True from that aspect but as you said, if I had been there and he made that request then I'd do what they asked

I read that a few pages back, it's a shame people don't have the self-control to keep it off the internet, fair enough to record it and keep it to yourself but putting it online is another thing, wouldn't kill them like to not put it online…

That's reassuring, thanks :) Plus from all the other songs we've heard, I'm getting really good vibes from this album, especially after hearing Oceans and Always In My Head, they'd be my top two so far anyway :D

I just found it myself and turned it off almost straight away, whether it's a good song or not, I don't want the first time I hear it to be a distorted and poor quality version, especially when I only have a few weeks to wait now to hear the studio version. Good things come to those who wait! :)

Well I'd like another acoustic, "old-skool" styled album from them but I see nothing wrong with them getting lively and trying different styles, I wasn't a big fan of the MX album but some songs on it were brilliant like DLIBYH, all the albums seem to have a "big" made for radio track on it, so it's good to see the tradition is carrying on

That's a relief :D Also I was surprised to hear that in the first place, based on how the other songs we have heard so far couldn't be any more different to We Found Love

I'm going through the last few pages and think fair enough for the annoyed attitude towards whoever's recorded the track and put it online, but what do they expect? We're living in an age where albums leak before they're released, where news is broken through Twitter before the newspaper, radio or TV and where people expect things here and now. It's sad in a way but we live in an impatient world where songs are going to be heard before bands want us to. Also getting worried about hearing it being referred to We Found Love :(

I'm not too pushed on Another's Arms, can't put my finger on it but it's the only track of what we've heard so far I'm not fond of

Paradise sounds so much better live, Jonny on the guitar gives me chills, utter class from them

Always In My Head is so chilled and laid back, I love it :D

Thanks :)

What time are they starting the live performances? Just some rapper on at the moment for me

The Telegraph are streaming the album in full from today until it's release on Monday! :D http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/rockandpopfeatures/10783315/Embrace-Embrace-album-stream.html

This is much better, I think that MX was over-hyped, which led to disappointment for a lot of people in the end. I think the band are promoting GS really well, it seems so vague, even though there doing so much, I like the mystique it's creating around the album

The band put this on their FB page about an hour ago, saying It also had the video too

Also for them to more or less burn money, he had a six year contract that was barely a season old. Another thing too, can't remember where I saw it but Ferguson's first season was worse than Moyes' when they were compared. That's the thing with football nowadays, if you don't bring instant success, you're out. Go back 20 years, Moyes would still have the job and probably get sacked about 3 years into his contract if nothing had changed. Money is ruining this game and I fucking hate that fact. :( Sorry for the language

This has been my favourite track so far that I've heard from GS. Thought it was stunning and so laid back, I agree with what a lot of people are saying, that this is the closest to the Parachutes album we've heard. Hearing this today just got me even more excited for the new album I agree, either that or there's a longer intro and outro to the song

I'm a Liverpool fan but I think United are well out of order to sack him. He deserved more time, at least until January next season anyway

Mine too! I was gutted I missed the last one

List updated :) Can one of the mods make this thread sticky please :)

It can have whoever you want on it :)

Couldn't agree more.

It's been a while since the last exchange so it's time for a new one! :D Same rules as usual: Deadline for signing up is Sunday the 4th of May and you've got two weeks then to get your tapes in for the 18th of May. There's no set theme so go crazy! I also think what the last host, Cyan Kat did was a good idea, where there was a reserve list for those who missed the sign-up deadline. Basically if you miss the sign-up deadline and want to take part, make your tape and if someone doesn't get a tape then that's when someone in on the reserve list gets there tape sent and reviewed. They'll also get a tape from someone whose looking like they're not getting a review from their original reviewer. Also people, if you're gonna sign-up then please take part. It was really unfair on some people in the last exchange when they didn't get a tape or reviewed.

I'll host it if no one else minds? I'll start the thread now too :)

Hope so, doesn't seem to be enough interest at the moment though… Any suggestions to get it kickstarted?
