Yeah the store I went to only had two different versions of the cover. I just went for the standard one. Been listening to the record a couple of times now. Too early to make my mind up. But the one song that really impressed me out of nowhere was "modern man".... that stop-start beat, it's INCREDIBLE. And bloody hard to play with that timing! Such a great inclusion.

Yeah I love the new song I agree its more pop than the last album but this single is soooo good! Very excited about the upcoming album.

Oh true, its hard for artists, I wish it had that feature.

You have the option to add events, which I like.

Uh, doesnt itunes do that?

Haha thanks. I wish I could but waaaaay too busy! Wow. What a weekend. Firstly, Saturday night. Temper Trap! Was super excited for this gig because of the fact that it had been a long and sad two months since my last gig (or possibly even longer...) and I was hanging out for it!! Oh Mercy and UK band The Joy Formidable supported making it a very impressive bill on the night, and both support bands really made an impact with some brilliant tunes. Our seats in Festival Hall were in the seated balcony which overlooks the crowd... pretty much the best seats in the house. Pretty sure their label VIP managers were there too and a few AFL players we spotted too! It was different sitting down but it was a nice change because you can rock up whenever plus its a lot more comfortable and peering down over a roaring crowd was just amazing. They played all their album, plus two new songs. The first of which was quite impressive and had Dougy on acoustic guitar (unusal!)... entitled "Rabbit Hole". The other track was a bit slower but it was just a bit like another Soldier-On type song. Overall an amazing night. Happy to see these guys for the fifth time now! Tonight my bandmate and I went to see The Joy Formidable in their headline gig. They haven't released any material over here, and a small crowd of about 100 gathered at a nice intimate venue. Nice and close is always the best but as I write this my ears are still ringing hard! The support was by new band Strange Talk who REALLY impressed. My mate knew one of the guys in the band, and it was their first ever gig. They play very well live, it was very well rehearsed and polished. They sounded like Phoenix and Friendly Fires mixed together, and I was just listening stunned. These guys better go big in Australia or it will be an outrage. The free song on their website is nowhere near their best either. They're recording an EP at the moment and will be fully launching it soon. The Joy Formidable, amazed by the support considering nobody has heard of them here and also since nothing is released here, played a blistering set. EP tracks were played, plus previews of their debut album which is due for release at the end of the year. The band also hinted at a possible return early next year... so they could be added onto V Festival perhaps if that is re-run. After the gig, Temper Trap DJs played so I got the chance to chat to the drummer and lead guitarist in the band about last night, sitting with their managers, Britain, plus they were impressed that I had seen them before they left overseas two years ago. Really nice guys. Helped me steal a poster too :)

last.fm is too huge for me plus I dont care at all for streaming!

SO waiting for the CD. Only 5 days!!

Awesome! You saw some amazing gigs last year!

I just can't get "America" out of my head. It's an epic tune!!

It's done by this user. http://www.songkick.com/users/michelle She's the nifty one! I just think it's a brilliant and handy site!

Ok, fair enough. Say that the first time then. And you're only inciting things by starting a new thread for one album instead of having a normal debate in the artist's thread. Same. Clearly. But starting a whole new thread....? You sir, are a Keyboard Warrior. You're never rude to me, I just see what you say to others. But starting a thread entitled "This is the biggest flop in Richard Ashcroft's Career" isn't the best way to discuss, from (as you are) a fan's point of view, your opinion of his album. You're only inciting criticism upon yourself on which you take to be people being rude and "insulting and attacking you". Hey- maybe if you didnt give them reasons, they wouldn't. You hate being insulted and attacked? Well wow, what are you doing in this forum to Richard Ashcroft? Hmmm...... Whist I understand you disliked the album that's fair enough. But maybe next time keep the opinion in the designated band thread and then we can have valid discussions and others won't "insult" and "attack" you. I certainly won't. (Goes to listen to "flop" of an album......)

that sounds like double awesome eddie

Uninspired? The man has dealt with depression amongst many other worldly occurrences throughout his life. The album's has mixed reviews, good and bad, because people will be delighted with the new direction, and also those dealing with inertia or loved his past albums a lot. As a Verve fan of many years I appreciate his efforts to expand my (and his) musical horizons with an extended entourage of american-inspired musical guests on his new album. Whist I respect your opinion, the only uninspired work is your feeble attempts to undermine artists who are more creative than you and also personally attacking other forum members with rudeness.

Frickin Lot Of Pandemonium GET OVER IT ITS A NEW DIRECTION stop winging
