The more I listen to the album the less issues I have with it… It’s such a fresh album. The buzzing I’m really enjoying now.. Can’t hum along to it but who cares. Stark Raving Sane is the only thing stopping it being a perfect album and the only problem I have Is the Chorus/main hook is a bit weak compared to the rest of the song. Just hope now that it takes less than 3 years for then next album as they are on a roll!

The song Ecclesiastes I’m going to put into pro tools and speed it up as the drums sound like they are just a slowed down recording.
There is no point to this and Yes I have too much time on my hands being awake all the time.

Well my little one has been hogging the record player and is giving the album his seal of approval!

Yep that’s my feeling too I only have the best of… Couple of good tracks from the Roth era but apart from Eddie being quite a guitar wiz I never saw the appeal.

It’s actually really good… No synths, just a straight forward solid rock album. Tongue in cheek lyrics, lots of solos not breaking new ground but quite a upbeat fun album like the old 70/80s rock albums. The single is the worst thing on it personally.

I was surprised. I’m really not a fan of theirs.

I think I’m getting old and my musical tastes have gone weird… I decided to play Load and actually didn’t mind all the songs, then at work I was given the new Van Halen album and I actually enjoyed it… That never happens with them??

Think I need a lay down.

Sounds interesting I will have to check them out… can’t boast that there are too many bands over here that I have got into so far.

Paradise Lost - Draconian Times
Electric Wizard - Electric Wizard
Soundgarden - Superunknown

Some pretty chipper stuff!

Anyone fancy a change of career?

Just trying to start mine off early with his musical education… Just needs some growing to do!

Not over keen on The Buzzing & Stark Raving Sane, but they’ll probably grow on me

Yeah they are my least favourite.. the buzzing isn’t bad, very different and some really cool stuff going on.. kind of stands out on the album and changes the flow as it’s not exactly catchy. Stark Raving Sane… I love the verses and other parts just not a fan of the chorus.

Apart from that I think the albums a winner… overall not my favourite album by them but there are tracks on the album which are some of the best they have ever done.. the production I really like.. lots of space and nice and clear not heavily compressed which is good.
It is a short album but it makes me want to play it again and again so that’s a good thing.. hopefully get to hear the others tracks the recorded.. a string of E.P’s like they did with Shortsharpshock/Opal Mantra/Face The strange would be cool :)

Alan its offically your birthday over here in Australia so I’m raising my morning coffee to you… Have a good day :)

Yes - Simon is the progenitor of all this! The Death Race Daddy!!

It’s never too late to get re-involved Si! :-)

See what I can do… Whole baby thing means I have no spare time at the moment… I have no clue who’s alive anymore let alone who might be good to pop their clogs.

T? - ABCOL
Soundgarden - badmotorfinger
The Living End - the ending is just the beginning repeating.

Still nothing in the post for me though… how the fuck Simon gets it in Australia faster than I get it in Manchester I’ll never know

I have no idea… It was a bit of a surprise! Post either gets here super quick or takes months, it’s pot luck!

I hear some more reggae inspired bass lines going on, and the use of space has more in common with dub than a rock record. GYDHOMS I felt had those traits more than other songs. :) it’s kind of dub but T? Style ;-)

The songs are as standard structure as past albums, but are more about feel and space. I love, ghost trio and get your dead hand are so far my two personal favourites. :)

I’m so pleased the push themselves with nearly every release these days… Shows how stale other artists let themselves get.

I take back everything I said, don’t know how but my copies arrived today :) very happy chappy. Ive been listening all day with Jr and think its cracking stuff, he dribbled… I take that as approval!

I just emailed them… Thought fuck it I’m getting old and seem to have reached the point in my life to email everyone and complain.

Just says ‘paid’ - same as it was in Dec…

bit shit that to be honest. What’s the point of ordering / paying early for you to get your stuff sent after everyone :

Yeah I’m a little bummed about that, be nice for it to have left now so it’s not March by the time it gets to me.

Just got back from the bigdayout which I went to with Pip off the boards.. Fun day, Soundgarden blew me away once again!

Don’t feel bad Gav I pre-ordered on the 15th too and have had nothing :(

Hoping mine says dispatched soon… Post takes a while to get out here.

An you haven’t updated your site with the crooked timber album and single? ;-)

Just the Cover that’s attached to the MP3

Guy puts his heart and soul into it every year, and for that I am thankfull

Glad someone does… i was hand on my heart shit at keeping up with it.. I think apart from starting it on here, I only entered once.

The Damned- Sydney

Fantastic gig, they did a best of set and played everything I hoped to hear. Considering their age they put younger bands to shame :)

Lamb of God - Resolution
DJ Food - The search Engine
NIN - Pretty Hate Machine (remaster)
Girl with the dragon Tattoo soundtrack.

It’s not that weird… Liking the songs, nice bass drivin songs. Not a huge fan of the chorus, but only had a few listens… Love the verse lyrics.
