.. have really gone completely to shit with their last album. the album before that was already quite crap, but this last one is just the last nail in the coffin. and their first "hope is important" is such a great record. :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you dont know jackshit warnings/promises is a very good album and remote part is a fucking masterpiece i think their previous albums are complete rubbish tho |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so can one of you two tell us some details about the actual music? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are you guys completely high? their albums are totally great + totally shit. come on, how could the both of you be so wrong about idlewild? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
u are right |

the first two albums (+ E.P.) have a harder edge to them, seem to come more from a punk direction, but with lots of great energy. the two albums that came after that are filled with the blandest form of semi-guitar pop I've heard in years. everything that was kind of interesting and exciting about them has gone. you could play one of those records and a norah jones album and noone would bat an eyelid. |

thanks, i'll check out that ep first i think.. oddly they rated the first two album the worst on ..i suppose this is good :) |
||||||||

The captain EP was the only decent thing they ever put out. The rest is bland bollocks as far as i'm concerned, chaps. |

100 Broken Windows was their best IMO. They are gradually becoming REM now. |
||||||||

norah jones is ace btw |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well there you go. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
omg, people actually do that?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wish there was an analord release with norah jones vocals |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd listen to it about as much as the other analords. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it would kind of make sense too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i downloaded some of it, and frankly, im a little confused. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
In what way? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
say hi to mum for me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in a way i'd never expect to get this as a recommendation from qrter.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it wasn't really a recommendation. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"and their first "hope is important" is such a great record" this was kind of enough to get me interested.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shit! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Hope is important is terrible compared to the captain EP... i actually gave it away. It's been a while since i've heard it and my tastes might've changed a bit, but it just sounded too polished and "studio-ish" to me. I didn't bother after that :-((( Gutted. |
||||||||
|

|
I really liked it. I don't hear such a great difference in production between the two and certainly not in the style of songwriting. still lots of screaming guitars and lots of shouting! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im just joining in at the end without reading the rest of this (cos im alme) but i ahte the new idlewild single it sounds like a bad immitation of rem. (he sounds very stipe) and its so generic its awful! just dull! |
||||||||
|

I suppose that much is Troo, concerning all the bellowing and ruckus and whatnot. I think it was hearing a few live tracks early on that spoiled me, really... All those catchy little shouty-pop tunes but, um, "cranked to 11" would be the metal parlance i believe. They could be really quite intense, lots of feedback, gnashing and wailing of teeth, so it's a shame to hear the drivel they're putting out nowadays. |
||||||||

|
absolute soulless drivel. :( |

I lost my original 100 Broken Windows many years ago. I just bought it again, and yes, it rocks hard. Wooooooooooo What a shame they've become so shit. They had such a vital energy, like an angsty REM, and now they are like a bad REM. Idea Track - sounds like heavy My Bloody Valentine, rock on. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
even Colplay, goddamn COLDPLAY is more interesting these days..! :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would have to agree, sadly. I just remembered I saw them live a long time ago, I think just before The Remote Part... their live show was still pretty intense then, but I disowned them when I heard the record. And I haven't even bothered with the new one. |
||||||||

last night i missed all the fireworks last night i missed all the fireworks last night i missed all the fireworks must be working too hard! their early stuff was definately better. |
