Anyone else not bothered? - Forever Delayed

Dext37 Fielding · #1 09-09-2013, 22:33

Is anyone else apart from myself genuinely not that bothered by the album release?

I hate to say this, but, I don't think I am?

In a way I almost feel slightly confused by the whole 'hype' at the moment - the album clearly isn't for the purist - which is fair enough, each band has to evolve
or experiment and I have no qualms with that.

For me, I just don't feel excited, I might not even attempt to find a ticket for Shepherds Bush.

To be fair there aren't a lot of CDs to buy yet!

Not for the single, no. Unless you count the radio promo CD that turned up on eBay.

The album will be, in the usual multiple versions though.

I shouldn't even be in this thread, I am most definitely bothered.

Seems to be the rock way about singles these days, Biffy have not released one CD single from Opposites. They have all followed the same vinyl/download format.

The next single is highly likely to be Anthem For A Lost Cause according Nicky after the gig last night. It makes sense as it sounds like a single. My choice would be 30 Year War and it really should be. I like Anthem but musically its too similar to a single like Postcards.

Probably buy on iTunes first and then order the CD. Did not order the single. No useable record player.

wouldn't say "not bothered" but not too excited either. which is odd, as i have kind of really liked the two tracks thus far.

priorities shift over the years, i guess. i mean it's great that they are still on the go and making music of interest, but a new album by anyone isn't the be all and end all of life anymore. i fondly remember the days when it was!

Pretty much this.I'm intrigued to listen to it but I wouldn't say excited.Maybe that's because of all the guests that doesn't make me feel it like a Manics album.Or more likely it' s a matter of age...as I'm getting old I find difficul to be excited about new releases.
