The single is fantastic. I think they're one of few bands who actually came back stronger than they started in some respects.

I'd pay just to see FlyLo and Broadcast

for want of a better word. Mosvillain and Madvillain might just make up for the rather mediocre Doom LP.

Great review. Everyone seems to be moaning about Joy Fantastic. Maybe it's just that I haven't had much previous contact with him, but I think that it's a great track.

Heavy is good. Earth cameo appearance is better. Though City of Echoes really was terrible.

Love the digression about pedals....

It's so massively fun. Andrzej has hit the nail on the head with the last paragraph

Anyway, I really like this review. Good pyramid lead. It is a bit less immediate. The first album was all grwrarrarwarrarwraw and grabbed me in it's metallic jaws. This is smoother.

Less immediate than the predecessor, but even better when it clicks.

And oi, Andrzej, don't forget about my Invada Invasion review I sent you!

and of course, y'all should buy Thriller

I'm glad that's why it was named that way.

Will get that changed....

Didn't realise about the Thriller fact. My point still stands.

"WHY CAN'T EVERYONE JUST GET ALONG? HUG!"

.

that's a great song though.

Interesting review. I remember when they were touted as something a bit different to the usual. Never a fan really, but sad to see them going down this route.

I've actually never seen this. I probably should watch it.

Man sounds like he actually gives a shit. The opening triplet is a sucker punch. Especially that Tuba riff.

gah, I need to check my stuff better :(

The advert is pretty creepy as well.

7/10 is a good score!

great review and great Rise Above knowledge...

silly lack of money.

Wish they'd been like this at the O2. Why did I not know about this show :(

Strippers, liquor and Perry Farrell. Heaven.

I'm intrigued by Richard Herring's rider.....

one of their best yet.

The first disc loses me a bit though - it's a bit too electronicy. But the second disc is pure brilliant Oneida and the third is just mindblowing. Incredible.

So sad I'm going to miss them live.

Mew were on too early for me to dash from work to catch them

Literally re-wiring microphones as the guy played drums, and then there was the dude whose job it was to catch everything Trent lobbed off stage, wearing some scary torch gimp mask.

It was bloody wonderful though. Incredible shock and awe type performance. Real big rock show.

I just hope it doesn't get remembered in the same way as that infamous Kid A review. I do really like the first half, but the second half does next to nothing for me. It'll look like a kneejerk reaction, but I spent a lot of time listening to that LP over and over.

I still stand by my review having listened to the record a few more times.

Base all of your lyrics and chord progressions on The Ramones.

cool review as well. But I cannae believe you didn't use a Sic Alps soundbite! Oh wait, maybe they don't talk about shitgaze.

I conducted this review in complete isolation. Why don't you write me a response? Like your own review? Prove to me what I've missed.

I love Isaac Hayes, I love Mayfield etc. Just because a song is inspired by or copying some of their moves doesn't make it good. Music's about more than that.

plus, it worked as a nice pyramid lead.

The first five tracks are stonking. The rest is boring. It's bizarre.

it would be a cow, charging at David Blunkett.

Too soon?

I really need to go to this.

So, y'know. Not all bad.

AC/DC isn't really on the money to my mind. More scuzzy and sleazy than that. Bit like Big Business, but bigger.

You pissed off before I could come back to buy some of your posters though

I'll be back out west :( and worrying about monday lectures.

That said, might try it out based on the review.
