Good stuff
I much prefer their older stuff though

They did loads
but I do think their new album is their best yet.

Have you listened to their new album?

(PsychoChomp, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 15:14, Reply)

Yes

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 15:14, Reply)

yes
I've listened to every album of theirs when it comes out in the hope that it will be as good as The Colour and the Shape, and I am left feeling disappointed.

I'm not saying it's bad, it's just not as good as the early stuff. Too formualaic.

It's like having a drunk father; you pray he'll come through the door sober and not beat you
but deep down, you know that it is inevitable

that is mildly disturbing

when it wasn't all the same song released over and over again?
they are going down the AC/DC and Quo route I think.

they've steadily declined
reached a peak with Blood Sugar Sex Magik, One Hot Minute was great, and things have been going downhill ever since.

Best advert for staying on the smack that I've ever seen.

their popularity is baffling
same with Radiohead and Muse.

the popularity of all three is far more understandable than that of Coldplay and U2
and The Strokes and many others.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 4 Jul 2011, 16:18, Reply)

with Coldplay and U2 it's simple
they play music that's anthemic and not that challenging coupled with lyrics that have the kind of vague universality you find in a horoscope.

The Strokes I don't know.
