Just out of curiosity, but has there been a T? album that OCFA hasn’t yet been compared to? If so, then I bagsies it. :D

“It’s like Pleasure Deaths’ Maiden Aunt. On smack.”

:o I find it similar to Infernal Love in its terrible front cover yet really nice booklet…As for the music, well, its blatantly Hats off to the insane falling down a mine shaft whilst being shafted by Have a merry fucking Christmas.

On Helium.

I hear only seven people in the country are smart enough to understand the metaphor.

Is there no way you can just cancel the order and then go buy OCFA from a shop?

hey, you’re entitled to an opinion dude, we won’t judge you!

(telepathic message to fellow wombles: BURN HIM!!) :p

The new album PWNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After the disappointment of NANE, I’m so chuffed. A more detailed review will follow once I’ve become familiar with all of the songs, but this could easily be the best album since Suicide Pact. FACT!

Its interesting to see that because of Therapy? and their different musical sound/styles etc with each and every album, that you’re always gonna have people saying that they prefer this album to the other or last one etc.

That’s a fact right? :p

Me too. Nane wasn’t a dissapointment but I still need to uh *cough* buy it and stuff…

Musically NANE is great in parts, but the lyrics are just soooo cheesy. This new album has better lyrics and completely craps on NANE musically.

I’m honestly taken aback by this album. It sounds like T? yes, but this sounds more like it has its own sound whereas HA was kind of like Semi-Detached meets Troublegum and NANE was Babyteeth meets Suicide Pact.

That’s the special limited edition version for hayfever sufferers who forgot to take their medication, is it? :)

Well, one cure fits all, eh? Does exactly what it says on the tin. Err box. Tin box.

Fuck off, you Dalek! :D

…my finger slipped.

Voted “one of their best”. Kind of early to tell how I feel further down the line though.

Nowhere near disappointed or finding the album bad in any way though.

Are we being monitored :eek:

hello all, my first post!

Anyway, I’m gonna analyse OCFA track by track, here goes!

Outro - not much you can say about this really, 20-something second that eases you into…

Sprung - starts the album with bang! classic T? anthem with a killer chorus, should be great live

Deluded Son - choon! love Andy’s soaring vocals on the chorus

Into The Light - nice swirling guitar leads into another sing-along chorus…this is a filler free zone so far!

Lose It All - one of the heavier songs on the album, reminds me a bit of Femtex on Troublegum. Trouble is that the production isn’t beefy enough to make it as heavy as it really needs to be, still a decent song.

Dopamine, Seratonin, Adrenaline - nice change in pace, love the hazy, soothing melody at the start, great catchy anthem, and the spoken sample thing in the middle works well, one of the best on the album

Unconsoled - sees T? getting in touch with their dark side again, similar to Unbeliver off Troublegum, nice tune.

Our White Noise - I LOVE this track! so addictive and cathy, brilliant chorus, and the bit at the end where it goes fast is great. Best song on the album for me.

Private Nobody - another dark track, cold icy riffs and Andy sounds pissed off. Similar to Turn and Black Eye Purple sky, very good track.

Rain Hits Concrete - starts quite unremarkable, then the chorus suddenly kicks in and saves the song.

Fear Of God - not too keen on this, again the production should allow this to be heavier, seems like a bit of a bland and filler track

Heart Bit Hits - love the riff at the start of this, and the “You see the city below” line…but then the song seems to run out of ideas. Read in the other thread that it could have been a B-side, and it seems more suited to a B-side - just a collection of ideas rather than an actual song. The album’s weakest point for me.

Walk Through Darkness - makes up for the previous 2 weak songs with a good rocking track to end with, like the feedback at the end!

So overall, not their best, but still a good album. I’d say it’s not as good as High Anxiety (which was their best since Troublegum for me), but about level with NANE. Also, I’m slightly dissappointed that nearly all the songs fall into the “mid-paced rock” catagory, it misses the speed of Troublegum, and the dark menace of Infernal Love. All in all though, pretty neat album.
