Guest stuartmaxwell Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 warnigs/promisesi have an advance copy and it is fucking rubbish, its mainly all acoustic guitar and lacks any kind of energy, perhaps they wrote it when they were sleepingurghmaybe its a grower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stuartmaxwell Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 i am fully aware of this dave,honestly though, the quality of the songwriting has dwindled somewhat and roddys faux american monotone voice is very irratatingi reckoned in remote part/scottish fiction is their best song, but this album sounds like live in a hiding place and i never wanted from the last album. it is very poor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 CoolI`ll like it then. Roddy was saying that he`s listening to shot loads of folk music to Murry from the X-Certs. can only be a good thing in my eyes. Looking forward to hearing the album.Anyone else notice that Kerrang called them "Emo Tinged Scots Rockers"......No.... didn`t think so...

He's only just started sounding Scottish.nope, it is faux american whiney nonsense. have a listen to the album. you will agreehonestly, the acoustic guitar playing is TERRIBLE. it is soooo middle of the road, it is honestly like travis, busted and snow patrol all in one. i was expecting much betteri had my chandelier and satan polaroid vnyil on at the weekend, nobody believed it was idlewild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntedbyafreak Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 i had my chandelier and satan polaroid vnyil on at the weekend' date=' nobody believed it was idlewild[/quote']man, that was fucking amazing. what wonderful vinyl! in honour of that night, i am investing in a record player. as regards idlewild, i have no intentions of buying the new album. i adore what they used to be too much to spoil it. they were my favourite band in the world. Were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have lack of talent if all they can do is produce the same sound over and over. Saying that just got the new mars volta jap retail and its nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historicrocker Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I like the new album, it's not a patch on 100 Broken Windows or Hope Is Important but it has great peaks like El Capitan and Too Long Awake. Chances are I'll still buy it. What other good music do you see coming our way apart from Bloc Party? Please no witty responses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allstardawn Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Feeder BECAME bland? I thought it was an ingrained mentalityhoho. you're asking for it no but if you listen to swim/polythene, then listen to pushing the senses, there's a BIG difference. And when i say 'difference' i mean a negative one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when i say 'difference' i mean a negative one.[/quote']Is it any surprise?And if they'd made albums all sounding like Polythene they'd get slagged off too. No win situation really.You obviously haven't heard the b-sides off the recent single.... which are anything but bland...... The album is also a grower. Granted, it's very different.
