There's still a new Doves album on the way, right? And British Sea Power? Those sound good.

I don't know specifically what Bono's been saying this time around, but he's a downright terrible authority on these matters. According to him, a new album is always right around the corner. He actually alluded to a possible new album during the Elevation Tour, and while I don't doubt he meant...

A new U2 album just 2 years after the last one? :lmao: It's funny every time I hear it.

I like Up. There, I said it, and I'm not sorry.

They're a band. A pretty good one, too, actually, although it seems like it's impossible to say so without offending half of the U2 universe.

This is kinda like a lot of baseball arguments. Basically, it comes down to what you value more: peak value or career value. The Who, at their best, were better than the Stones. I think most would agree with this. But there's also no doubting that the Stones produced a much larger catalog of...

Coldplay has a new album out? I wonder why no one started a thread about it earlier? :shrug:

I thought the first half or so of HTTT was near flawless, from "2+2=5" to "Where I End and You Begin". "Sit Down. Stand Up" especially is a killer. And those first six, though, it's more hit and miss. "We Suck Young Blood", "The Gloaming," "I Will", and "Scatterbrain" are all a bit dull, I...

That's a good list, Zootlesque. I'd add: Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana Rock the Casbah - The Clash Take Me On - A-Ha My Charona - The Knack Always Something There to Remind Me - ?? Naked Eyes? Really, we could go on like this for days. And really, we probably will.

I always distrust reviews that can be boiled down to, "I liked the way they used to sound better". Very lazy thinking for a critic to engage in. For every genius album ever made, there are 10 reviews like this from people that just got scared off by a band making a change. Remember all the...

The idea that all of Coldplay's songs sound the same is more than a bit naff. I could see that argument - sort of - for Parachutes. But it's just not the case for Rush of Blood. Even if you look at just the singles ... In My Place, God Put a Smile Upon Your Face, The Scientist, Clocks ... you...

***CONTEXT ALERT, CONTEXT ALERT*** Here is the Newsweek article Launch stole this quote from, and you'll see it reads a bit differently: Notice the strategically placed quote marks around "the best band in the world". It's quite possible, even likely, that he was saying something different...

Yeah, I missed that too, although as soon as I saw that it was in fact J. Geils, I gave the old forehead a good slap, 'cause I knew that. I also missed Windmill Lane, forgetting that I was taking an E! quiz, and thinking it was a trick question. Dumbass.

British Sea Power. "Open Season" is a great record.

Agreed. It's the only one I can think of off-hand. And I'm not a big fan of "Pride" in general, but I'll agree with mackemlad that the Syndey version is especially sluggish.

Well, I'd love to see the Netherlands. Ironic, no? :wave:

Wow. Drop on down to Texas, where it's a nice 52 degress right now. Of course ... then you'll be stuck in Texas, so I guess you're screwed either way.

The only thing is, didn't Paul McG specifically say that it was going to begin March 1 in Miami? Or am I wrong about that? UPDATE: To answer my own question, yes, he did. I know it's not an official tour announcement, but it's a hell of a lot more than just "a source close to the band".

I know everyone here is sincerely concerned, but I think it's irresponsible to speculate on this kind of thing until we know for sure what's going on. It just seems a bit crass, given that Edge has seemingly tried hard to shield his kids from the public eye, and the only reason it's even come...

The Dallas date has been confirmed by 102.1 The Edge here in town. As an aside, you'd think that a station named "The Edge" would be a lot better than they actually are.

Well, lyrically it's OK, but I just don't like the tune. Simple as that, really. It doesn't sound so much like a pop song as much as a campfire melody.

In a Little While has grown on me quite a bit. I think it and Walk On are the two highlights on the album. The rest ... mostly I can take it or leave it. I'm surprised to hear myself saying that about Kite, but there you go. Only Stuck is really objectionable to me.

Wow, I''m surprised no one else has brought this up during the last three months. I know it's kind of a tangent, but what does everyone else think of POP? I've been waiting for that topic to come up for a while, also.

I like the acronyms. They're like some kind of weird little puzzles to figure out. But yeah, Hut-Dab is out of line. People at least need to stick with real acronyms. And some restraint is in order - SIAMYCGOO is stupid. Just write "Stuck" people, it's shorter anyway.

Two shows each in Denver, Phoenix, Seattle and Vancouver? That seems odd.
