Great review, thanks for posting!
|
I just noticed... the chorus of A Billion Balconies Facing the Sun has almost the same melody as The Ghost of Christmas.

Know Your Enemy and YES i was a tad rude earlier... been wanting to hear the album so badly that i couldn't bear the thought of others having the chance to listen and not me! especially considering the money i've invested in pre-ordering this album! an amazing album..... the strings sound incredible as do the vocals and the songs? wow... i can't see what people are complaining about, we all knew it wasn't gonna be JFPL part 2... |

On first listen it sounds like all the good songs of SATT.
I can hear a lot of Imperial Bodybags and The second Great Depression. It's shiny and pop, but respectful. So far my favourite tracks are All We Make Is Entertainment, Auto Intoxication and A Billion Balconies Facing The Sun. But this is all after one listen. I can't place it yet on my list of favourite albums. One more listen and I'll try! EDIT: Oh, and as everyone seems to be doing it. I haven't downloaded any music illegally in years. I only did with this because I'm impatient and have already ordered it in many formats :P I know it's still wrong, but I'm not being a dick! |

This easily sits at no. 5 out of 10 on the album list for me I think:
1. Holy Bible 2. Everything Must Go 3. Journal for Plague Lovers 4. Generation Terrorists 5. Postcards From a Young Man 6. Gold Against the Soul 7. Know Your Enemy 8. Send Away the Tigers 9. Lifeblood 10. This Is My Truth... |
I've mentioned my views on downloading before but, as we're on the topic, I'll mention them again.
When it comes to music, I will download albums. If I like them, I go out and buy the albums and delete the downloaded version. If I don't like them, I simply delete the album from my computer. I will always buy music because I am of the opinion that the artwork and the actual physical album itself is half the point. And there will always be people like me, so that's why downloading won't destroy the music industry. And in the end, the music industry needs to see downloading for what it really is where people like me are concerned - free publicity. When Radiohead released In Rainbows, I downloaded it for free and I liked it so I purchased the CD and the vinyl. See? Free publicity resulted in 2 sales. |
Posted this (probably wrongly) in the main PFAYM thread so here it is again! :

At the end of the day, you cant download physically being at a live gig. Artists will make money so long as people want to see them. More publicity via downloads can potentially mean more ticket sales.
...and of course I will still buy the album. I'm just very curious and a little impatient - it has felt like an age since the announcement, the single and the release date three weeks away. |
All of my albums are available as free downloads! You don't hear me whinging :P

After a day of listening I think the following tracks are my favourites:
Hazelton Avenue Billion Balconies Auto Intoxication Worst songs: The Descent I Think I Found (Sh)It |

Ok here's Joe's go:
The Holy Bible Generation Terrorists This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours Gold Against The Soul Everything Must Go Journal For Plague Lovers Lifeblood Postcards From A Young Man Know Your Enemy Send Away The Tigers May not be very high, but bear in mind I think everything from Lifeblood upwards is utter genius. Can't decide on this one yet. |
