I haven't listened to the new Snow Patrol yet, but you guys are making me want to real bad. "Final Straw" was great. Sure, they wrote more mainstream accessible songs, but it was a really strong album. If the dissing is because they're continuing in this direction, shame on you, hipster. If the dissing is because it's truly bad, then cheers.

I liked Final Straw a lot more than I thought I would. This is just horribly bad. Lyrically, especially. I can't remember for sure, but one of the lyrics is something like "Sometimes I want to be the traffic accident/but I'm just the traffic jam" or something totally idiotic like that. My wife and I both burst out laughing and I forwarded to the next song. No more listening required. Hate to be a "hipster" about it, but they used to be better. Even his voice sounds different to me, he doesn't have that lazy-like affect when he sings, it's more like singing and much less distinguishable in comparison to other singers. It must be his radio voice.

Their last album was way overproduced. The song would have sounded better on their own instead of tying to reincarnate the Folk Implosion.

I think the overproduction was the guiding factor of the reach to the mainstream. The songs were good, though. I hate to hear that the laziness is gone from the vocals. It's what made them unique and distinguishable. Think I'll throw the new one on. I've heard two sides, must see for myself.

That will be rubbish. Why get a second class Coldplay to write a football song? I'd have preferred Kaiser Chiefs.

I'm really digging the new Snow Patrol, but then again, I like Del Amitri...

You guys were right, this Stills album is horrible. Simply horrible, I think it hit rock bottom with "Oh Shoplifter". Its like they decided to strip away everything that made the first album good.

which wasn't even that much to begin with imo

but this one, christ... i don't even know what sort of crowd they're aiming for with it. it doesn't even sound that radio friendly, just bland.

Like I said before, I actually liked the first half of the last one. But you are really OTM with that, this just doesn't feel like it will appeal to anyone.

Oh shit, I just hit the part on "It Takes Time" where he rhymes "delicatessan" with "piano lesson". This is so bad.

yeah, i went back and listened to Logic and there was def 4-5 really great tunes on it, and especially compared to this it sounded pretty decent.

She's / Walking / Out / On MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Maroon 5 better watch their back, here come The Stills

WTF! There is a new Aphex Twin record coming out in a few weeks. Where the hell have i been? All i know is that today is a happy day for me!

Edit: ok, so its just a compilation of some Analord recordings, but still...

Just finished the Stills record, man that is complete crap. Chris Martin's daughter shits better songs than that.

Too bad, I liked the first one.

even though he put out 11 analord minis he needs to get off his fat ass and do some proper work!
ok he's not fat but damn dude your the shit, make music. shi

amen to that brother! ive been listening to the RDJA like crazy lately. we need a proper followup to Drukqs, and soon.

Here's the tribute to Radiohead with the Mark Ronson version of "Just". Although it's the highlight, there are other tracks worth listening to.

that avatar just gave me a semi.

Seriously. I caught myself zoning out watching that thing.

threatened my flacidity


come on with the Black Angels, dammit.

OK - I made an attempt to contribute to this thread with a leak, but it appears that I only need post once per page and all is well.

BTW - Alba's not getting enough play on the ETC. threads, so I'm making up for it.

As long as you realize your purpose here, then there will be no complaints...now go and post on every thread ASAP

Just thought I would let everyone know about a new upload site I have found:

http://www.gunboundhosting.com/

There's no file limit, no queue, no slow speeds.
After you upload it gives you a link to share. That's it.

Enjoy

I posted this in the Metal Thread, but it's here too for non-Metal Thread frequenting types...

here's the new Om album, Conference of the Birds:
h33p://s56.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3SQJUJMPS4D2J3VO6S51ZRQ371

On first listen, it's not as startlingly great as the first one, which had the advantage of non-precedence, I guess. The first track is pretty subdued, while the second sounds like it could have been the 4th track on Variations on a Theme.
Om is a duo made up of the two guys from the trio lineup of Sleep who are not Matt Pike of High on Fire, btw.

The new Streets album is excellent. Much better beats than the previous two. That and I don't think I've heard the word "DVD" on this album.

wolfgang is legit.

hello. add me one more post.

Sounds great. When is this one due?

Hello, I'm atrius450.
Thanks for the warm welcome (which is two months late)

This new Snow Patrol album is so fucking lame, maybe worse than the Stills' album. Chasing Cars sounds like a fucking Bryan Adams song.

'atrius' is good people, 'wolfgang,' mat, 'twilight' are totally legit, and 'jesus, etc.' used to be 'hang the dj' on previous boards. don't know who 'disappearer' is but hey, it's my fave sonic youth song.

but who the hell is bertbere53%$^&tbertrte%&%&rtertwert?

lol johnny largesax we hardly knew ye

"mat" dude. you serious? who are you?

OMG neWbiez posted in a thread in our free, public forum!!! IM OUTRAGED!

no way it's worse than the new Stills, come on now...
i at least enjoyed 3 or 4 songs on the new SP some, can't say that about the Stills record.

not saying it's that great or anything, but not new Stills bad

Didn't we already do this whole argument like 5 pages back or something? shut up.

Snow Patrol's new one>>>First Impressions of Earth.

If everyone is saying the new SP is worse than their last, there is no way the above is possible.

considering that FIOE still has the years best song, "You Only Live Once," i highly doubt an album that no one has found one good to say about it, is in any form better than the Strokes.

Laughable. Sadly, I can't rebut further because I already deleted that piece of shit Snow Patrol album from my computer.

I've never seen a bigger misuse of the >>>.

I gotta agree about the quality of "You Only Live Once"--it really kicked juicebox in the face. An' really, I think the strokes have a good showing on all their opening songs. As for "FIOE" as a whole, it has really grown on me--the fact that my favorite song on it keeps changing is a good sign. I agree it doesn't exactly push the envelope, but I think it's more solid than it appears at first. I just wonder why they didn't put "Moderns Girls and Old Fashion Men" on there since it would be one of the best songs.

A'course, I haven't bothered to listen to the new Snow Patrol . . . maybe no one is saying good things about it because the good things are so obvious when you listen to it. Right.

In light of the recent disappointments... thanks SP... hopefully Zero 7's "The Garden" will leak soon. I listened to the 30 second sample of their single on their website and this one looks to not disappoint. In the meantime I'll revisit 13 & God.

I guess all of you are just tuned in the "genius" that is Destroyer.

The Snow Patrol album has more memorable melodies than FIoE.

Has anyone got the Gnarls Barkley 7-track promo leak?

power people...can someone pleze up
art brut+ or artic monkeys??
/pretty pleaze?

uhm, what does destroyer have to do with anything?

i still stand by my take on the new Strokes... take 2 songs off of it and i'd like every song on it. is it amazing? far from it, but i still dig it a decent amount (would give it a 6.5-7). then again i didn't think their first 2 were as amazing as everyone seemed to either, so whatever. (ROF is still def their best tho)

Destroyer's sense of "pop" isn't as good as Snow Patrol's, at least on the new one.

I don't even like Snow Patrol that much, but the new one is a damn good effort.

True, as a pure pop artist, Dan Bejar falls short. But as a fucking wrecking ball of lyrics and emotion, and creative construction he pretty much destroys other artists.
