Mo!

 

What's your rule on Franz Ferdinand's Blood album?

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_%28Franz_Ferdinand_album%29

Uh, err.. hmm.......

 

You really like to ask all the hard questions, don't you? :inquisitive::p

 

I'll tell you what. If you can give me a couple of really good reasons why this should be seen as an original (as opposed to derivative) work, I'll let you count it.

 

Otherwise I'd say it counts as a remix compilation.

Damn you wee bull :P

^Thanks and added.

 

Can I take a moment to say you guys are awesome- we now already have 35 lists. :dance:

^thats great.

Yo Mo, can we submit some blurbs to you as well?

The blurbs seem to have fallen flat on their face for the most part, outside of your threads. But if you really want to blurb, blurb away.

 

That sounds odd.... :thinking::laugh3:

haha true, maybe put a link to my thread on the first page? (hope that doesn't sound too conceited)

Explain the blurb.

The blurb is basically a chance for you to write a little blurb about an album you like. Promote it a little.

I'll add atlas sound album, it's great.

Re-Post of my list WITH BLURBS!:

 

Muse- The Resistance

The Space odyssey continues to create a true masterpiece! First time I heard it, I wasn't too fond- but, man, how much it has grown on me is amazing! Resistance, Undisclosed Desires, Unnatural Selection, United States of Eurasia and the Exogennisis symphony rank among the best on the album! My second favourite Muse album after Origin of Symmetry!

Kasabian- The West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum

I wasn't too fond of their first two albums, yeah, I liked a couple of the singles (Club Foot, Processed Beats, Empire, Shoot The Runner..) but I found the albums as a whole pretty dull, and the singles weren't THAT great. I first heard 'Vlad The Impaler' on the album as it was released on their website for free, and I thought 'WOW! This is such a cool song!' and then I heard 'Fire' and I was BLOWN AWAY! I was eagerly awaiting the album and was not dissapointed! 'Underdog, fast fuse, where did all the love go?....awesome!

Ben's Brother- Battling Giants

Not the most known of bands...but they deserve to be! Their first album is one of my favourite albums of ALL TIME, it is near perfection! This album builds upon the first with more amazing songs! If there's any band I'd recommend to ANYONE it would be Ben's Brother! Best songs include 'Apologise, Battling Giants, Stalemate, All Played Out...

The Fray- The Fray

Their first album was FULL of brilliant songs, this second album, although not as good as the first, is full of lots of GOOD songs, not exactly fillers, not exactly amazing songs, but good songs. 'You Found Me, Never Say Never and Absolute are among the best!

Green Day- 21st Century Breakdown

Not the best on this list, no way near, but it's full of alot of good songs! 21 Guns, Viva La Gloria and Last Night on Earth are among the best!

Arctic Monkeys- Humbug

Although being a dissapointment for me at first, Humbug grew on me...but I'm sad to say, not by much. I absolutely loved, and still do love, Crying Lightning it is easily one of the best songs of the year up with Kasabian's 'Fire'! But the rest of the album is a bit too 'dark' for my liking at times! 'Pretty Visitors, Cornerstone and Secret Door are the best!

Manic Street Preachers- Journal For Plague Lovers

Never really been into the Manics but after listening to 'Joan Collins...' I decided to give it a listen and I actually really enjoyed it! 'Me and Stephen Hawking, Marlon J.D and All is Vanity are my faves!

Paolo Nutini- Sunny Side Up

I heard that alot of people were dissapointed with this offering and to be honest...I wasn't! I LOVED the first album and I knew it wasn't as good as the first but I wasn't dissapointed and am still not, there are a load of cool songs on it and I love the jazzy feel of the album! 'Candy', 'Coming Up Easy' '10/10', 'Growing Up Beside You' and 'High Hopes' are my faves!

Franz Ferdinand- Tonight

After waiting what seemed like ages for a new Franz album, I was dissapointed with this album as whole and honestly believe that the three singles, 'Ulysses', 'No You Girls' and 'Can't Stop Feeling' are the best! And I really like those ones! Especially 'Ulysses' and the great sing-along, 'No You Girls'!

Just Jack- All Night Cinema

I never thought that Just Jack would be among my fave albums! NEVER! But this album blew me away. After hearing the first single 'Embers', I fell in love with the song, and although being dissapointed by next single 'Doctor Doctor', Just Jack blew me away with the next single, and the best song on the album, the amazing-The Day I Died! A true masterpiece of a song, I can barely put it into words but it Is great!

White Lies- To Lose My Life

Death-Obsessed! I like! 'To Lose My Life' and 'Farewell to the Fairground' are the best on the album of a very, very, death-obsessed band!

I like what you say about Just Jack! And nice that you gave him a listen!

His first album ´The Outer Marker´ would blow you away as well! :wacko:

In no particular order (will change that later):

 

Muse - The Resistance

Idlewild - Post Electric Blues

Doves - Kingdom Of Rust

Natalie Imbruglia - Come To Life

U2 - No Line On The Horizon

White Lies - To Loose My Life

Kasabian - West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum

I'll add atlas sound album, it's great.

 

Agreed, fantastic album. Everyone should check it out.

All I have heard from him is Writers Block, Starz In My Eyes, Glory Days and the All Night Cinema album, I might just listen to the first two fully on Spotify some time ;) Thanks for the heads up!

anything against "various artists" albums (ie new moon?)

Explain the blurb.

Have an album you think everyone else isn't loving enough?

 

Tell us about it. Write a post about that album. You can write a few facts, your impressions of their music, what got you into them, summarize critical reviews, you get the idea. Whatever you think will make people want to listen to that album. Include links and videos so we can check them out ourselves. (Face it, people are too lazy to look for their myspace page themselves.)

 

If enough people want to write blurbs, I'll link to them on the first page.

Here's my thoughts on soundtracks. It has to be an original studio album. If all the material is brand new and was recorded for that soundtrack then it's fine. If it's a collection of existing recordings, it isn't.

 

New Moon. Tricky. Very tricky. Most of the songs are both new and specially recorded as I understand it. But there are pre-existing tracks. But at least one of those was remixed which makes it not sooo bad. :waffle:

 

I need feedback on this one. If lots of people yelling their vote at me doesn't work, I'll arbitrarily set a percentage for new material.

 

Re-Post of my list WITH BLURBS!

I'll go by your old list if that's ok- I still need to read it as a list when compiling. Give me a heads up if you write a new list so I can change it.

I donno, I'm in favour of having the New Moon Soundtrack and other OST if they have maybe at least 80% brand spankin new tracks.

Seconded.

Seconded.

Great. Do I hear a third?

Any extreme objections?

Third-ed? :lol:
