Have all albums this year from established bands been SHIT?

[El Presidente]

Oi I'm from Brighton I live in Coventry. The Enemy's reputation has suffered up here since the last album. Its a shame really as the first album was great. Their performance up here at the Ricoh supporting Oasis was a let down.

I'm from Brighton and live in Manchester :hammer:

Does that make you a mancunian?

My mum lives in a small village in Ireland, and she told the neighbours that I had moved up north and married a local MANCHURIAN. When I visited her for the first time there the neighbours were expecting my kids to be oriental looking, and were very confused!

Getting back to the Music. How many songs on The Enemy's album are rip offs.

I saw Editors in San Fran last year and they were great, hope they can buck the trend of the last few albums I have bought.

nothing wrong with Humbug IMHO, just a young band growing up and although it lacks the novelty of American Idiot, 21st Century Breakdown is far from being shit.
Hombre Loco by Eels is a stone cold classic, and for those who appreciate good honest hip-hop despite without getting all precious about where it comes from, The Hilltop Hoods have delivered once again. Last, and by no means least, Mozza delivered a superb album (and that's 3 in a row for him) in Years of Refusal at the start of the year - given your sign off I can't believe you didn't enjoy that one at least, "oh, something is squeezing my skull"

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Personally think the new Madness album is fantastic.... but then you can never go wrong with Suggs and co.

El Pres - give a listen to Florence + The Machine's new album "Lungs" - it's BRILLIANT.

I'm with you, Pres. I think it will be well worth buying

I loved Placebos first 2 albums,since then they have steadily got worse,havnt heard the new one ,is it really shite?

 

[Old Greg]

I agree the albums mentioned aren't great and let down the artists but then again other bands like Kasabian, and (although not a band) Jamie T new albums have excelled their previous.

Watched them "before they were famous" supporting Franz Ferdinand, and they completely stole the show. Were absolutely brilliant. Very much looking forward to the new album, as was a little disappointed by An End Has a Start.

I can't understand all the hype about Elbow ?.. one moderately good single a little while back but now we are told they are the dogs sphericals.. I can't even remember the name of any other singles ?

It sounds to me like you're Turning into Spielberg.

Thats not nice, you should apologise for that one.

Asleep At The Back, The Seldom Seen Kid and Cast of Thousands are all TOP albums our kid.

I LOVE Franmusik. I saw him live first time before Keane at the Brighton Centre, and have seen him live again since, and am seeing him again in December. He is simply magnificently brilliant, and I'm glad I knew him before he was famous.

The new Scooter album is pretty damn special, that will be out in this country early next year I imagine. But it's out in Europe in 2 weeks!

 

[disgruntled h blocker]

"Kingdom of Rust" from Doves was excellent, their best album since Lost Souls IMHO

Maxïmo Park's "Quicken the Heart" wasn't that bad either...
