but it has been a disappointment. The review is pretty much spot on, I personally would give it a 6 but that's nit picking.

I am however very pleased I resisted the temptation to pay £84 for 2 tickets to see them at Hammersmith. My wallet obviously has more sense than me.

she's got a nice arse though.

piss on Alice in Chains from a great height.

that 45.33 is probably the weakest record LCD Soundsystem has put out it seems unlikely this is going to set my world on fire. It will do as a stop gap until he gets round to a new record I suppose.

but it was always unlikely to get a decent review here.

personally I love Violator and Songs... , Playing the Angel was a real return to form. It seems to me every review (even the positive ones) seem to suggest this is one of their weaker efforts. Think I'll keep my cash in my pocket.

I saw half their set before being thrown out for smoking (alcohol possibly involved) in Manchester last Friday. They were on fine form. They're at their best as a 3 piece

but now it's clicked I'm really enjoying this record. I didn't like his voice at first but now I don't think it would work so well with anything else.

can't wait

but it's not some moral high ground as I'll gladly accept friends making copies of albums for me. Personally I'd rather by the CD or vinyl version. I do subscribe to emusic as well which I tend to use to listen to music that I want to sample without paying full whack for or simply 'cos I'm skint at the end of the month and have enough downloads left to get a couple of new albums.

Also I think it may be a generation thing as I am wary of the internet in a way that people in their teens and early twenties simply aren't.

I first visited around the time of 2.0 and I'm still here several times a day. You must be doing something right!

Happy Birthday

not great and truth be told not what I'd generally listen to. Whilst it's not exactly on heavy rotation, every time I listen to it, it grows on me some more

but I'm possibly being a bit picky. I'd agree with the conclusion that they're more of a singles band these days. They never really fulfilled their potential did they?

it better piss all over Weekend in the City.

It was bloody great.

perhaps a few other bands could follow this example and not reform.

AC / DC, Metallica, Motley Crue, Queensryche and the Black Crowes. I was 19 and 4 rows from the front for Metallica. AC DC were so good that night they immortalised it on DVD to prove it. Never been to a better gig or festival before or since.

'music for the jilted generation', 'second toughest in the infants' and 'leftism'. As a rocker converted to beats around the early nineties those three albums are the holy trinity of dance. I only have to hear the opening few bars of Voodoo People and I'm back in a field, pilled off me bonce, gurning like a fool.

to some this may seem excessive, to me each one is genius (although some more than others)

Theoretically I should love 'em. I bought the two highly rated albums and I still don't see it. Is there something wrong with me? Am I not completely metal anymore?

Perhaps it is their first world tour for eight years.

20 sec of new album. They don't really help themselves do they?

The Master of Puppets double is on HMV for £22. This won't be good for my bank account.

on the Music for Nations label. The advantage of the 2 disc, 45rpm is that it makes it really loud. Just as it should be.

All the above is true and I'll throw in 'one of the best live bands you'll ever see' as well. Seen them a few times and they consistently blow my mind.

I've turned up to the Biffy party late and this seems a good way of catching up on what I've missed. I agree the review points to a better mark than 6 though.

without being spectacular. Solid, in summary.

but i can imagine. I've seen both sides of Primal Scream live. When they're good, they're very good. But when they're bad...

Also MC5 are hugely overrated aren't they?

Nearly bought tickets for this, looks like a lucky escape.

but this years line up is really poor.

Can't wait. I saw them the first time round and they were amazing.

it's really poor.

Educated guess

..but certainly consistently worth listening to and one of the greatest live bands you'll ever see. Personally I've liked every phase of their career, even the much maligned 'give out...'
