Will be interesting to hear what they have come up with after their first 2 albums was so influential.

I reckon - Cant wait to check it out. One thing I've always wanted to do is to see them live.......... They have been doing gigs alongide Aphex Twin in the UK. I hope thy can bring down some of that action to our fair city!!!

sick, really like that song

Hardy · Post by **Hardy** » Sat Mar 22, 2008 3:29 am

I've tried, and i really can't get into this album. It's just... not very good.

Lephrenic · Post by **Lephrenic** » Sat Mar 22, 2008 11:24 am

You have it? I've only heard the live clips on youtube. But what I've heard so far I like, particularly The Rip.

The Rip and Machine Gun are pretty cool, but there's not much else on there that does it for me.

Really like 'Machine Gun'....keen to hear other stuff-think the other track I heard was called 'Hunter'??

When I first heard 'Machine Gun' the vocals kinda reminded me of this :

Clannad:Theme from 'Harry's Game'

I'm with you. And even after so much disappointment with artists and bands making crap comebacks i am hoping this lp conitnues the legacy.

They produced some of the best music i have ever heard and i hope they do it again..

yeah i grabbed this...its alright

Blaxter · Post by **Blaxter** » Mon Apr 07, 2008 5:17 pm

Haven't heard all of this album yet. The couple of tracks I've heard were all good.
Will probably purchase if I can get it on vinyl.

I gotta tell you, I just love this album. Oooh it gets dark.

Am I the only one who thinks this album is utter tripe? I keep reading reviews of that say it's the best thing they;ve ever done, but I somehow get the feeling they're afraid to slate it.

Post by **huge** » Thu May 29, 2008 2:19 pm

i listened a bit to it the other day and i didnt find it that good.

I think the live versions are much better, but I still really dig the album.
