Wall of Mouths

Like most here, I think it sucks donkey’s balls about the collectors edition. I also accept it’s not the bands’ decision, and it certainly doesn’t sound like something the T? boys would do.

But the fact is, I’ve (and loads others here) already paid good money for the DVD, and on top off that I’m going to be paying close to another €200 to get to Dublin to see the gig, so I ain’t re-buying the dam thing.

But I do have a suggestion, since they’re going to pressing the live cd anyway, why not produce a few more of the cd only to sell at the gigs? The money goes straight to T? we get the cd, everyone’s a winner ;)

Title: Neil’s drumming

It’s been mentioned in passing on a different thread, but I thought it should be highlighted a little more. One of the first things I noticed on this new album was how phenomenal the drumming sounds. It’s fucking awesome!!!
It’s reminiscent of early T? without being a Fyfe clone. Can’t to hear them live!!!!

Ha ha, true. If the next album is €30, I’ll know who to blame :D

€20 not bad for a new release though. It usually takes a while for the price of an album to go down, but with a band you really like you’re not going to wait.

Got the album yesterday and was completely surprised I could get it here (Spain) on the day of release, plus it was the ltd. edition. I had to wait a while for High Anxiety to reach these shores, so I was very pleased.

Initially it reminded most of the first to EPs. Probably cause of the speed it was recorded in. Class album, not as immediate as HA, demands a little more discman time, but still great, and a bargain at €14.90. Imagine if I had to buy it in Ireland? €24ish?

Oh yeah, Neils drumming is unreal on this album. Reminds me of Slayer and Pantera at times :)

Totally agree about Neil’s drumming, it drives the fucking album!! Well done Neil, nice one!!!!

Polar Bear

Well, did he like it or not????

I hate that kind of journalism, make your ‘cool’ decision on a band first, listen to the album later.

Personally, I think it’s a class album. Can’t understand the indifference either.

On scuzz tv they often have t? videos you can text in to request if you’re in the UK. Usually on the “Antiques Rockshow”, I think it’s called.

but more singles (therefore more b-sides) would be nice.

Very true!!

Good thread!!!

I’d love a ltd. edition live cd, something official to listen to on the discman on the way to work.

A cover version chosen by the board is intrigueing. Perhaps T? could look into site only releases. On the Henry Rollins site there are some class web only releases available of demos and songs that didn’t make it onto the record label releases. I’d love to get my hands on some of T?’s ‘leftovers’ and/or demos.

High Anxiety 9
Shameless 8
Suicide Pact-You First 8.5
Semi-Detached 7.5
Infernal Love 8.5
Troublegum 9
Nurse 9
Pleasure Death 9
Babyteeth 10

With an ave. score of 8.7!!!

A friend of mine had recorded a T? demo from Dave Fanning’s radio show many a year ago and myself and a load mates became instant T? fans. The demo had (I think) early versions of Dancin’ with Manson, Innocent X and Die Laughing, which Fanning called Realityfuck (hence the username :D ). Actually, Meat Abstract might have been on the show, I haven’t listened to that tape in years. Anyway, the moment was about 14 yrs ago, drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes, listening to good tunes!

Pleasure Death

That ‘Screamager’ cover is great!!!!!

a mi me gusta mucho :D

I’ve been introducing a few friends to T? lately (they’ve since parted with cash and bought a few albums) and most of them think troublegum is okay, but not great. They prefer High Anxiety and Suicide Pact, which they love.

hope they tour the new album and play Dublin B4 the end of the year B4 I move back to Spain. Yep, I know I’m starting to sound like a broken record (not to mention a whiney fuck) but it’s all borne out off a love of all things THERAPY? !!

Great to hear there are new songs in the pipeline. Can’t wait to hear them

Much like The Wild Stallions music at the end of Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

I’m laughing, so I guess I’m showing my age too!:D

Also, and I know I’ve brought this up before, are there plans to be implemented soon to use online paying for shipments (like to the states, where I live) and updated product?

Here’s what Rene had to say when I asked about the merch page:

Quote (author unknown):

I’ve recently had contact with the person responsible for the merchandise
and the info is up to date. However, it might be interesting to know that we
are currently in the process of adding more t-shirts (from the recent High
Anxiety tour) and also to add credit card payments in addition to payment by
cheque/bank draft to the site.

I’m not sure how soon the changes will be done (I’m depending on the t-shirt
designer for the necessary artwork), but they shouldn’t take too long, so
they might be worth waiting for. Hope this helps,

Cheers, Rene.

Looks like we all have the same T? wallpaper now. Good stuff.

Anybody into The Twilight Singers / Afghan Whigs

Absolutely love The Afghan Whigs and The Twilight Singers. I saw them in Whelans on friday and they were absolutely fantastic.

I think I recall Andy saying in an interview some time ago that if he could have a voice like any other singer’s, it’d be Dulli’s. At least I think he said that, the old memory ain’t great these days.

Both bands are good mates, so it could have happened. The Wildhhearts opened for Alice in Chains in the S.F.X. many a year ago and were very good. Stuck around for a chat after too, which was nice.

I think Andy guests on their last album, but not too sure about that.

On the Nurse tour they had the mighty Kerbdog doing support duties when they played the S.F.X. in Dublin. And of course they’ve had great bands like Joyrider and Pet Lamb opening for them too!

Those are the WORST two albums !!!

Really?? Wow, I can see how ‘Pleasure Death’ mightn’t be amongst people’s faves, recorded on a small budget, dark tunes and all that, but ‘Shameless’ is a great rock album. As I said my favourite T? album changes constantly mainly cos they’re all great and after over a decade of listening to T? they all still get a regular play on the stereo. But each to their own.

A very strange poll, not really ‘100% Therapy?’, now is it?

Welcome to the board though. My favourite album changes on a daily basis, currently a toss up between ‘Pleasure Death’ and ‘Shameless’.

Irish entry?

That’s it! * is for Irish/Northern Irish albums.

It’s an old lost classic from the Amsterdam sessions. They had to trim it back a bit for commercial release!

For those of you who don’t know who or what phantomfm is, it’s probably the best radio station in Ireland, playing the best in alternative, rock and non commercial music. Based in Dublin, they’re currently broadcasting on a temporary license while they awaiting a proper license to broadcast.

Furry muff… I said that purely to come up with a brand new compilation as to what was already available. I did have trouble ditching ‘Innocent X’ though!
