fionn regan, meanwhile

was awesome as main headliner

i feel bad for the people who went

but this comments board is worth its weight in lols.

i think we can all call it a "qualified success".

yeah, seconded on that one

although i can see why people wouldn't like him.

also: i love these singles breakdowns.

i'm not a massive fan of that Marling

but that song could turn me. its got something, y'know?

i quite like this

i find myself singing Listen To The Math when i let my guard down in public

sure

its different to the "newest" muse album, but i still find theyre quite close in the grand scheme of things, especially the opening track and the sinister vibe throughout. no? all hail opinions.

i guess you could mark it down

for the extras, but without them its at least a 7.

so what?

i bought an album when i was 2.

it was Wham!'s 'Fantastic', but even THAT doesnt give me the right to be a complete tool ;)

great interview

yesyes

and i do love it when bands arent afraid to make a point.

well i enjoyed it

the defence rests ;)

er..

trent IS established and with money to lose.

yay manchasm!

what a totally brilliant song.

too late

you just did.

great review.

cannot

wait.

might
explode.

that nose..

Royston Vasey, anyone?

this rocks

yes

yeah

i was unimpressed.. but to be honest, seeing it live they put a lot more effort in than they do on record.. its just totally lifeless on rek, innit.

they said the exact thing

in Reading on Sunday.

scripted, i tell you! :D

awesome

read

madeline

is just awesome.

seconded

i was almost disappointed when it wasnt!

yep

still with those Ditto folk.

also, that missing Craig David lyrics is so totally "ceiling".

hahaha

"props" to the question masters, it is good stuff.

i don't forum much

but even i can see this is genuine newsgold.

haters be silenced!

gd rvw

rob webb smells like flowers.

weird

i came home from HMV today with a postcard by David Shrigley without knowing who he was.

it is a funny postcard, mind.

no no no

we really don't need ANOTHER 3 Colours Red reformation ;)

haha they've always seemed

disinterested live.. but Traffic and Weather was an awful album.

they're either going to split now, or keep going FOREVER and become annoying :(

manchasm

is fucking brilliant.

^

roflol, indeed.

summary?

*glo-sticks are shit
*songs like this will be as embarrassing as Nambucca on a nu-rave night in a few short months

we sign ourselves up

but dawdle on the way

hahaha

"related searches: james blunt, tedious"

special mention for the Iron & Wine album, this week's 74.

nah

they're great live :D

well, i guess it kinda depends where you see 'em. they rule in small (100-) venues.

its a bit like the offside rule

no-one knows what it actually is, everyone just has to guess.

Raz's goal stands, because he played the Snow Patrol card.

hmm

although having considered my above point, 'Suddenly It's A Folk Song' is probably Falco's most accessible song ever.

way to negate my own point.

someone told me the other day it was

"just a fourth Mclusky album"

this is incorrect - it is similar, yes, but it's less pop singalong and more rocking you in the face.

excellent, and good review.

you know what's funny?

all these comments and not one person has said:

"you're wrong, this album is good"

good point

well made.

if Foos had still supported Alive and Well it would've made an interesting feature.

but as far as the baby thing goes, i still think it's a little off the mark, but it's something that either offends or it doesn't. like, "babies with AIDS" makes up a bit of Simon Amstell's stand-up, and it's genuinely funny, but the above reference is menacing and sensationalist, which i think is where most people draw the line - not the topic matter, more the approach.

yep those other two reviews were grand

the comments.. well.. people are always in uproar about something here, aren't they?

though i guess i'm biased, i'd say this is only about the third review i've seen on here where i could see the opposer's point - that's three reviews in seven years, which i reckon even rivals the "holy" Pitchfork.

this review..

sounds like Bono and reads like propaganda against the organisation rather than commentary on a record, and that swipe at the dead kid was the lowest point here in a while

BUT

it's just a review. click BACK and it's gone.

i heart this

P&tP do float my boat.

this gig

was awesome.

fact.

i'm pretty sure

there are worse bands than this in just about every town.

mine has

this is the first song by the Foos i've gone out of my way to hear since Monkey Wrench.

great grin-prompting review

apart from: Ben Folds Five > most pop bands today

i'd have done it

pick me!

hahahah

i don't if that's genuinely funny, or if i'm just laughing to hide the despair.

don't worry, people

i hear the artwork comes with a CD
