interpol

not in my view, but that of everyone else i have ever spoken to :( evrery tells me that the 3rd album is shit but i love it, it took ages to get into but i think they earned it with the first 2 albums

any sympathizers?

BLASPHEMY!

i demand under word of god that you burn there houses down and dance around there charred remains whilst listening to our love to admire!

now i must pretend i didn't read that, but i will admit the album is difficult to get into but if you actually are a fan of interpol you realize it is just the definition of perfect for now, there recording a fourth album!

[PaoloTramezzani]

continuing the trend, infadels

the first album was pretty good and it seemed they had lots of potential, girl that speaks no words was a brilliant song but the second album 'universe in reverse' was terrible, like they picked an awful name and tried to make the album fit it

[maffayoo]

THE KAISER CHIEFS WERE NEVER, EVER, ANY GOOD.

[PaoloTramezzani]

i thought kaiser chiefs' 'everything is average nowadays' was a stirring critique of modern music and most notably, themselves

[grover]

The Cure,anything after Wish is just meh.And i was/am a huge fan,but why does the Uk leg of any recent tour they've done consist of London and.......well London.

[spacemark]

The Manics, Foo Fighters were good on Album 1/2 then went shite and Basement Jaxx.. awesome debut and then a load of wank for nearly 10 years.

[lovefrombelow]

blink 182 before their untitled album.

Good Charlotte before The Young and the Hopeless.

[lovefrombelow]

The Anthem appeared before that album? if so, you're right.

Your mention of that song reminded of this. Absolutely brilliant.

I think the Manics managed more than two, probably 5 at a stretch.

Missed that one,not that id have been able to go or owt.

from wiki:

Curiosa is the name of a 2004 concert tour in the United States and Toronto (Canada), organized by Robert Smith of The Cure. It began with a concert in West Palm Beach, Florida on July 24 and ended in Sacramento, California on August 29.

The headlining bands were The Cure, Interpol, The Rapture, and Mogwai. The concert had two stages, with the same main-stage line-up for the entire tour, and a rotating set of bands on the second stage (four per show).

The second stage bands included Muse, Cursive, Thursday, The Cooper Temple Clause, Scarling., Melissa Auf der Maur, and Head Automatica.

Actually seeing Auf der Maur there reminds me,i did read about it.Bloody Jammy Americans!

[Fisticuffs]

I'm going to go ahead and say Incubus, as well. S.C.I.E.N.C.E was one of the most creative and funky rock albums I'd heard in years and now they are almost strictly radio/dad-rock.

Orbital

Nah, but the Anthem was already a decline from Motivation Proclamation, Festival Song, I Heard You, etc.

And I just saw someone mentioned AFI earlier in the thread, they were at the top of their game with All Hallows for sure, it's just gone downhill from there into a weird abyss of crap trance synths and sexually ambiguous lyrics.

Speaking of sexually ambiguous lyrics, Placebo's demos were better than almost anything else they'd ever do imo.

don't cry. I can't stand it when a boy cries. ;)

BWTAS has some amazing songs on it but some duff ones too.

[Mat Payne]

Masonic Boom Wrote:Yeah, but there's some real crap on BWTAS! That's really where I got off the boat. I mean, I bought them all up until Fold Your Hands, but I never get anything except the first one out any more.

Some absolute cringeworthy tracks on it!

I was the same, I bought them all up until Fold your Hands, but that was a bit rubbish! (I actually organised and played the launch party for FYHCYWLAP)

The Storytelling soundtrack was where it all went super wrong!

Have you heard of the band The Royal Wee?
