Raaj Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 ehhhhh WTF? so you pick your favourite 10 songs from a selection of 20 and thats your album? based on 1min previews? what a load of crap. what if the 10 i pick don't ever get played live or become singles. what a waste of money that would be. but the whole earning money thing seems pretty cool. simply cos there's the potential to earn a lot of money. i hope they checked this with their accountant lol. this rush release thing is great. the rest seems like an annoying gimmick. *downloads the torrent of all 20* i'm "sorry" but this is actually a nice idea, the new coldplay song is CRAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deaths_friend Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 i'm "sorry" but this is actually a nice idea, the new coldplay song is CRAP omg could you shut up about coldplay!! like seriously. why do people join a coldplay forum if they don't like coldplay. why don't you just go listen to some radiohead!!

deaths_friend Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 on a more serious note. this gimmick shows the bands complete lack of confidence in their own music. it's almost like submitting an essay to your teacher but saying "umm ok i wrote 4 different ones. could you maybe pick the best one and keep that" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grace. Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Or they could just be experimenting. What if they actually do have their own tracklisting set up, but first they want to see if what they pick coincide with what the fans would pick. They could just be trying to be cool and coming up with something new. In a way, I think it's great that we'll end up with 20 songs rather than somewhere between 10 and 15 we would normally be expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grace. Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 OK now guys just cool it. There's no need for fighting on here and it's not going to achieve anything. Chances are you're never even going to have a single clue who the other one is so don't even bother getting upset. If you have to, go somewhere else and argue. It doesn't exactly make it nice for the rest of us here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a way, I think it's great that we'll end up with 20 songs rather than somewhere between 10 and 15 we would normally be expecting. but that's their job!! a good band should be able to tell which songs should make the album and which shouldn't. thats really what separates the best from the rest. but at the end of the day. the kaiser chiefs aren't exactly an album album band. so i won't be judging them on this. but with 20 songs floating around i'm not sure which ones i should listen to so i have some familiarity with them when i see them live in 2 months.

Grace. Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 ^maybe I will then! It is a Friday night after all :p True, but hey. I still think it's kinda cool even though I'm not going to bother coming up with my own album. At least they're trying something new, even though it may or may not work out well for them in the long run. And I'm pretty sure 'Little Shocks' will be played so you can pencil that one in :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w1ll1am7 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I JUST found this out. I am excited. I enjoy 'Little Shocks' amidst all this Coldplay single release. I expect a full 20 track album released by the Kaiser Chiefs, with a proper tracklisting, just a massive album. Going to go through all these songs!

deaths_friend Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 yeah totally agreed on that. good on them for being a little different. just reading an article on The Guardian about it and even the band isn't sure how this will work and if they'll be able to manage it properly. as much as it shows a lack of self confidence it does seem like a lot of fun for their more passionate fans. and thats really what this band has always been about. i'm up to about track 10 now and i'm enjoying the general vibe of it. it's not so in your face as their previous work. you can tell they have mellowed out a bit since we last heard from them but that has kinda resulted in some fairly middle of the road tracks. nevertheless i'm stuck here for the next 5 days with no where to go. so i will have plenty of time give these 20 songs a few spins each.
