Hot Fuss is inconsistent but is a strong candidate for guilty pleasure of 2004.

Sam's Town has about 3 palatable songs on it. Maybe. But it's still better than pretty much anything Linkin Park has ever done. EVER.

well if you say so...

Which three, out of curiousity?

Told you--Howl isn't a good representation of their sound. That one (American X) is closer.

This is without doubt the best song here so far. Just noticed it's been going for 7:45 and it hasn't felt that long.

That's the ticket! A song you may even like? On my list? One that's neither Porcupine Tree or U2?

Unheard of!

Title track
When You Were Young
Bling or Bones (depending on my mood)

That's about it.

See, I get the point that since the songs were remixed, they decided to remix the titles too... but it was awful. Do we really need "P5hng Mi Aw*y"?

That was my first encounter with that sort of abbreviation/text speak/what-have-you. I didn't have the Internet at that point, you see. I was appalled when I came online and noticed some people typing like that.

now HERE'S a confession: when i first heard their album was called sam's town, i immediately thought of the casino (there's one here as well, same company obvs). it wasn't until a while later that i found out/realised that, hello, they named the album after the casino in vegas

Anyhow, I figure I shouldn't be too brutal after what happened with LMP.

Oh, it's after a casino? I just thought "shit title" when I heard it.

You don't like Uncle Jonny? That's actually my favourite track on the album.

I actually BOUGHT the record. That is, I spent actual money on it.

Did he take it hard? I don't remember.

lol sorry, this isn't very funny but your post reminded me of this:

Let this be a lesson to you: thou shalt download.

yeah, sam's town is the name of two casinos; one in las vegas, nevada and one in tunica, mississippi.

don't ever visit the one in tunica and i've heard the one in vegas is crappy too!

Ha, I got somebody else to buy it for me. Learn to use your breas.. oh, never mind

gg, phail collins.

i downloaded them before my isp blocked all torrent shit

Speaking of which, Porcupine Tree albums, please. ray:

 

[the tourist]

I've never in my life been inside a casino.

Me too!

Yeah. Now, see, I thought my slagging off was just bringing the lulz. The guys here egged me on so I provided the disdain. But LMP felt I crossed a line and was overly pretentious and offensive and stuff. That's why he went back through mine and slagged it off in return!

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

I've never in my life been inside a casino.

given that i work for a casino, i definitely can't say the same. but even before that, i'd been in one. hell, i'd been in one before i turned 21! (but i didn't gamble, i'm a good girl)

[DreamOutLoud13]

I'm sick of casinos because I can't turn on the TV without hearing the worst country casino jingle in the world:

Take me away to Tunica! Tunica take me away! Take me away to Tunica! Tunica take me away! *repeat repeat*

I don't even know where the fuck Tunica is but I'm sick of hearing about it. All we have up here is a Harrah's, and they don't have annoying ads.

 

[Axver]

I've never in my life been inside a casino.

I've been inside Jupiter's Casino on the Gold Coast, and I've been inside the Crown Casino area in Melbourne but not the casino proper.

Jupiter's sucks. But it has a monorail to a nearby shopping centre so that's kind of cool.

I see. I didn't realize he'd taken it so hard. I thought he was just having fun and "getting even".

 

[Axver]

Oh, and more of my running diary.

The Factory was pretty mediocre. I felt it never really hit any kind of peak or do much at all really.

Camera's OK.

I guess the closest I've been to is a fancy night-club.

I thought everyone was having a good time. I wouldn't have gone as far as I did otherwise. Well, except for that hideous Prince song. That can't be slagged off enough.

The transition to Maybe Someday is really sudden, by the way, and I don't think it really works. The songs had worked together fairly well up to this point.

All of this has me floored. You have to understand--I thought you'd hate my list as much as you hated Lumpy's.
