Alien Radio Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 In one month time I should be seeing The xx live. But I don't have anyone to go with. :uhoh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abracadabra Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I hope you get to go, it would be shame to miss them (especially when there's a good chance that they'll play new stuff). *puts on 'Devotion'* :escaping3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobodyseditwaseasy08 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 like them alot, but they need to get an actual drummer. Then theyd be much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian Plastic Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 like them alot, but they need to get an actual drummer. Then theyd be much better noooo noooooo Jamie XX is one of the few things that keeps them different from other indie bands... If they lose the drums they lose a whole lot of their originality, imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abracadabra Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 like them alot, but they need to get an actual drummer. Then theyd be much better :angry: You must go to confession for this. Anyway, I noticed there is a song that I'm not really into, Fantasy. All other songs have more than 40 listens on my iTunes and this one like less than 10. I think it stands out too much, in a not very positve way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I couldn't get into Fantasy at first as it was such an out of place song. Quite jarring on the first listen. Everything flows nicely and than you have this! Lol. But! After a few listens, it's actually growing on me. It's like the album is taking a break before getting into it again. :D noooo noooooo Jamie XX is one of the few things that keeps them different from other indie bands... If they lose the drums they lose a whole lot of their originality, imo Agreed! Foals? Hmm. I'm a big fan of both bands and I never thought about that. Maybe in some songs they really do. It reminds me a lot of TLF - not so much Antidote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Radio Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I don't see a big deal with Fantasy. :p I think that that riff in the end is quite catchy. And it's a perfect "intro" for Shelter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobodyseditwaseasy08 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 i just think a real drummer, especially live, i mean actually playing drums would make them a bit better, minor complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my concerts I've been to, I went alone. Can't be fussed if no one is going with me. I'm not going to miss out! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm I get your complaint about the lack of proper drums during live shows. I was watching their Glastonbury gig and the syth drums felt weak compared to the guitar and the bass. Not sure how it is for other shows but it wasn't as effective as it was in the album. Other than that, loved the gig though. Want to watch them live now. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian Plastic Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I'm sure the drums sound huge live. The mixing on the glastonbury footage is terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been listening to XX non stop lately and I need more!! :D They're totally different for me. Shelter comes at a time on xx when you might be sick of the pretty pop production, and you need a ballad with a bit of substance. It's the antithesis to the haunting Fantasy. It's like coming up for air after a deep-sea dive. Angels sounds cut from the same cloth, but for me, it's more lulling you into what's to come. It's happier in its skin than Shelter, it sounds like more of a mood than a statement. That's just me though. I love both equally I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abracadabra Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Okay, so obviously it was stupid of me to expect to be able to resist listening to it until I have more time. Listening to "Angels" was like drowning in emotions, especially since I'm going through some difficult moments privately. Yes it is the xx,the band, definitely, but not the xx album. Perhaps my judgment is of less value as I'm not really an expert when it comes to music but I feel like the song belongs to another chapter. ^^ And no, it's nowhere near as obnoxiously insupportable as Paradise, please. I live for 10 September 2012 :heart: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djibou Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I got my ticket to see them in Quebec city :dance: is it me or they're expensive? I feel like 50 bucks is a lot, especially since the venue they're playing at here isn't that big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
