Designer1 Posted September 9, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted September 9, 2016 It's very, very emotive and has an eerie fragility to it that I suppose was to be expected. Basically, it sounds like a bloke who has had the shit kicked out of him mentally and then written an album. It's brilliant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting emotion, but my gosh. I'm sat at my desk both amazed and wanting to cry at the same time. 2 hours ago, Designer1 said: Basically, it sounds like a bloke who has had the shit kicked out of him mentally and then written an album. I think that's a top way of describing it. It's bleak, black, haunting. And brilliant - if it's suitable to use that word. The lyrics. God. "Soon the children will be rising" on Distant Sky. I've been listening to Foreverland for the past week. I think the tweeness of that has made this seem even more bleak. How on earth he pulled this out I don't know. It's not one for listening to whilst driving. Edited September 9, 2016 by Pilchard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 There's a whole series of those Pressure Sounds releases where clearly somebody that cared was involved in the artwork. But yes, the Bunny Lee is the best of the bunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What shite, not your usual class mate Well ya know how it is mate, you've got to have some shite in your life to appreciate the finer things in life. On a serious note it rarely gets played but in all honestly when it takes my mood it's an half decent album for what it is. its a bit like the clash, but then again I'm not really into them either. Their second album was utter shite and anything else Pete docherty did was garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was OK, but I pointed out that it was just a mix of The Clash and The Kinks. She agreed - and these days she plays The Clash and The Kinks far more than The Libertines.
