Blur = Great Travis = Great but Unrealised Oasis = Great but Over-realised :shock:

i think the aqualung album is great - 8/10 - i listened to it recently on a train into London and I found the experience AMAZING; not since Radiohead's OK Computer have I found an album so close to the feelings of modern life - communities, constraints but pulsing beauty - its a great album and I recommend it to anyone with an aging soul :shock:

nps hun! :)

and me again! *feels like a muppet* :shock:

argh that was me btw! 8)

ok here goes - please forgive me if they are not that great: 1.36 - very good - i would say its in the same quirky rocky ilk of One I Love - you can hear Tim Wheeler's (Ash lead singer / guitarist) influence spilling onto this track - its very beat led with a very rocky guitar riff and a steady build through the song. I would descibe it as a parallel between Daylight and One I Love - very catchy!! One things though is that it does end very abrubtly - in fact I'd even say that the guitar riff may have something in common with the thrashy sound of the Vines only toned down some! 7/10 I Ran Away - this is the real find, the sticker on the back of the promo describes it as "almost making the album" and i can see why although I would say that while its great its still in line with the weakest two tracks of the album in my opinion - Daylight and A Whisper. Again the track is quite riffy with electric guitars chosen over an acoustic vibe. Chris' singing is maybe not as strong as id like but it does contribute to the melody of the track. Its very Stones Roses actually! 8/10 please note both these scores are on the basis of them being b-sides and not album tracks - deduct a point for each againt album tracks The Scientist 10/10 - but then you lot already new that :lol: Hope this gave you some food for thought and made a few of you even more excited!! :shock:

ok ill be posting my thoughts on the songs within the next 5 mins... head to the Coldplay section :shock:

the only thing i will say about it is both copies had a sticker in the top left with parlaphone promo details and a sticker on back describing tracks "this is the new single following up... blah di blah" which i personally dislike so i have just tried to remove them and now have gunky stuff all over the case Argh! oh well - all in the name of collecting i guess - im hoping the artwork on the front is exclusive to the promo - if not its another for the pile anyway :lol:

he he - ok if i am in town over the weekend ill buy it and we can sort something out :D

there is one more copy down at the store for £5!

i have a promo copy of the scientist single with both b-sides!!! only cost me £5! i am listening to it as we speak - give me 30 mins to listen to it a few times and then i will post what i think... i would offer to encode them and get them uploaded via Ian but i dont think it would be fair on some people who wouldnt be strong enough to wait for the real thing! if there is a massive interest ill look into doing it but id rather not spoil it for those that care with a poor copy when the real thing is not so far away! i feel sooooo lucky :shock: thank god for Guildford's Collectors Record store!!!

to me it means everything (apart from Coldplay & Radiohead) :lol:

its for u honey! :)

*ahem* Thom Yorke from Radiohead! 8)

i have that DVD - its very good! :shock:

i love snow!! because i get to ski on it :D
