Razorlight

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

We were on halls in my first year, Tom's room was opposite mine. "I heard you playing Extirminator earlier. That's such a wicked album"

Pops, friend of the stars ;D

Another band you can't go wrong with IMO. Kaisers meets Killers. Or The Killer Chiefs...
Awesome, awesome stuff. Been on repeat all weekend.

A lot more... well, polished and poppy than I expected... and I mean that in the best possible way.

Fan. Bloody. Tastic.

Just wanted to say.
Grrr. Argh.

With my inheritence money finally coming in I went a bit mad in HMV the other day and picked up a whole bunch of albums and DVD's. I actually genuinly really really like the new Razorlight album, the Raconteurs is also excellent. The Automatic and the Kooks are so so, but listenable(sp?)

Also a quick point in that I tend to never like more than 4-5 songs of any album, indeed I often buy albums based on the strength of 1 or 2 tracks then copy the tracks I like to my computer and not usually listen to the cd again. I take it I'm quite different to you guys in that I'm probably more of a singles person.

Anyway got back from HMV, my mum gives me my birthday present (a month and a day late and I live in the same house as her). The present is HMV vouchers.

Karma. Even the circle of life does not want people to like Razorlight.
Glad you liked your buys tho. :)

I thought the most recent Primals was a bit bland. Felt like a return to their very first stuff but shackled by an insistence on keeping the sound and production that helped make them big. Nice enough, but I think I like them best either when they are being trad indie or electronic samply...not too keen on the stuff inbetween.

Nothing new has beat the Sugar Hill Gang + Grandmaster Flash double CD I picked up for a fiver the other day tho.
