I would urge people not to be put off seeing the accompanying film, 'Heima', which is quite lovely.

a shithole full of gun crime, kids with ASBOs, paedophiles, terrorists, illegal immigrants, high house prices and the killers of madeleine mccann. probably.

'we were going to call ourselves 'various artists' just to fuck up people with ipods'

but i am very grateful for this news, i thought all the standing tickets were sold out, but apparently not, and now im going. mega excitement.

about this album, but I agree that this is a quite splendid review.

is a fantastic album. everything they've done since is wank, and as the review correctly states, you would have to be stoned out of your mind to enjoy.

it was proper good. this album is also very good, as is this review. good stuff all round.

.

lots of sympathy for the pretzel guy, he probably just got dragged there by his girlfriend and did what most people would do. though akon - what a cunt, surely he's kind of inciting the crowd to turn on the guy? granted its not exactly a slipknot gig but still...

he should sue obviously. its the american way.

that there have been lots of quite good albums this year but from artists whose previous album was a lot better.

bright eyes, patrick wolf, the shins, the arcade fire, arctic monkeys, bloc party, the cribs, feist.

besnard lakes, of montreal and the hold steady (not really 2007) are the best.

i originally thought this review was over the top in its malice. but i've just seen his new video and it really is the most abominable piece of shit song i've heard in christ knows how long. 'absolutely hateful cunt' is right.

i mean, its twenty to three and i've just turned on the computer because im so offended i had to write it down.

as for the review, its repetitive and not really necessary (who on DiS was going to buy this album anyway?) but if i had to listen to this utter utter cunt for 14 tracks, i'd be spewing bile too. in fact, i already am. fucking shit.

you knocked Bubbles. its the one song on this album thats really grabbed me so far.

of course young women should have a role model that shows them they don't have to conform to heat magazine's image of beauty, but glorifying the vastly overweight is as bad as glorifying the vastly underweight.

i was in torment about whether to go or not, knowing that really i shouldnt, but the price has decided it for me.

also, the guy thats worried about the pumpkins clashing with klaxons - thank you, you've given me my first laugh of the day.

separation sunday and boys and girls in america are very different albums. to me theres a lot of progression there. but whatever, fuck you etcetera...

is fucking retarded. 'this band haven't particularly progressed for years'? a band who released their first album in 2004? bruce springsteen references are lazy, and seem to be used as a point of reference to this band by reviewers who aren't actually that familiar with either springsteen or the hold steady. anyway, the whole focus of the band is craig finn's lyrics and delivery, which are barely mentioned. and cher? fuck you.

i feel sorry for robbie williams. days like today, i'd like to hit him with a brick.

isn't shit, it'll be a miracle of biblical proportions.

If there was nothing on TV but phone-ins and snooker, 50% of all TV would be fantastic, which is a damn sight more than it is at the moment.

I was hoping this was going to be a revelatory Arcade Fire/Sufjan type of debut. But I'll still give it a download. Very good review.

are supremely ace. And not bad to look at either.

This album is definitely inferior to Funeral, but only in the sense that its very good rather than classic.

I've seen Antichrist Television Blues likened a Springsteen impression in 3 or 4 reviews already, but I'm just not hearing it...anyway, wouldn't that make Arcade Fire the same as the Killers?

ew.

and i've never eaten kidney pie.

if we're talking huey lewis and... then count me in.

ho ho.

i bet its not fucking SNOWING over there!!!

woooooo!!

I've been sledging!!

it went from 'essential' to 'meh' in about 5/6 plays, and eventually settled on somewhere in the middle. but i think it holds up as a musical snapshot of time and place as well as anything i've heard in yonks.

spell Elliott right.

You spelt 'assassinated' wrong.

Fool.

I'm with the first guy on the fence sitting...there are three references along the lines of 'you'll love them or hate them' and yet the conclusion is they're okay.

Anyway, I downloaded on the basis of the Guardian's five star review last Friday, and I'm with them. This album is fantastic.

so its probably march 5th here.
wooooo.

I'm sure he'll come across as a cunt.

cum.

to describe any kind of person. But I think he's just guilty of being a bit thick rather than racist. Maybe he doesnt understand the offensive connotations. Maybe he does, but I still don't think its terrible.

Mind you, if I called my (mixed-race) girlfriend a 'mutt', I'm not sure she'd be best pleased.

is a bit like being bummed. painful, awkward, and afterwards you feel like you've been used.

..................

is absolutely staggering. The rest of it I'm not sure about yet, but the first five songs alone are enough to make it a very good album.

that Heathen Chemistry and DBTT were good albums. They were mediocre at best. Be Here Now was considerably better than both, and at least SOTSOG had Gas Panic!, the last great song they did.

and leave the end. It says all that is needed.

Apart from maaaaaaaybe Roman Candle. It's a good album, but hmmm.

But WHY is Desperate Youth at 25 when the ridiculously superior Cookie Mountain isn't there at all? I know by the nature of a list like this, pretty much everyone disagrees with pretty much everything, but I haven't spoken to a person or read a review anywhere that thinks Desperate Youth is the better album.

I didn't think I liked Placebo but I saw Zane Lowe play Teenage Angst on mtv2 and it was actually pretty good. Might download this then.

Something about this review reminds me of reading an school essay, and sounds a bit more like a fan writing a 'review' on a message board or something rather than real evaluation. But hey, I'm probably just tired.

My life is complete. Fuck yeah!!!

this is so irrelevant, but i need to shout it.

And I like the video even more.

And I don't care that they're not cool.

until I realised that everything in that review is pretty much right. If a band releases a shit song, it'll get a shit review.

And when have the Ordinary Boys/Preston ever been 'at the top'?

A bit like giving Embrace a bad one?

As in, we all know already, tell us something new.

is a very very strange looking man. Like they've jumbled up the face parts of 10 other blokes.

That is all.

Now I've heard everything...

And a broader spectrum of music? I remember 2001 when they were popular, and the only bands people 'discovered' through their love of LP were Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach and other whiny stupid boring talentless riff merchants who take advantage of 12 year olds' pre-pubescent confusion by convincing them they hate themselves.

Linkin Park and their ilk are a disgrace to humanity.

If we all could, we would...

Fightstar are shit. Seen them at the last two Readings and it wasn't even funny, just pitiful.

The Kooks are like, totally gay.
