they don't listen to dylan, the beetles, etc, and that they couldn't play instruments before forming the band... you know what? it shows.

"Who actually bought it??"

1.2 million

Interestingly

As far as I've been aware, he changed his looks and skin colour because he didn't want to look in the mirror every day and be reminded of his dad who [allegedly?] abused him. It make sense, but it doesn't make him any less of a crack pot.

Also, Off the Wall is amazing.

I think that

We are the pipettes is weak.

You fail to mention their other VERY good (and not samey) songs Pull Shapes, Winters Sky, Judy, and ABC

All of which are beautifully unique in one way or another. I'm glad that finally my heart got the better of my cynicism and that I have learnt to love the pipettes.

Genuinely brilliant album.

this single

is fantastic. The album is even better. I used to hate them but they've pulled themselves together so much since a year ago.

Plan B

Is like the old DiS. the new DiS is far more insular than Plan B has ever been, and I find much more 'new' bands in Plan B than DiS ever presents to the readers these days.

I think Diver's statement was incredibly out of order and was a smoking gun of delusions of grandeur.

Why the fuck can't he express his opinion?

Is yours THAT gospel and precious?

Agreed

It's a pretty fucking nice song but it's not a 10. It doesn't have everything by any means.

Yes, it is a surprise

Half-laid coverage is very very VERY irritating and makes the site seem so segmented.

Go in full throttle or not at all. The attitudes of the general demographic of this site reflects this so much.

How many people here actually know that emo is not fallout boy, but it is jawbreaker?

How many people here know that there is catchy, decent punk such as The Lawrence Arms and No Use For a Name that doesn't just cum all over marketing and makeup people like fallout boy does?

Narrowed horizons causes narrowed perspectives.

It's more of a case of

You very badly covering an area of music which is very badly and sparsely covered here. Why is there no news of other Household Name and the like? Do Lightyear even fit anywhere near the demographic here? If they do, why not cover the rest? The 'punk' coverage is absolutely dire and hit and miss that it seems you either beef it off or throw it from somewhere very high. Oh wait, you used to cover it well, and then your writers left because they thought it was a circle jerk of approx 3 egos. Yes, I remember now.

i.e. Should you bother at all with punk coverage if you can't do it well?

Speaking of shit, where's that bollocks column writer Andy Hopkirk who is apparently oh-so-famous-writer-(Oscar Wilde?)-under-a-psuedonym? We need more shit, I say.

In comparison

To the announcement made by their old label, Household Name, on the 9th May, which then propagated around most other relevant music sites within about a day.

Late news about high demand tours is pretty useless considering most of the dates have sold out already. Therefore, not very useful.

Better late than never, and not admit so? Yeah if you want to look like some fan site.

Wow

This news is only 5 weeks late!

Nice one.

it actually woud

Maybe you should consider it so this site stops being shit.

feel free to

You can degenerate this site into more territories that are even more juvenile than the ones it's currently residing in.

Seriously though, this Muse thing is a non-issue. Everyknow with a brain knows they're fantastic musicians, there's no doubt about it, everyone knows that they can pen a tune, but they can't pen any sort of progression, or create tunes which truly envelop you in every single way. LOTS OF NOISE AND EPIC SOUNDS does not make an overall epic band. It just helps on the way.

No

Only to a deaf man with no sense of what a prolific band makes.

you...

wrote...a...picture... review. Mmmhm.

What a load of

unreadable incomprehensible amateur

TOSH.

well that's alright then!

good job that you didn't produce a comprehensible description or anything useful like that!

It's Burn Burn

Which has the entire vocal melody line ripped straight out of Killer by Adamanski

what is the pathetic fascination

with the hilarious not actually that ironic or funny 'LOL' acronym on this site. It's like a bunch of school kids who giggle everytime they say 'fart'.

they are actually really good musicians

but no doubt without gwen isn't, uh, no doubt. I think the article has taken it all out of context, as far as I can see, as written above me, they're just STARTING without her.

No, it's shit

And not a patch on their first album

this pratt

doesnt deserve one second of coverage.

Maybe you're deaf

And blind.

I own a classic car

Therefore I tend to know stuff about other cars too?

That's rather cheap

Considering a good normal delorean sells for 12k.

Also, they're not shit cars. the first batch was, but it improved.

The rerelease of "off the wall"

Has a mobile phone photoshopped into jacko's hand. Mental.

Why did you censor the fuck?

When you went and printed it 3 times in the article uncensored? What's the point?

I don't think tangerines

will ever hit number 1
