Does anyone still listen to RTF?

[Sandrine]

At least 2 or 3 times (2 cds in a row) per week, 2nd cd alone more often.

[Lone Architect]

Good question. No, not really. It's not a bad album, I just think it got drowned out by a load of much better albums coming out this year.

I still listen to it now and then. It's a pleasant album with a lot of pleasant songs performed very pleasantly. There are only a couple of truly great moments on it and sadly, for me, there's at least one song on each album that's better than everything on Rewind The Film.

Not in full for a couple of weeks, but I have listened to it in full a fair few times. A few of the tracks have actually started creeping into my most played list in I-Tunes as well.

Listened to it last night in bed and didn'take it as far as 'Anthem' and I was asleep!
Not that I don't like it. It's a very good album, but at bedtime it definitely helps you drift off.
Plus I've been listening to the new Arcade Fire album a lot - I like to give each album I'm interested in a lot of my time!
RTF is a massive step up from Postcards but I'm ready for the next album now as that might be a touch more lively

Constantly.

After the initial euphoria of a new MSP album/tour wore off, I stopped listening to it (pretty much around the time of the Maida Vale gig in October). I gave it about 6 weeks rest following that, after which I decided to come back to it and now I only ever listen to my favourite tracks (which have changed since the album came out).

The album has a very strong start and end, with two tracks, which in my opinion are the best opening and closing combo of a MSP album to date. The rest of the tracks range from crap to very good/great.

Just a few thoughts:

- Manorbier: what a waste of a track, gets boring after a few listens.
- 4 Lonely Roads: Still fucking hate it.
- Builder Of Routines: Totally forgot about this song, don't like it as much as I did when the album first came out but still a good track.
- 3 Ways To See Despair: Loved it at first, now I skip it.
- Show Me The Wonder: It's grown on me a lot but not as much as.....
- Rewind The Film: Didn't think much of it at first but now it's one of my favourites (thanks to hearing it live)
- Tokyo Skyline: Used to be one of the weakest on the album but hearing it live made appreciate it a LOT more.
- TSWH/3YW: Love them both, even more so after hearing them live.

Certainly not the best MSP album but not their worst either. I have a feeling I'm going to like the next one a bit more.

I listen to it in the car a few times a week on the way to & from work. Still love the overall feel to it and like different songs at different times. It's not my No1 album but I do still like it.

[begging_to_be_cool]

I've had a bit of a break from it (due in no small part to a new Pearl Jam album coming out), but as the nights get darker and colder and I seek the comfort and warmth it brings I can see myself dropping the needle onto Rewind The Film a lot more. Show Me The Wonder will see a lot of action this Christmas.

[who's responsible?]

Still listening. I only tend to have time to listen to music when at work these days, and its on 50% of the time (alternating with my b-sides playlist (or the Real Lipstick Traces as it's listed).

[AK47]

I loved it at first and couldn't find faults but I cannot bear to listen to RTF (the track) as it frankly bores the shit out of me. AFALC is a dull as dishwater plod. As a whole, I don't think the album will get repeated plays as previous albums have. I adore TWTSD, TSWH,RAWT, ETC but the rest of the album is a struggle to listen to. It really is a mood album.

I prefer a little more urgency to the manics.

It's been a few months. It'll make it all the better when I go back to it. I'm due my re-listen to all my albums of the year.
