Think expecting ANYTHING from Kerrang! is optimistic!

I was hoping for a Top 40 as well,i think The WildHearts managed a Top 40 hit a few months ago.Maybe they should have released a cd 1 and cd 2.I think It It Kills Me is one of the best singles this year so far.

You know, I bought the very first Kerrang, oh way back when…It’s had it’s up’s & downs but it has his rock bottom. if your not Linkin Park, Good Charlotte or Avril Lavshitne you gotta no chance

The first Kerrang! came out in 1981, I believe. Man, you’re old! :p

But yeah, Kerrang! is shit and so is the TV channel. Marketed for 16 year olds which “issues” :rolleyes:

Who gives a fuck about the charts?

Even DJ’s admit that they’re just for kids now - they don’t mean anything anymore. Long gone are the days when the whole family would huddle around the TV to watch “Top of the Pops”

It’s obviously not about the music anymore, and let’s face it, 14 year old girls are hardly going to fancy anyone in Therapy?

Sorry lads! :D

I fancied Andy when I was 14, still do 9 years later…;) But yeah, charts suck.

Fuck the charts!
Therapy? still rock!

As for a CD1 and CD2 - You should of bought the CD and the vinyl 7” if you’re a real fan. I did, and I’m sure quite a few others did. Maybe a pic disc/coloured vinyl next time?
A CD2 with some more previously unreleased stuff woulda been good. I’d have bought it on whatever formats it was released.
Why no vinyl release for the album? I thought the guys are supposed to be vinyl junkies.

But nevertheless you´re a “junior member” ;-)

Great! Kerrang! has now reviewed the single (a week to late) and said there is nothing catchy about If it Kills me. Yeah right! And they said Mama is just shite!

Oh well, they gave the album a good review I guess.

I know Kerrang can be shite, but its a way of keeping up with the music industry. You don’t have to read the bits you don’t like/agree with.

Probably it’s good, that the review was published later, some people could buy the single later and that helps T? to be in charts another week.

Maybe, but I think with a ‘niche’ band like T?, the only way to make much headway is to get as all the sales crowded into 1 week. Maybe if they’d scraped the top 40,they might have got some more radio airtime, but that aside, I’d be surprised if the song goes much highre given that the hardcore of fans have bought it last week.

“I know Kerrang can be shite, but its a way of keeping up with the music industry. You don’t have to read the bits you don’t like/agree with.”

I don’t, which is why I don’t buy it and haven’t since 94! Kerrang used to be great, they’d take the piss out of the stuff they liked as well as the stuff they hated. There was a real tongue in cheek approach to the whole mag made , but now it just takes itself far too seriously.

The real change for me came about this time when they seemed to be blindly following what was popular with “der kids”, they suddenly started slagging off stuff they’d praised 3 years earlier ( Morat being one of the main culprits ), and it wasn’t tongue in cheek anymore..in fact it went up the same head up arse self inflated air of importance the NME has had for.. oooh, ever.

So fuck the charts, fuck Kerrang, fuck NME and fuck massive fucking airplay..let’s rock!
