oasis were an amazing band. until they released their third album. since then they have been utterly boring and crap.

 

Idlewild muchos luvos. :D

:lol: idlewild are back to their best, deffo, can't wait fo warnings/promises

i didn't mind some of the songs on the Oasis Third album, songs like All Around The World though.. :uneasy: ..i don't know why Noel re-recorded that..it's not great at all..you'd think his song writing talents would have got better therefore, not having to bring that back from 12 years previous. I hope this next oasis album is great, i'd really like that...but i can't see it happening

IDLEWILD FANS....

 

Tickets for the hotly anticipated 2005 tour are now on sale....

 

ticket sales

 

there's the link direct from the idlewild official site

Might try and book tickets to see them in Southampton

why?, their last album, heathen chemistry was a classical album, every track was phenominal, OASIS are better than ever!, gem archer is a class guitarist, and 'hung in a bad place' which he wrote was amazing

why?' date=' their last album, heathen chemistry was a classical album[/quote']

 

Im pretty sure it goes down as being a ROCK album Jay.

 

But uh, there is some Tchaikovsky influence in there... :rolleyes:

:lol: you know what i meant

I'm seeing them in April :cool:

The idlewild album is alot less rocky then I thought it would be :stunned: It's still brilliant and there's a really country-type song called "Disconnected" :lol:

I'll upload it if any wants it :)

Sorry if theres already a thread for idlewild but i did a search and couldn't find anything.

 

Just been listening to their album 'the remote part' today, i really like it. the track 'american english' is one of my all time favorite songs

 

i did have their latest album, will have to find it and give it a listen

 

does anyone else like this band?

The only album of theirs i have is The Remote Part, and it's damn good as well :cool:

I saw them live a while back when they were supporting Coldplay at Manchester

they did a session for the US radio station KCRW

I saw them live a while back when they were supporting Coldplay at Manchester

 

oh yeah i forgot i saw them at wembley supporting the coldplay :idea2:

We had a lovely long idlewild thread ages ago...but that's gone all dusty now :(

 

I loveeeee idlewild! I've loved them since I saw them supporting coldplay in 2002 :blush:

I love the new album, but 100 broken windows is my favourite :)

I've seen them at V and supporting U2, there's nothing like the random chant of 'happy birthday' to make me laugh!

Don't ask me how I've heard Idlewild in france, but I really love songs like Love steals us from loneliness, you held the world..., american english. I don't know if they have lots of fans in UK but nobody know who they are in France it's quite sad woz they do great songs

I saw them live a few years ago and they put on a good show.

 

I've only heard their newest album & The Remote Part. both good albums in my opinion. :)

just listening to "live in a hiding place". what a lovely song :)

i love idlewild...especially love steals us from lonelyness and american english :)

They are brilliant...

Idlewild's new CD out of this world

 

 

Idlewild

 

"Make Another World"

 

4 out of 5 stars

 

Scottish rockers Idlewild have accomplished a lot in their 12-year lifespan and have covered a diverse range of sounds.

 

Back when they first put music to tape, you could describe their sound as a mixture of Brit-pop and punk rock, with the emphasis on the second half of that description. As the years passed, the pendulum swung toward the other direction, with the last album "Warnings/Promises" far outperforming Coldplay's "X&Y."

 

This latest offering and fifth overall provides a nice balance between these two sounds, much like the 2002 album "The Remote Part." For Idlewild's last album the guitars would best be described as "shimmering," and they once again simmer with a fuzzed-out crunch.

 

However, where this differs from their earlier works is in that lead singer Roddy Woomble's lyrics still remain as reflective as they were on "Warnings/Promises."

 

The culmination results in a sound that manages to remain both edgy without turning away current fans. If you're looking for a UK alternative to Coldplay, then this is it.
