might sound like he's speaking out of his mouth then.

Sort of par for the course.

This is a very good album. Not as good as his earlier efforts, but still excellent. Grow up.

The debut's not really important, judge this one its own merits. It's still fresher than nearly everything else out there.

8.2/10

but it's poor, and blatantly overwritten. He's usually pretty good.

Knew what score it would get before i opened the thread.

Shit & boring, they've yet to release a song of note at all.

I like Editors, too, think the first two records are both brilliant, but this is awful. Not a good track on it.

3/10

She's slating these artists, but they gig harder than her, and have done for much longer, and it comes as a result of not constantly releasing shit records.

why are you shit?

just you're a bit silly.

Just strikes me as being really badly written.

Have you heard this record? It's horseshit. And i love The Microphones.

Would be the worst record i'd heard all hear had it not been for the other absolutely shocking pieces of arse that bands have somehow convinced labels to let them record, like Dan fucking Deacon, Zu, Sun0)))), Mastodon & Pissed Jeans.

Comfortably his/their worst since the Microphones debut.

I didn't notice someone had already cracked that amazing gag.

His other ones have been pretty shit, but i like this.

Frost is god.

Looked rubbish.

(Except Elbow)

It's 'Sea Sew' by the way, and it is a very good record, yeah.

I'd have to say The Horrors is the best of that bunch.

If Speech fucking Debelle or La Roux win it then they should probably call it a day after this year. A completely irrelevant award. The fact that Kasabian are on the list puts me off watching or having any interest at all in it. They quite obviously don't know what they're talking about.

I'm not sure of the cut-off dates, i don't think they go off calender year, do they? I really can't think of any great British records of 2009, but the following are all better than anything on that list barring The Horrors.

Antony and the Johnsons - The Crying Light
Dananananaykroyd - Hey Everyone!
Dutch Uncles - Dutch Uncles
Fanfarlo - Reservoir
Gomez - A New Tide (srrsssly!)
Sky Larkin - The Golden Spike
Video Nasties - On All Fours

It's a shame when writers have to lower themselves to this kind of stuff.

Anyone who thinks that is a bit silly.

these nobbies wouldn't know a song if it slapped them in the face.

I hate them. Get rid of them. Cheers.

A great band, and nice folks by the looks of it. Their tour diary last year was probably the best thing on the site (barring my output, obviously).

Seems odd.

I should read things through.

aA haven't dumped them, surely?

infact, his only two poor records, but 3/10, fuck off, stupid cunt.

as much as i do like that Slowdive LP.

Most of them aren't, either.

wouldn't be in my top 20 albums of the year thus far.

But y'know, playing in London is neither here nor there. Full of gays.
