Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Sounds like the fucking Darkness and Scissor Sisters love child tbh. Best description I've heard of it is quarter Queen, quarter Scissor Sisters, quarter Sparks and quarter The Darkness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia 0 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 (edited) Mika's album is out today for anyone who wants it and hasn't already thieved it. hmmm let me see now..... ermmm no I'll pass ta, anyways Bloc Partys album is also out today so not comparison tbh. so I'll download Bloc Party today Not a patch on Silent Alarm Not sure about that, I mean it took a bit of getting into but some of it is easily as good as the previous album. Give it a while, it's a grower in my opinion, but then so was Silent Alarm for me. Exactly the same with me. I downloaded it yonks ago and wasn't too impressed but after a few listens it began to sound better and better. I bought it today through sheer guilt and I was fucking astonished that I hadn't liked it first time round. There are one or two tracks that aren't up to much, just like Silent Alarm but songs like Hunting For Witches, The Prayer and Sunday are easily up there with the best of their previous.

luckyluke 2 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Surely the charts are a measure of quantity not quality. Anything truly innovative is unlikely to immediately appeal to the masses and therefore unlikely to trouble the 'hit parade'. As the man said "Popularity is no measure of artistic integrity" or something. Mr Blobby got to number one. Bob Dylan has never had a number one in this country, whereas Bob the Builder has.

And, in his own words, he'll "hit the notes". I can see why some might not find him pleasing to the ear like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the man said "Popularity is no measure of artistic integrity" or something. Mr Blobby got to number one. Bob Dylan has never had a number one in this country, whereas Bob the Builder has. That may be true of the singles chart, but I propose that Dylan just about makes up for it with his six number 1 and 25+ top 10 albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15123 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Public in "buying what's easily available and to which they're frequently exposed rather than obscure stuff they've never heard of" SHOCKAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Patrokles Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 As for Dylan, his best stuff is terrific, up there with most things, but he's done an awful lot of shite. I don't buy into the whole rabid Dylan disciple nonsense. There are ample bands with far more consistently good back cats. In my opinion. He's not bad, he's just hugely over-rated.

Really, I can't think of many. And if you think he's overrated now, just wait till he dies, the fawning will eclipse the growth in Johnny Cash's popularity. There's a film out soon about Dylan and Andy Warhol chasing the same bit of skirt. Looks canny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
