I occasionally flick to the Kerrang radio channel on freeview and it’s almost always awful pop-rock. If that’s what the people at Kerrang think rocks then I’m not surprised they find Crooked Timber hard going. It’s a great album and unlike most of what gets played on Kerrang, it rocks!

I doubt the editorial element of the magazine have much influence over the channel - its probably a branding arangement. All those channels seem to be run in the same format (kiss, nme ect…)
That said, the magazine is a pile of shit these days, I cancelled my subscription last year after 15 years.
Every time I put that channel on its got Jack fucking Black doing ‘Tribute’ - I swear that is the only fucking video they have, and its just played on the hour, every hour.

My Passion are from my home town, used to play as a band called Shard, they were awful then and they’re even worse now, it’s not rock, it’s pop and bad pop at that.

Forgive me if this has been mentioned already, but it’s a complete mistery to me why they left off the original version of Crooked Timber. So now we have the b-sides added but we lose the song for which a brilliant video was made?
Still a nice release though. Love those sample versions. Cheers, TW

Every time I turn it on its always ‘Loser from pop/rock band’s 10 greatest videos of all time’. And its always the same videos - no matter who goes on it. Buddy Holly by Weezer and that “funny” Foo Fighters one every damn time! Im pretty sur e when they get asked to do that show they are given a list of K! approved videos to choose from.
These would be mine:
Blood and Thunder - Mastodon
Hysteria - Muse
Weeds - Life Of Agony
One - Metallica
Introducing Palace Players - Mew
Die Laughing - T?
Stripsearch - FNM
Only Happy When It Rains - Garbage
I Wanna Go where the people go - wildhearts
Free - VAST
OK, i know i have gone woefully off topic for which I will no doubt be in trouble and will have removed to a new thread which no-one will probably care about so back on topic - is this new version of the album really worth it? Bear in mind i’m not a geek who has to buy EVERYTHING a band releases!

I was pleased to see it in HMV on Friday. They also had a few copies of Troublegum downstairs by the games in the “you should probably know about these albums” section (you know, Nevermind, RATM’s debut, stuff like that).
£15 though. I paid about that for the LP. Might still buy it at some point if only because I don’t have a CD copy.

i hate to say it but the deluxe edition has little purpose unless your in to your collecting or dont own the original. its basically the album with 2 film samples added to the start of tracks, a different mix of the title track which was already available a year ago on the single (which should have been added on as a bonus, not replacing the original even if it is a better version) and then bonus tracks 2 of which were on a single and 2 of which to me are unfortunatly underwhelming remixes, was expecting so much from the bong-ra one but it missed the mark to me. (best remix is the subglitch and stitch exiles remix which is on the exiles single)

Personally I think the best new addition is the Magic Mountain remix, it rocks! Plus the Exiles remix sounds awesome in my car with the bass on full, even if this dub step thing isn’t really my cup of tea.

Yep Kerrang is awful, same shit different day, i used to get excited seeing some rare 90s gem on MTV2, sadly thats also went down the pan
Scuzz was great when it started, played alot of T?, (ive seen Screamager, Turn, Opal Mantra, Nowhere, Teethgrinder, Stories, Lonely Cryin Only, Bad Karma, Little Tongues, Diane, Rock You Monkeys, Rise Up, Trigger Inside, and Die Laughing all on that channel)

I agree, though if you buy only one, personally I think you have to go for the original, I don’t think the deluxe edition does the original much justice.

I certainly don’t like the idea of the original version of Crooked Timber being swapped for the remix. I think that version lost a lot of the power that makes me love the track so much.

Gotta agree about Kerrang! TV. Same songs over and over. As for Crooked Timber gold - you don’t HAVE to buy it. I probably will, so like many others on here, I will have (3xCD - Promo, standard (both signed at hmv belfast) and gold cds and 1x vinyl) 4 copies of it! Haven’t heard the remixes - though I’m generally not a fan of remixes.

Hi guys,
I’ve bought the deluxe gold edition one month ago more or less through online order as i live in a fantastic country and all the rest is history… Anyway i think i was the first person i did that! The fact is that you get all the b sides from the single (don’t try, low winter sun) and some dubstep remixes or alternative mixes that have been done to the original songs. It’s cool enough, in fact i really enjoyed those songs (much better than the original tracks)
Cheers.

The only reason I bought it was for the different coloured cover, I can confirm that the cover is indeed a different colour, and after one spin of the disc it has been archived on the shelf.
Cant see me listening to it again over the original. Its just nice to have.

question about the gold disc:
i noticed that the production on the original CD is different from the product of the 2 bsides on the CT single (i.e. if you play LWS & DT after the entire CT album you can tell they were not recorded at the same time - I usually have to turn the volume up)
so my question is, has this been corrected on the gold disc, or is the production the exact same as on the original disc + the single?

I like the sample version of Magic Mountain, it really improves the original song. Bad Excuse sounds a bit better too. I’m not a huge fan of the snug slut remix of Magic Mountain, it sounds a bit cheesy like the sort of music I saw on a staff training video when starting work at Tescos.

Why 2 new versions Magic Mountain, and not the full 20 minute ‘mega’ version they were yapping on about at the release of the original CD.
Remixes are cack!
Not one T? remix has aged well.
A proper ‘Rare, Unreleased and Demo Tracks’ album would have been way better than this Gold version.
Isn’t there a time limit on music copyrights?
Surely by now they can assemble a CD with few of their unreleased, vinyl only, mega rare b-sides, etc.
Even if it’s only available to buy direct from this site.

I’ve bought the reissue version of CT and to be honest, I was expecting better. The remixes of the tracks between 1 and 10 were good as were the b-side tracks but its nothing special. I noticd samples on the remixes that wouldn’t be out of place on the original release…than again, a few smaples scattered wouldn’t have gone amiss on it (original album) either, to beef it up more…though its still a fucking great album.
As for that Kerrap! review, it was always going to be a fan’s album rather than the causual listener - can’t see a MCR fan listening to it before, say, Troublegum.
