PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2005 OK, I've heard the whole futureheads album now, and Inc is off his fucking tits if he thinks these are good. So worthless. Maybe they'll be good in a couple of album's time, but who's gonna give a fuck by then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garth 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2005 I don't mind The Hounds Of Love, but everything else I've heard by them is just pretty average, I don't see whats so great about these guys at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mystery Eskimo 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2005 I had the misfortune to catch Kazabian at the V festival last year and they were probably the worst thing I've ever seen. And I've seen a LOT of awful bands. The only band mentioned in this thread I can stand listening to more than one song from is British Sea Power. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2005 I love how Ian Brown's solo stuff ten years ago was met largely with indifference (cos it wasn't particularly good) and Kasabian are doing EXACTLY the same shit and are a 'truly great British act' or whatever.

cameron chaos 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2005 The only reason most of these acts get any attention is down to the NME magazine over here. For example, no one gave a flying fuck about the White Stripes before NME starting having a fit over White Blood Cells. No one gave a fuck about the Hives before Poptones compilation of their old material on Burning Heart records was put out as Your New Favourite Band over here and someone at the NME got a hard on for them. The Strokes got turned down by every single major label before Rough Trade put The Modern Age EP on their shelf and some wannabe underground rock journo signed to the NME started acting like they were the second coming of punk. The Libertines got their push off the back of the NME talking about their "wild live shows" aka a bunch of strung out addicts making tits of themselves onstage while playing noisily. "Darts of Pleasure" by Franz Ferdinand went NOWHERE. "Take Me Out" started getting trumpeted as this awesome anthem for a night out by the NME, next thing they are winning awards and signing multi million dollar contracts. If you want to blame anyone for the stream of mostly talentless overhyped bands, blame the fucking pseudo hipster 30 year old cokeheads running that fucking rag.

DCMaximo 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2005 I gave up on trusting the NME when they told me that Black Rebel Motorcycle Club were the "rockingest band at Reading" in 2003 and that Jet were the band of the festival. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 I've decided that the main problem is that the album is overlong and there's a few worthless tracks, but I will see them live and I like 'Danger of the Water'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
