Week 32 - Page 3

Well, if you take a look at the reviews, you will understand. I mean, based on their comments, one can tell those people are complete morons.
HTDAAB deserves, at least, four stars. Rolling stone magazine gave the album 4 stars and I remember at the time, they trashed the new REM album. I didn´t hear about the Coldplay though. I guess they gave X&Y 4 stars too?

No, RS gave X&Y 3 stars (same as REM's ATS).

Anyway those Amazon score's are only based on average customer reviews as opposed to the critics.

If you go to Metacritic.com they work out a score based on the actual critic's reviews & Bomb has a very respectable 78 out of 100 from 26 reviews (81 plus = universal critical acclaim) . X&Y has 72 from 28 reviews & REM's ARS got about 55 (appalling!).

Average scores from users at Metacritic currently have Bomb at 6.7 / 10 from 235 reviews whilst X&Y has 7.5 / 10 from 255 reviews. Customers at Amazon UK currently give Bomb 4 stars - same as X&Y.

So, I s'pose it's all about the same at the moment although Bomb is clearly the better album.

fedeu2 · 07-05-2005, 08:13 AM

Yeah, the last REM album had lukewarming reviews and I, for one, agree with them. In fact, the last two albums are mediocre in my eyes, where´s that great band that gave us Out of time, Automatic for the People, New Adventures in Hi-Fi or Up, in the 90´s??. Live 8 performance was non-descript too.
As for Coldplay, the more I listen to the album, the less I like it. At first, I was quite a bit excited but after a while, it is clear most of the songs are not memorable. A lot of them sound disturbingly similar too. I like it better than Parachutes but a lot less than A Rush of Blood ...

When all is said and done, I think the Bomb will be regarded both as a much better album and with slightly more commercial success.

Oh, by the way, HTDAAB was overall the best reviewed album of 2004 in the US, followed, I think, by American Idiot. How strange is that?

On the R.E.M. subject, I liked Around The Sun......it's a nice dark album in the vein of Automatic For The People, and the band doesn't seem as lost as they were on Up and Reveal where they were trying to make albums surrounding a certain theme.....R.E.M. made a hard album to sell really, but it's stronger as a whole than Monster or Out Of Time, although it obviously doesn't reach the height of their first five albums...

Because fat losers in the US sit around and watch TV nonstop, so they get annoyed when they constantly see the "Vertigo" ad.....

Let's wait for the BB results, but this could be a good week in the World Chart: with a solid number of 13.000 copies in UK, with increases in charts of countries like France and Italy and in another nations (Ireland, Switzerland, Netherland, at the moment), maybe we can hope something good.
Any chance to make something bettere in USA? 8.000 copies are a very poor result...

Zoovation · 07-06-2005, 09:08 AM

Thanks for the infos about Italy. I think that a good result in the World Charts is possible. The results in UK, France and UK and some other countries are good, but Germany will also be important. I'm sure that it will be at least as good as last week, maybe better. It depends on the US Charts. The sales were very low there last week and I hope that there will be a little increase this week. We are waiting for you Soldatti.

Actually 2,800,000 people bought the album so far, more than any country around the world.

ybird3k · 07-06-2005, 10:00 AM

i know its 2,800,000, but the size of america is massive, and in terms of chart position its miles behind europe

edge3 · 07-06-2005, 10:03 AM

Oh dear

So Bomb only sold 7,558 in US last week (not 8,017)? Right?

...anyway, I still think Bomb might sell around 38,000 on mediatraffic world chart this week though.

2Hearts · 07-06-2005, 10:06 AM

U2 better go hip hop if they want to compete in the US. Personally, I think they could do it. They are that talented.

The results in UK, France and UK and some other countries are good, but Germany will also be important. I'm sure that it will be at least as good as last week, maybe better. It depends on the US Charts. The sales were very low there last week and I hope that there will be a little increase this week. We are waiting for you Soldatti.
