Took me a little while too - it does grow though, and it is worth the extra time spent with it IMO.Quote:

Some of the Noel tunes on this album are the best that Oasis have ever produced.
disagree with your disagreement, if the album was released by any other random Brit indie band it wouldn't have even registered...its a horribly average record...Quote:

Well, I'll have to register my disagreement with the fact that you disagree with my original disagreement, Sir!!! :)Quote:

On that note, Doctor - I bid you good-day.
The first 5 tracks are among the best they've recorded. Falling Down is an excellent song too but I wish they'd just leave the songwriting to Liam and Noel, the other songs are barely average.Quote:

Wasnt Massive Attack due an album this year by the way?
It got delayed for several undisclosed reasons, last I heard it was due out in early spring 2009Quote:

Q Magazine's Top 50 for 2008. Found KOL's offering a major disappointment myself...................................

Have to agree on that. Over-rated album, much preferred Because of the Times. And radio saturation has killed it for me too. Razorlight 'Slipway Fires' is truly horrendous. Listened to it for the first time today. And the last time. Awful stuff. Kaiser Chiefs the same. How did they get in the countdown?Quote:

Got the Verve's "Forth" - which I think is great.
And because Q is like a Coldplay fanzine at the best of times, so that sort of tat would be right up their street.Quote:

i am usually years behind in movies and music, etc as I am always trying to catch up with stuff that i missed the first time around! I am currently listening to the Billboard top 100 from the 50's to 2000 - so you can imagine I have enough on my plate as it is!!!!
But albums i did download this year were....
Santogold
Paul McCartney's new one - I liked it anyway despite the critics
Goldfrapp
and Signur Ros - which is different - and quite sad really!
CSI: Ambleside by Half Man Half Biscuit is the only album I bought in 2008 ...and that's 2008s fault ...not mine.
:cool:
