at the moment
i'd take a beta band type career from them, cos i'm not sure they'll make another. monies and all that.
it's a shame you aren't as enthralled with this as the debut. for me forget the night ahead is even better, but i'm not looking at it as subjectively.
well written 1st listen! this album reads horribly!
but i wasn't really expecting anything less from them now. le sigh. hopefully this foo fighters phase is all a big trick to make lots of money, get lots of fans and then BAM! release the true follow up to Vertigo of Bliss and we'll all have a good old laugh and they'll poke us in the ribs and giggle "we had you going though didn't we?!!"
i did read the review.
and agree approaching it like a blinkered fanboy would be pointless. but approaching it so that it'll only get a high score (relative to other albums by other bands) if they make THE BEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME COS THEIR DEBUT WAS SO GOOD is equally as pointless.
i seem to have become 'that guy' who moans about a good review simply because he doesn't agree with the score. but i'll take that on the chin and stand by my points. or point.
yes, just you
i REALLY like this new album. but i also liked their first two.
so what dis are saying is that
paramores new album is better than the twilight sads. sure the reviews are written by different people but none the less that is this sites broadcast opinion. Paramores new album is better than the twilight sads.
excuse me while i shed a large single tear of dissapointment.
ps i like paramore (dont tell anyone) but come the fuck on.
there's a typo in this review
you spelt 10/10 wrong at the bottom.
oh, sorry
meant to say, good list!
next ten considerations
oceansize, mew, belle and sebastian, arab strap, longwave, daft punk, coldplay, tool, the weakerthans. i'm probs missing someone dead important (to me anyway), but yeah oceansize and belle and sebastian fo sho.
^ not this
the entire worlds general population prefer the mainstream not just scotland. thats why it's the fucking mainstream (i presume thats what you meant by appalling music).
also mr reviewer you made some ludicrously bad choices in bands. maximo park over idlewild?! franz over yeah yeah yeahs?! kings of leon over crystal castles (or nick cave)?! and thats was only friday!!
are the band playing in the same room
in the complete dark as well? they're bound to bum a chord or note or completely miss a keyboard and fall over instead here or there
black wax
is a bit dissapointing, i mean it's good but no where near as strong as i thought it would be. they're tons worse without giles on vocals.
i guess i'll be the first
to agree with dom. okay band = no chance of making it. okay band + fit frontwoman = loads of attention/hype/big support slots/more sales and fans.
good review
6/10 is totally right. Gave it a spin, kind of liked it but went back to the new Appleseed Cast album instead (cos it's AWESOME), then in a few months I'll quite like this album.
And Worlds Apart was ace, I'm glad thats noted here.
hahahaha, i'm so silly.....
I read the score for this as a 7/10!!!!
moaning about omissions
on a list that we voted on is fucking ludicrous. please stop.
Meeting People
that'll write a book of half truths about you Is Easy.
well in edinburgh
death cab were fucking amazing, despite playing the most horrendous of venues. As an older fan I really appreciate the addition of early material. They played title track in edinburgh and while it fell flat amongst the majority present, it made me very happy.
woah, curveball.
it better be good!
sound @ idlewild
was horrendous. if they fix that it might just make it.
if this is true
i want my money back
hrmm
the post above was meant to reply to the bit about timmy reading on the boards that bob will play the first 3 nights.
hahahaha
that was me and i was taking the piss. did you not see the bit about flying pigs being the warm up act?
5 day pass ahoy
for me! but i was on the ball. they were gone by 09:36am.
this is going to be phenomenal!
they're still utterly brilliant
anyone thats seen their recent b-sides and rarities shows will confirm this.
seeing them in edinburgh on saturday for the 5925695645th time. still as excited as a kid at christmas for it.
the fucking secc!!!!
how times have changed.
the kids who rocked yesterday will pop tomorrow.
good review
truly awesome band. can't wait to hear this!
hooray
all over the glasgow date
all sigur ros
= 9/10 out of 10
head and shoulders above their competition. 4/10 for hvarf/heim is a nonsense. as is 7/10 for this.
i don't understand this site
not one person here could get round to reviewing oceansizes sublime third album (just an example) but you're right in there with an alphabeat review.
foals are brilliant
if they hadnt been hyped and this review said they were shit you'd all be going bananas saying how ace they are.
enjoyed this review
well written.
i really like coldplay. i don't listen to the radio or watch mtv so i'm not over exposed to them which helps i think.
*joins bandwagon*
fucking rididulous review.
fucking excellent album.
sorry
they are totally amazingly briliant. fact. didnt mean to be so negative above.
the glasgow leg of this tour
had the shittest crowd ever. which killed the gig for anyone interested and not right at the front.
also, it was the first time I've seen them without Giles and they were considerably poorer for it. sadface.
original banter.
get some.
scottish
and 1/4 ginger.
They're quality as well. I like this song a lot more than 6/10.
lovely article
I really hope this album breaks them back into popularity.
after listening to this
for the 1000th time today I can safely say this is the best single I've heard all year. By miles.
never mind
i just read mikes article on the subject. hope it does well for him. i like iron and wine.
is it not a bit random
that this is getting released so late on in the songs existance? or is it all on the back of jose gonzalez? but aye, it's a good song. but the original is much better.
I hope it is their run
I'd love seafood to have the success of snow patrol. But to clarify, signal sparks is fuck all like run.
there was a cd re-release of paper eyes?!
that fully passed me by! I loved the llama farmers. I'm going to have to hunt down all my old 7's. And invest in a player :D
mike
you've lost any respect I had for this place with this article.
hahaha
I fucking hate these guys.
they must have been like "what a great idea it'll be to ruin their set by throwing a flag at their drummer. god WILL be pleased"
wrong how?
I've never seen a worse band live. they're terrible musicians (singer can't sing and does so in a stupid voice, the bass player can't even spell bass) have terrible songs and are unbelievably pretentious.
they ARE legends :D
I wish they were more succesful. They really deserve it!
well
you're obviously in the right place!
I was in a well bad mood last night! Sorry for the rant everyone.
should dis
not write about how indie legends Seafood release a new single on July 31st?
Paris Hilton instead?! I get the irony but it should come second to REAL news surely?!
the 1990's
are fucking rubbish.

of course
and that all makes perfect sense. it's just i had gone from the paramore review (i didn't read it though, just looked at the score. naughty) to this one and this getting a lower score bewildered me a little.
