Cool, I'll be looking forward to this. I'm surprised so few people thought that their last album was awesome.

What the fuck, Canada. Why get your act together now?

 

[phanan]

I'm gonna blow your mind right now: I thought their last album was awesome.

I think it tails off towards the end, but otherwise it was very good.

Looking forward to the new one.

Um, yes, hello, Stars. There's a city in Illinois, it's not so big, but you may have heard of it. I notice on the above schedule that you don't appear to be aware of the presence of any city in the state of Illinois. Please rectify this matter, because Indianapolis is nearly 3 hours away from here.

 

[LemonMelon]

They're probably doing a festival or something.

 

[bono_212]

In October?

 

[LemonMelon]

They're Canadian, that's still summer to them.

 

[Axver]

Curse you, Canada! Though at least Metric are in Australia in a fortnight. Hope Stars make it down soon too; I presume they've been here before, but if so it was before I'd listened to them.

I'm gonna blow your mind right now: I thought their last album was awesome.

Who knew.

I'll be honest - I prefer The Five Ghosts to In Our Bedroom After the War and Set Yourself on Fire. Haven't heard their earlier stuff.

I think it tails off towards the end, but otherwise it was very good.

Looking forward to the new one.

I sort of agree with this, but then How Much More is second-last and it's one of the album's highlights. The first four songs are definitely the best part of the album for me.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

got my 2 GA tix to their DC show on 9/23 this morning..

 

[BoMac]

[bono_212]

Dammit! My boss walked in and started talking to me while I was writing this post. You win this round, Bomac.

 

[BoMac]

 

[phanan]

Weird, I was just thinking about them the other day, figuring that a new album had to be around the corner.

[LemonMelon]

The cover is an all-time classic.

 

[Axver]

Hell yes, can't wait.
