NME used to quite like T?, a long time ago - their sales seemed to have followed their interest - a coincidence? I think not!

nme is very lame now. they just latch on to whatever is current to sell copies. i sometimes use the website but only to find out about gigs really. as a paper, i haven’t bought it for years. i think that review pretty much sums them up (nme i mean, not t?). if it ain’t hip, it don’t get in. and it costs a fortune now, i remember when it was about 70p. ;)

Gave up on the NME years ago but a mate came to stay last week and had a copy with him. Kylie on the front cover. Nuff said.

NME is like Oor in Holland: a load of semi-intellectual bullshit written by frustrated wanna-be musicians. Fortunately we know better ;) and we are!:D

NME think the Strokes are the best band ever. Nuff said.

Oh, and they also thought radioheads appaling Amnesiac album deserved 7 / 10

7/10 for an “album” of C- Sides that feature a kettle boiling over whcih thom robotically speaks the words ” there are doors that open and doors that close ”

WOW !! my life is f—-ing changed :rolleyes:

Amnesiac is possibly the worst album ive ever heard.

OH by the way, Scopphobia rocks and well worth the 14 quid i paid for it from play.

Fuck the NME and everything it stands for

Nowadays at least

heh heh

Absolute wank is the only term I can use to describe NME. THIS MAGAZINE IS NOW EVRY MEMBER’S nme!I wouldn’t piss on them if they were on fire…

Let’s burn down their offices and defecate on their charred remains.

A hint to find good new albums:

Read the NME and buy all the albums which they dislike ;-)

Another good hint is just to read the NME in the newsagents and save you’re money for albums + gigs.;)

I actually bought the NME this week, just for the free CD.

I can confirm that it is shite, and ridiculously commericial in terms of its advertising and shameless plugging of ‘trendy’ bands.

It’s effectively a kid’s comic, even though by saying that I sound like the old fucker I vowed I’d never become!

Yeah, here we go. It´s from german web pages called LAUT (means LOUD:D!) and IN YOUR FACE. So it´s in german; sorry for that.
But they gave T? 4/5 and 5/6! Alright?

To me it seems that NME’s whole stance is that it’s up to bands to win their praise and reverance (but only bands in a highly selective bracket), rather than the magazine being bothered about earning praise and reverance from their (potential) readers. Or something. They build artists up to knock them down. It was only when Elliott Smith died that they lauded him, and that was only because of the amount of fans writing in or posting on their site. I did read it a lot at school, and they got me into a shitload of bands, but NME should stop mattering to people by the time they hit 18.

Translated with babelfish..gives a good idea.

“Fuck politics, let’s Rock” is to be read on the back of the packing of “Scopophobia”. A request, those contents of Therapy?s more extensively first DVD quite well summary that principal item forms the Mitschnitt of a concert, which in June 2003 in the Belfaster Mandela resound took place. It was a completely special appearance, the tendency marvelously, means singers and guitarist Andy Cairns in an interview. With which it has certainly quite, because already with the Opener “Hey Satan You skirt” happens it in the first rows violently: The predominantly recent public can be carried over the heads, vibrates the maehnen and does not frighten also back to land roughly in the ditch before the stage. Already after few minutes the sweat from the cover seems to drip to. A heated atmosphere, which increases in the further process merciless. A majority of the pieces originates from the albums “High Anxiety” (2003) and Therapy?s of most well-known disk “Troublegum” (1994). Even if they are meanwhile nine years old, they rocken still properly. two excerpts from their further plates round the review off. From the row only the Coverversion of a song of Huesker Due falls, with which the last section of the concert begins; that disturbingly calm cello of secondary guitarist Martin McCarrick provides in “DIANE” for a small Verschnaufpause, before it continues with “Rust” (“I don’t know what I want, but I want it now, before I turn into dust”) krachig. Their early “Teethgrinder” provides for the next to last high point, before “Screamager” demands the last body fluids from volume and spectators. The locking Feedbackorgie is guessed/advised something for the living room armchair to for a long time, but the party does not seem to have been still for a long time to end, because the Mitschnitt jumps to the morning after, when the daylight arouses the volume members at unfavorable places. Thus Cairns is on a becoming green tire because of the edge of a road, while Mc Carrick it made itself cosy in an unappetizing pool beside the Klo. If the successful direction with many camera focusing provides for alternation with the concert, the video collection a whole piece is more monotonously guessed/advised. Nine of the eleven tie-clips originate from the time 1996 ago, and it does not pass too much. Usually those is to be seen volume with their instruments; in the center is located front man Cairns, whose Gesichtsbehaarung takes new forms again and again. The exception forms “DIANE” with a aufwaendigen production, which contains a pretty pregnant woman woman with rabenschwarzen long hair, a morbide atmosphere and much water. In the end Cairns lies naked in its arms, in a position, which seems shared me long lot Pietà. There one nevertheless rather looks at oneself “If It Kills ME”, where racing clouds support the verse “Tonight I’m in such a way sky high” figurativy. That is not yet everything. Considerable colleagues, under it Henry roll in, announce praise in the illustrated Booklet, in addition there is an interview with questions in terms of catchwords and short answers, with which the members in a chief armchair alternate. “Hidden feature” is to give it also, however so well hidden that the editor could not find her. For each reference it is grateful. “Let’s Rock” had Therapy? demanded, and exactly they offer that on these DVD: Two and a half successful hours without Schnickschnack.
