Just went to Tesco's on my lunch break and there were no copies left! A good sign that it's selling?

And I'm fine LS4E

good to hear mate - i know it's a question that crops up and up so it's tempting to give a "straight" answer, as it were. glad you are OK, matey.

Haha it does a bit! It's ripe for a mash up

That song by the slag that used to be in the Sugababes samples that Lenny Kravitz song that everyone says sounds like Hazelton Avenue :P

Abstract Unknown Girl 22-09-2010 15:26

:up: Didn't know that, but that explains a lot!

The Piano at the start of Golden Platitudes reminds me of the start of Angels by Robbie, but when James starts singing it sounds more like the verse at the start of Come Undone by Robbie.

Think this album is gonna be a SATT, getting a little bored of it already.

SKON is bloody ace. I can't believe I wasn't that fond of it at first. I don't get all the negativity towards Auto Intoxication - I think it's bloody brilliant.

franny 22-09-2010 17:28

I don't want to start a new thread as there are far too many but what's the conensus on SKON and the demo? I prefer Nicky singing

hummingbird 22-09-2010 17:34

oh god ..i go away for two weeks (holiday..very lovely ta) and everthing goes mental..i can't keep up with all this promo catch-up business.. i have too much going on! Even Sean interviews to add to the list.. not fair! :p

i've only listened to the album a couple times but after the shock of the single only at 28 i'm thrilled the album is doing really well :D

Ditto. As I've said before around here somewhere Nicky Wire may not have a technically good voice but it has a certain soul to it

I'm not sure what I think about this album yet. It's very mainstream a la Send Away The Tigers, which I liked, and I understand that it was the objective but it still feels odd to me. Although, I think that will change after a few more listens.

The only thing I feel strongly about at this point is that the album should have been 10 tracks. All We Make is Entertainment is a fitting end and the last two songs just seem tacked on for the sake of making the album 12 tracks.

Favorite tracks: Postcards From A Young Man (does anyone else think the chorus sounds like U2's Windows in the Skies?), Some Kind Of Nothingness, Golden Platitudes, All We Make is Entertainment

"We're so post-modern, We're so post-everything"
