It's a brilliant record. It's a 9 to TDAG's 10, sure, but it's still brimming with YET MORE progression and invention and 10x anything anyone anywhere near their genepool has the capability of writing.

You've been there from the start but fail to note the cavernous progression they've made from record to record? You give the album a 6 because you can't make out the lyrics?

Give it another month's listen and I'm sure you'll regret that score.

of straight down the line pop songs Eddie Vedder and co have ever written."

^ Obviously never heard Yield.

Although he only did Katie Cruel at the front and un mic'd up.

Crowd was immaculate like you say. To the point of mass shushing of louder members during Pecknold's solo stint.

And you think they take themselves too seriously...

Doh.

and awkwardly crass, that even I (he) could be the star."

Missed a trick there, Sean!

Don't particularly care about FOTL but it always disgusts me when bands pull this particularly rotten cliche from the box.

If it's against everything you stand for, your principals are particularly flimsy because you wouldn't do it otherwise now, would you?

Frightened Rabbit were lost in a hall that big, sound was awful and their refusal to employ a bass in 90% of their songs only helped to make them sound even more tinny. Live, his vocals aren't so much tortured as plainly out of tune.

Death Cab, on the other hand, were magnificent. Leaving half way through? You're either mad, jaded or complacent.

Opening with Employment Pages was a stroke of genius and only proves how dedicated this band is to creating a truly nuanced set.

If you're failing to see why in the likes of Bixby, Why you'd Want To Live Here or Transatlanticism, as the ultimate show closer, they don't 'warrant devotion or even acclaim' you don't deserve to be palming this bullshit, half baked opinion onto us in this 'offical' capacity.

Burn yourself at the steak after washing your mouth out with acid.

I had tickets for this but did not make it.

Robin looks a lot liek Simon Neil ^ there.

is really bloody good!?

with a bit more to say maybe?

live too.

London bastards.

wrap Zach De La Rocha in cotton wool.

"DiS will therefore return to being an independently-owned website."

Kind of set alarm bells ringing in terms of a reducton in financial resources, no?

Big shame if Mike's been given the push. This was one of the best music features i've read in a long while.

for a return to the Feed Me Weird Things/Big Loada days.

Journey to Reedham / UFOs Over Leytonstone etc = sexual.

fuck it. I'm really happy for Paul. Milo deserved to be way more succesful but they weren't so, with a family and bills to pay, he joined the Automatic.

Which one of us wouldn't do the same?

This record might "straddle the fence between boundary-pushing rockers and well-preened popsters" but, considering how dreadful their debut was, that's a massive improvement and it's all down to Paul.

In Magazines they have a song that's gonna get his voice all over daytime Radio 1 so fair play. He deserves it.

snappy releases, huh!?

and it wrote me back that I was never crowned king of the jungle,
so there's and end to my horizon.

Sorry. What?!

Shins?

very enjoyable.

If i were to offer one criticism it would be the vocals, when used, aren't that great.

when they've done melodic in the past they've done it very well - Iron Tusk, Blood and Thunder, Wolf is Loose etc.

I have every faith this record will slay.

Are you mad!?

Beat me to it. But we're both right!

record cover's a bit of an Ire Works rip, no?

wrote the Death Cab 'review' can suck my fat one.

at the jagtastic review of your own set!

plays the opening riff to Cath actually...

Yes, i'm one of those many avid fans.

Birmingham, Manchester and London next week. Oh yeah. Love me some Gibbo.

although i'd much prefer it if Mullers was singing lead vox.

that's where you sourced your username?

weren't around when Marion re-formed then!

and loved Joy Division and you didn't once make a trip to see it, i think that makes you the odd one!

Me and my friends used to sneak in and get drunk by it all the time.

gave it 6 because it has been released totally against the wishes of the band AND because it's morsal pickings of three terrific albums, which should really be heard in their own right.

But he didn't say any of that up ^ so i can't be sure. But I reckon.

on you, Nick Southall, for leaving out Anthrax vs Public Enemy.

The tune that started it all off!!

The first two to WP. WP was the start of the slower, more atmospheric era of the Deftones.

First two were just sheer rock.

For what it's worth, ATF is, imo, by far their best.

I find their attempts to cram so much into their sound a little off-putting.

in liking retro music shocker!

Kharas?

very weird considering the bum love handed out in the review.

Can't wait to hear this.

Lol

Lots of shit.

The end.

I've never heard this. Intense.

Thanks!

More like it.

formulating a list like this...to completely over look Bleach is crackers.

Aero Zeppelin and Oh The Guilt were the 'cool' picks - the proof you know your Nirvana back cat. You had to balance out the inevitability of SLTS and Lithium - that's understandable...

...but no Mr Moustache, School, Negative Creep or even About a Girl?

That is just insane.

This has been on sale for months. They're also playing Manchester too so it's hardly a one off.

^ that Biffy ^

for a bit!
