LPF Reviews 3

[Friðbjörn]

everything by radiohead or just a few songs?

[Stenners]

I still like Pork & Beans. The song, not the dish.

 

>_<

 

(BTW you can all bash me now but I don't really get Radiohead)

 

 

Did you not read it properly? Pork & Beans is one of the songs I like.

 

Also I didn't say everyone SHOULD enjoy radiohead, I said everyone should appriciate that they are easily one of the most important

bands of our generation.

[Kanavazk]

I do agree that they are (or were) the most important band in the new millenium, but the only album I really enjoyed by Radiohead was The Bends (mind you the only other ones I've heard were In Rainbows and OK Computer).

[Friðbjörn]

ahh you definitely need to listen to Kid A and Amnesiac

nevermind their first album though...

[GraDoN]

Such a dissapointment and I get a feeling this was Weezers last chance to redeem themselves.

nae there are plenty more colours to choose from

They still are, ever since their decision to release an album online for free without a label more and more bands have been doing so. Ok Computer is full of some of the most inspiring songs ever, In Rainbows is very pretty, Amnesiac and Kid A are experimental glitchy electonica with devestating effect. They stilll a band of great relevance and still are one of most important bands around right now, I can't think of many more active bands that would be considerd more important.

[Friðbjörn]

they've been so influential to so many

[GraDoN]

[Stenners]

*this is to be taken with a pinch of salt

[Friðbjörn]

I took a listen at the REM "greatest" hits album...well it's bad.

half of the songs sounds exactly the same...they even recycled The end of the world as we know it into Bad Day

Bloc Party

Flux (Japanease Remix Edition)

Remix/Electronica/Indie

 

Anyone remember the pinacle of mainstream british rock with the release of 'Silent Alarm' which

had some of the most intriqute guitar hits of the naughties? Yea? It was pretty good wasn't it? Then

came the neon political 'A Weekend In The City' which was good but was a bit of a let down, then

they released a single by the name of 'Flux' which was quite frankly a very poor example of a dancey

electronic act & at the time I saw it as nothing more than a money grabbing gimmick hoping to jump

onto the success of a Nu-Rave scene and to jump onto the Japanease market... this has been

furtherd by a re-release of 'A Weekend In The City' with Flux thrown in on the end... NME Presents

Flux Remixes and now this... a remix album with 3 Flux remixes and 9 remixes of songs from

'A Weekend In A City'............ hmmm okay.

 

http://www.offtopic.forum/data/MetaMirrorCache/491eedc24a1e838450dd7bcf19c4f5b8.jpg

 

It's no real secret that I disliked the song a lot, and to be put ahead of me 3 versions of this

song it makes me cringe, but maybe they are alright.... well nah they are just passable floor

fillers really & as for the other remixes? None of them improve on the original and all smack of

mediocre cliche remixes... add a beat and digitalise the voice or strip down the song and add

a beat.... HOOOOORAY! Oh ffs. Bloc Party/Record Label, please stop milking them/yourself for

all your worth, it's getting a bit embarrasing now... below mediocre release here that is essential

for fans of 'Flux' people who didnt like the whole BLOC PARTY GO ELECTRO idea... wait for the

next album which is meant to ditch the whole Electro sound.

[GraDoN]

i kinda like flux

[Kanavazk]

The first thing I noticed when I looked at the article was the Coldplay-esque font in the album cover (not really like the Coldplay font, but it looks like it to me).

I don't really like the kind of electronica in 'Flux' but it's sort of OK.

Sigur Ros

Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust

Experimental/Alternative/Progressive/Pop

 

Sigur Ros are one of the most iconic bands of our generation with over 25million plays on last.fm

they are one of the big boys punching around in the music scene whilst not being mainstream. They

are one of the bands that true music fans will adopt, they aren't a product but more or less just

universaly loved. Sigur Ros specialise in the type of slow brooding music with lavish melodic though

different vocal deliverys and a sound which makes you feel as if your on a completely different

world without being too alien. Having said that I thought their last release was pretty average

and whole heartedly dissapointing from a band that made the beautifuly dark and mysterious

Ágætis Byrjun and (). I didn't know what to expect from Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust

and I hadn't heard any previous releases or singles from it before I decided to check it out... I

just thought that it just HAS to be listend to. Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust pretty much

immediatly suprises with 2nd track ' Inn

[Stenners]

Due to a rubbish Bug on the forums this review hasn't been completed, I will do it later without mentioning anything in foreign terms

[woodyloveslinkin]

Also I didn't say everyone SHOULD enjoy radiohead, I said everyone should appriciate that they are easily one of the most important

And its a song you love ranting on about ^^ and didnt you give it film clip of the year as well?

[Stenners]

It has got a very good music video, yes.... your point being?

[woodyloveslinkin]

My point being I didn't know how the guy could miss the fact that you liked the song/video clip.

[Stenners]

I still have no idea why you are talking

 

in other words your talking but saying nothing

[woodyloveslinkin]

Hey Matt, on one of my other forums there was a review of Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes put up (by me because I was shit bored) and two of the replies that I got from it, they said it was their worst album ever while in the review I gave it a nine out of ten stars.

Do you think that it was one of their worse albums (I think you're a white stripes fan??).

 

Am I making any sense this time around?
