dAVe80 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Rugeley, well it's all down to personal taste, and it's only had one listen. I'd also guess from previous posts our tastes are a bit different - I'm not really liking the heavy metal excess side of music, this was 'excessive'. But a lot of the reasons I liked the previous two albums I'd picked up (Brothers & El Camino) appear to have gone. Certainly the album Brothers was pared back, sparse and distinctive. This was more a middling rock album. I don't really like middling rock, life's too short. Bryan Adams sprung to mind, or INXS (not that I've ever listened to a Brian Adams album). Somebody (Dave I think), referenced the Black Keys and the impression they were coke influenced in their Glastonbury interview. This whole album sounded to me like the last two albums had bought them too much coke and too much studio time and not enough honest advice from friends. But all that off a single listen sat in London traffic! So I'll play it again one day. Today, sat in the office, looking out over sunny, dappled green Sofia Gardens Park, it's currently all about Sharon Jones on loop. That was actually in reference to Kasabian's interview, but the same probably applies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 How are we expected to know what this album is, with no description, or info on the cover? Even the url link doesn't give any clues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Thickfreakness & Rubber Factory are the best Black Keys albums. Dirty, bluesy loveliness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Edit: I'm no longer listening to the album I was listening to. was it 'The Best of Rolf Harris' (2000), by Rolf Harris? No, It was 1930 by Merzbow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Well, if Bi Plane Angel Beam ain't already taken then I'm going for that one for my new band. They'll be a mish mash band of posers all generally up themselves. I'll probably use a little face paint to make myself look edgy. We'll have stupid instruments that add nothing but make us look bohemian. Hopefully, we'll make enough of a splash amongst students for our one half hummable song that we'll be able to dine out on it for years doing various tented stages at Glasto and coining it in from our tune being used in an advert for low fat spread or mobile phone top ups. People will buy numerous albums before realising we're not hip, we're shit. A bit like Arcade Fire really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
