um, you sure about that?

no. fiery furnaces were probably the best band there.

i havent heard any lyrics suggesting 50 cent has raped 12 women, and if there is one then its clearly not true. i was busy seeing auf de maur for the start of his set but bottling was highly annoyed that i didnt get to see him at all. people need to open their eyes a little, and i think its great that the organisers are trying to broaden their appeal.

all in all though, disappointing. too many not so good performances, although the fiery furnaces did kinda save the day

just been to see dashboard tonight. im not a girl, and i dont normally dig emo, but what a fucking gig.

they seem to think that english music is either radiohead, trying to be radiohead, or utter shit. to deny showbiz and asleep in the back, two of the best albums released in the last 5 years, decent marks just shows how badly they get it wrong.

oh and if you thought the relationship of command review was pretentious, try reading heathen chemistry. no.

embrace are really great

pitchfork suck. they need to take their heads out of their arses and actually write about music

go DiS. another quality review.

was the first paragraph of this article laden with deep irony? i genuinely can't tell..

im sorry people, but i second that..

im so glad modest mouse are finally getting the airplay they deserve

i dont like a single song on highly evolved. its shit.

as do i. i think it gives the music great texture...

Keane would be so proud of the hate they inspire. and the funny thing is.. their music is so harmless!!

i thought the lil biography thing was great, playing on the categorisation of music tastes and types of people.

but why get so worked up? if half of you took your heads out of your arses and stopped thinking so damn hard about what you listen to you'd get so much more enjoyment out of music.

McFly or keane?

Does anyone else think The Streets wouldnt get as much success if he wasn't white and english..? is he really that different from a lot of hip hop? it just scares me the way that so many so called "rock" fans will be happy to trasngress music genres into white artists like Eminem and The Streets... but yet denounce the rest of the genre as crap.
To me, it seems music is still somewhat racially segregated...

i thought frengers was a great title.. not quite friends but not quite strangers... hm well maybe not...

ah this sounds good.. im still waiting for a sonic youth album to come close to the quality of daydream nation..

thats plagerism. thoms the man. *calls thoms lawyer*

the irony is the *new garage* scene is actually just retro.. looking back not forward for ideas.

coldplay snow patrol and keane are harmless and dont want to be anything more. give them a break.

is it not the idea of these message boards to discuss what has been written...? sorry mate i lost your point

"the point is you shouldnt even bother reading these articles if your opinions are really what you say they are"

but um... didnt you just advocate different ppl expressing opinions...? we're only doing the same... im sticking up for a band i like :)

Neil i dunno if youve looked at the lyrics to somewhere only we know... but theres not one single suggestion that theyre moaning... at all. snivelling snobbling... what...? at last we have a band with a singer who can actually sing and now theyre getting knocked?

sure, i hate lazy categorizations. why is it that everytime a singer sings at a certain pitch they have to be dubbed as depressing. if you want to have a dig at the current music scene, theres a whole host of shitty retro bands queuing up to be shitted on but yet that this, and so many other sites seem intent on worshipping. what worries me far more is what the darkness and kings of leon have done for british music. i welcome ok computer spin offs with open arms. if youre gonna copy someone, it may as well be the best.

as far as im concerned, somewhere only we know is the best song which has had any major success this year.

*shuts up and buys the record*

i love this song.. but um...is morrisey racist? i heard somewhere he was and never found out more...

clearly the best beta band album.... well you're clearly wrong... err.. have you ever heard the 3 e.p's...?

what? no that was a well written review. and i stand by the fact that there needs to be more slagging off from DiS. And bands should just give up on trying to recreate loveless - it was great for its time but id like to think music has moved on somewhat since 1991. we are now, after all, in a post kid a age...

shins or the stills? im going to see both next week!!

*yawns*

sorry but i have to disagree completely.. all those songs you listed make me cringe.. at least submission and shark have bite.. but and album with something like candy on it is just yuck

oh, and girls aloud rule.. anyone who says different is just trying too hard

1977 is actually the only decent album ash have done... do any ash fans actually like free all angels...?that is pain.

Does DiS ever give anything a bad review..?

are ash playing reading this year too? i have tickets but i really not liking the line-up...

young pilrgims on the way to... mcdonalds? i like it
