amazing live
very good first album, average second album, if this is somewhere between the two it will be worth a listen. If you get the chance though, do go see them live!
The Cubical
are my fave up and coming liverpool band, why no mention?!
they're gonna bring howlin wolf back into fashion, that deserves recognition!!
i like that...
Sunderland band School of Language and Sunderland FC ground Stadium of Light both shorten down to SoL
chance or fate?
quality band too, as expected being from Sunderland
plus...
its gonna be the first album i'll be queuing up for on the day its released in ages
coral are great
if there first album hadnt been so damned good then the follow up albums would have had rave reviews, they just set the level too high. not as good as tramp attack though...
certainly is
the on that nicks the riff that is
i was a little dissapointed
as i saw them live last week and the songs had much more energy. good album though, much more variation than the debut. liverpool influence comes from the little flames who they are touring with not the coral. cant believe nobody has mentioned old yellow bricks, i cant get that riff out of my head!
i really love...
...the intro track on there second album, really cool instrumental number!!
the bluetones were always an easy target for abuse but were (and maybe still are) better than they were given credit for.
i for one will give the new album a listen before just writing it off
cracked a shit gag?
if you can call that a gag
tis a poor album
they did some decent early demos tho and i still think theyre great live
thats often the case though
bands often do great debuts which are overlooked, then release a slightly blander version as their follow up which all the pop fans love and buy!
awsome review
said what im thinking but am too stupid to write
just checked it on myspace
its ok, got me tapping my foot to its steady four four beat!!
think its the kind of song that someone like jo whiley will pick up and play to death tho!!
how about,
you suck my eggs...
i like them, im standing my ground
what about when its all over we still have to clear up?
you got polar bears and final straw but not when its all over... Its my fave album by them, give it a listen its not too poppy like the newer stuff but aint got any duff songs! great album
oh by the way...
anyone heard of the reindeer section? cool little side project gary lightbody did a while ago featuring loads of guest musicians (alfie, mogwai, arab strap, belle and sabastian off the top of my head). Just if anyone is demoralised by the newer snow patrol stuff its definitely worth a look in!
hmmm
i think for me personally, this song is the nail in the snow patrol coffin. Ive been a fan for years, i remember having to order in 'one night is not enough' as the shop wasnt stocking it. I was a little dissapointed by the polished sound of final straw, though still bought it. I tried to tell myself that i was just comparing it with their older stuff and wouldnt mind it if a new band released those songs. the new single is very dissapointing though, i agree that they have seen the success and just written the pleasant pop song they knew would sell. i doubt very much gary lightbody would choose to listen too this kind of music himself!!
i reckon
that extra song they put on the first album when they re-released it was the worst thing they had released so didnt hold out much hope for the 2nd album. sadly they have failed to change my expectations with this single
damn it
im a fan af milburn, have been for a while, was a fan before i had even heard of the arctic monkeys, now all anyone will do is slag milburn off for copying them!!
They have there own sound and have had it for years now! i agreee with domgourley, whoever is in charge needs to stop marketing them as 'the next monkeys'
