Dare I ask the logic behind this?

It's to make the album sound good.

tbh i don't see it either. i was perfectly happy with my first listen to climb onto your boots, and i intend to do the same thing with the album.

VdGG are a band with two keyboardists, a saxophonist and a drummer.

The answer is obviously very.

Great music, though.

I think the first 2 sentences render the third null and void......

 

[Axver]

...is it even possible to get a VdGG shirt?

And they're playing NEARfest this year, too. Their second gig in America, ever.

I'd presume that if one exists, you own it.

Pure Reason Revolution's live release from Nearfest is fucking awesomeness. Highly recommended.

Jaysus, how prog are you people????!!!

I hate prog.

 

[blueeyedgirl]

I don't want Bono to be anywhere near me when I'm naked.

I wouldn't necessarily say this.....

I'm actually not dreading the album any more. Here's hoping it leaks sooner rather than later.

 

[The Sad Punk]

moi?

I meant Liam.

Jesus, stop having two kinda similar names!

It's not wankery keyboard solos. It's just intense songs (unlike most bands, they got better as they went on) in a longer format (their longest song is only 23 minutes XD)

A little spliff goes a long way. I didn't like COBL until I listened to it on some ace stuff.

I'll listen to it sober too, though.

Herawin? No.

I wouldn't go driving, though. Those roads can get bumpy.

i've gone this far without beach clips, 30 second clips.

i can wait until the real thing comes out and i can listen to it the way i heard the single

fucking hell bono.

 

[The Sad Punk]

fucking hell bono.

Good call.

Re-read what you typed there......

I see no difference between downloading the album on, say, 17/02 or 02/03. Hence, bring on the leak.

(Though it looks like I've been talked into buying the mega-ultra-super-fantastico-deluxe edition of NLOTH with chocolate sprinkles and candles anyway.)

Nah. I don't have many band shirts. Just a few Floyd ones, a couple of Waters ones, some DT ones, a Cure one...

I may check that out when my net isn't capped.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I just assume that if Liam and Ax both like something, it's wankery.

 

[coolian2]

eh, it's just the way i'm rolling on this.

 

[Axver]

Herawin? No.

What a waste of your 8,000th post. At least it mentioned herawin.

truer than you think?

Actually, I've only heard one VDGG album and didn't think that highly of it.

Compared to Tales From Topographic Oceans or Thick As A Brick or Light of Day, Day Of Darkness, 23 minutes is short.

Nah. It's just really aggressive and emotive music. Hammill's vocals have been compared to Hendrix's guitar.

I'm with you on this, it's how I've always got my U2 music, waiting till it appeared in the shops. Or till you hear the first single on the radio.

Godbluff?

Yeah, but what about everything else?!

 

[liamcool]

Yeah, but what about everything else?!

Like what? Me and Ax actually have kinda divergent tastes.

Speaking of which, I still haven't heard GOYB on the radio here... I guess Adelaide doesn't care about U2 anymore. Oh well, they had a pretty good run.
