Herbie Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hoi, Herbie, what’s the new Placebo like? I’ve got all up to Black Market Music and dug out Without You I’m Nothing recently and realised it’s still ace. Dunno any of the recent stuff. It's good but not quite as good as the previous albums. Very samey and angst ridden as you would expect. Infra Red is excellent as is Song to Say Goodbye. 7 out of 10. Glad I've finally found another Placebo fan at last. I'm dying to see them live and I think they're playing Glasgow soon. Fancy it? (the gig that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you aware that Gun's drummer Scott Shields, ended up the guitarist in Joe Strummer's Mescaleros.....................? The 1st Gun album is rather good as is Slide's album 'Down So Long' from the same time, both miles better than their pishy peers, T*x*s.....................

Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 2. The Flaming Lips - At War With The Mystics Any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin M Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Any good? On first listen not as good as The Soft Bulletin or Yoshimi, but still with some fine moments. Will probably improve with repeated listening though, it's very BIG in production terms, so a bit overwhelming first time round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit mental, but that’s The Flaming Lips for you. Yoshimi I’m a bit up and down about. Sometimes I think it’s really good, other times I think it’s a bit bloated. The Soft Bulletin is excellent. The only thing about it is I take a helluva time to get round to listening to albums that I know are good and that’s one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are generally trying to be huge in sound, and deliberately excessive at times. Like most song-based bands though, it works best when the songs are strong enough, and doesn't work when the songs sound like an afterthought to the decorative production.

Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning – Bright Eyes Attack of the Grey Lantern – Mansun The Contino Sessions – Death In Vegas The Singles – Pretenders Hosannas From the Basement of Hell – Killing Joke Also listening to Beat This: The Best of by The Beat and Protection by Massive Attack. Regarding the above comments about Canada's finest, it works constantly with Lee, Lifeson & Peart as they have no songs that "sound like an afterthought to the decorative production."
