Just what it deserves

Yep its a great album. Looking forward to Garage gig in Oct

and not Hayden?

And I was lucky enough to see them at Koko. Energetic, skilled, charismatic band at the height of their powers.

And stop mentioning them in the same sentence as Maroon 5. Please. Because it just isn't true and it makes you sound silly.

Now go away

No amount of of foul-mouthed lashing out and generalisation aimed at the DiS community can disguise what a pile of tosh this is.

He.

He.

Should not have written this. He.

Shut up.

"Obama is the first US president to genuinely be feted and adored by a generation of musicians; not only that, but he expresses an interest in what might loosely be called modern music"

It was actually in the text above... so it wasn't that hard to find

by Fleetwood Mac

not Everything In It's Right Place.

I wish it was enough for me that I thought she was horribly overrated, unpleasant and the beneficiary of superb media connections.

But it's not enough. I hate it that other people do genuinely seem to think that she's doing something groundbreaking here. Anyway, I'll have to get over it in my own time.

btw

The best one I've seen in fact.

That is all.

Thumbs down

you know in your heart of hearts that its not their weakest album. And that its also really quite good.

I could understand your gripe if it was Keane, or Newton Faulkner or someone like that, but just because Radiohead are popular doesn't make them "safe and populist" - the album still experiments and doesn't play it safe - its not exactly brimming with choruses. (Though obviously it isn't unaccessible!)

Super excited about this record!!!!

but you get the message

.

and bands do get (rightly) pilloried for artistic stasis.

But the problem is, the song is terrible.

I wish they were still doing stuff like So Here We Are!

Quite right, its hardly The National Anthem

call

You & Me

shocking oversight

never fails to disappoint

BNP 4EVA!

Or does anybody else think that Guy Hands doesn't really exist?

He's just the 21st Century equivalent of "The Man".

Nobody is called Guy Hands, surely?

massive retard.

no question

I was missing the point.

unless I'm missing the point, Mystery Jets would LOVE to be included in the company of such fine artists.

Just out of interest.

And I think Things Fall Apart is their finest moment. They will probably never better Act Too Love Of My Life.

Things do (ironically and hilariously boom boom) fall apart on Phrenology with Water -- the song which highlights the best (Part 1) and the worst (part 2) of The Roots. Nobody wants to hear the sound of drainage. We can all hear that just after we've had a bath. That moment on the album is pivotal and sums up The Roots dilemma. Sometimes they strive so hard to be serious that they become unlistenable, like their frustratingly Jekyll and Hyde live act.

That said, I've not heard Rising Down yet, and am looking forward to it.

very frustrating. Add Beth Rowley to that list.

Young, white, marketable. Utterly soulless.

Kate Nash may be unlistenable, but at least she is not described as one of the aforementioned "saviours of soul"

how could anybody in their right mind give a fuck about this?

she's a truculent, not to mention severely overrated, diva.

Let's hope they get someone decent to replace her at Latitude.

But... What Happened To You? is not on it? That was a cracking new song that they were playing live.

fucking dreadful title for a purportedly serious record. I could understand if it was The Darkness...

It sounded really boring and laboured.

but it HAS to be better than the 14-year old wank fantasy that was The Vertigo Of Bliss?

, whether one chooses to agree or disagree with Nas or not.

I feel the same way as you about the way DiS treats this kind of thing.

L'album c'est super. And to say Talisman doesn't 'stand up' is just incorrect!

The Walkmen
The Rapture
My Morning Jacket
Spoon
Phoenix
Public Enemy

and

James Brown
are amongst the new names announced for LATITUDE.

We can dream

been waiting ages for this. so underrated, and I like it that way.

I hope they play Latitude.
