not looking like a Lord of the Rings extra.

the album is garbage.
same goes for the new AFI album, insipid and completely forgettable.

I would have given it 4, and I was prepared to like it if it was any good.

saw them twice in the 90s.
Yow is possibly the best frontman Ive ever witnessed.
as i recall, no one gave much of a fuck about them at the time, now theyve reformed its like the second coming of Jesus (lizard).
at least their getting their dues. better late than never.

much more interested in TMV's ongoing offerings than another reunion of another band that had its day.
The Volta are where its at!

I never found Kid A hard to get into in any way, it had dynamic disturbed tracks like national anthem and seductive slow burners like HTDC. I loved the pre Kid A stuff as much as anyone but the left turn was welcome, much preferable than releasing an OK Computer clone.

TZU are not

but records where you just get a crowd of people to do stuff are lame. I want to see band members eating lightbulbs and wearing beards of bees.

to be a prog metal fan

nevermind

they might have worn out their welcome at all.

fucking music nazis shit me. I like DiS AND I like metal so i invite you miserable gits to gargle my man gravy.

place called New Cross.
I initially thought "bit early to be announcing artists for easter festivals isnt it".
now I think about it what we need is a crucifixion-themed metal festival at easter.

know a lot about journalism.
what, you're not journalists?
then what do you know about writing content that's readable and entertaining and informative in a small amount of space?
oh, proclamations of "shame" really make you come across as some finger waggling malcontent.

grinderman being remixed is newsworthy.
you aint as smart as you think mate.

in a band is no substitute for independent thinking.

you reckon the live version of Morning Bell from i might be wrong is a hideous mistake?
if so, as requested, I tell you the following: "the latter isn’t a hideous mistake that should have been left unheard."
If not, what is this latter version of which you speak?

no!

that sounds awfully dull. Hardly the most exciting act with the full band.

with people doing air guitar? What are you, the cool police?

is getting cold, you pink flabby malcontent. Eat up.

very insightful

an ecstacy pioneer in the early eighties you know.
and that's an awesome clip, I remember it well from the day.

the fucking cunts, bloody fuck, I shat my pants.
they weren't real bands when I typed this but by now someone has probably given one of these names to their new band.

am bemused by the inclusion of panic at the disco. Why swallow their "we're now serious musos" marketing angle? They should pay the piper for the crap they have already released. I cant speak for the album but 9 in the afternoon blows goats. what a lame song.

are updated all the time and Diver aint Nostradamus you know. the comments at the bottom of the NME story give it away that the article has been changed.

valium or something man. you're coming across as a bit of a dick.

is garage not hip hop. And (groan) the genre is not called rap, calling it so is a dead giveaway.
Bowie, McCartney, Gilmour: ready for the glue factory.

No bowing to hysterical PC thugs for him.

you prefer a bunch of guys in sci fi/monster costumes with a gravel-throated singer to sing about? Waterloo fucking Sunset?

enough with the usual indie suspects please. Los Campinos my arse. Pitchfork shits me.

I agree with Cut Copy though, I find their music a little limp wristed.

and Dig Lazarus Dig.

you dont pay to have tour listings printed. send a press release to media organisation. if the organisation requires content, which it should, it picks up the release. So much simpler than some retarded conspiracy theorty.

bitter people out there.
Does their success and critical acclaim irk you nobodies so much?
Its not about mp3s etc, its about the music. And Radiohead's output is the most skillfully crafted music going around.
And Carzy, they can't release it for free because EMI has the marketing rights. Duh!

as usual there are plenty of misreable gits wanting to attack the writer and the article.
Hey, you whingers write an interesting and insightful article then. Can't do it? Of course you cant. Yet you bag someone who can.

Not content here in Oz with bombarding you with crap garage bands and tryhard "indie" outfits like operator please, here comes Aussie hip hop from the Adelaide suburbs!
Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Perhaps my indignation comes from pitchforks stated hatred of Tool and The Mars Volta. "Oh its prog it must be bad".
I stand by my remarks that the site is bloated with boring pics of live acts and is generally dull to read.

subjective reviews, boring articles, endlesss photos that noone cares about.
Massive indie pretension.
DiS has better articles and much much better reviews. Im neither from Uk or US so no parochialism at work here.

must be playing

love your work Diver

crappy indie-by-numbers with not an ounce of originality. An point extra off for having music indistry executive parents and purporting to be a product of some grass roots scene.

"Bono is a cock" "U2 havent had any good songs for years" wow such original sentiments.
A cock he may be but U2 have done more for music over the years than all your Indie flavours-of-the-month put together.

Spammy

from the thread a bit there. Oh well.

three weeks ago in Perth they were a revelation. The Astbury vocal sample actually worked well live, though I had expected we would get live vocals. I was overall delighted with their surprisingly heavy sound.

is getting a free ride from media and punters in Oz. Maybe to do with at least one band member having a music industry executive parent. My god they suck. Ive been abused in Oz site forums for bagging these guys. Why should they not pay their dues?

the production on ST is amazing and the emotional punch is unsurpassed. Essential. I was a bit disappointed with get lonely though, it seemed to run out of steam after four songs.

the drums were lacking a bit of oomph but St Anger was the heaviest thing to come along from any band in years, I reckon it breathed new life into metal and am surprised that so many didnt like it because the production wasn't slick enough. everyone reveres AJFA but the production on that is muddier that SA.
