Really looking forward to this. They're a bit hit and miss for me but it'll be good to hear something new from them. Feels like they've been away for an absolute AGE.

Did not see it coming, almost after 3 years of absense! Love them :wub:

Ahh I do hope this is good, they are a tiny bit hit and miss but when they're good they're AMAZING.

 

I need to see them live! Lovefoxxx :heart:

I WANT THIS RIGHT NOW.

Goodness what a cover.

I thought they split up?

 

Anyway...I'm kinda looking forward to this. I thought Donkey had some good songs. Believe Achieve, Move and Left Behind are all A* for me.

In the year 2011 CSS make me nauseous.

 

I'm not sure i have heard this one before, apparently it's one of their pre-Donkey stuff. Ha! <3

 

Not sure if I like this.

It's very summery and I VERY MUCH QUITE LIKE IT on first listen

The vocal progression really isn't all that. Could be much tighter.

 

NONETHELESS THAT BEAT

it's fun! i feel like it's silly to judge css as good or bad as they are always just fun fun fun

they have always been fun, summery, easy listening pop pop (except the dodgy second record that is)

I'm loving Hits Me Like A Rock. I guess I can't let Nu Rave go...wish it was 2006 again.

I like the new single... Hope it will be a good album. I listened to CSS' debut a lot and didn't dig Donkey at all. Plus a new cover looks great (Donkey's was ugly) so I feel like I have nothing to worry about haha.

So this is quite good! I don't think they'll ever recapture the heights of 'Let's Make Love...' but some excellent stuff nevertheless, and a definite improvement on Donkey. 'Red Alert' is my favourite, I think. Do we include 'City Grrrl' with the whole saxophone trend? :lol:

 

Oh and there's a delightfully insane spoken bit from Lovefoxxx at the end! :heart:

CITY GRRRL :wub:

 

The reviews I have seen for this have been less than positive to say the least...still, I shall not let that cloud my judgement, I'm a sucker for a lovely bit of CSS.

Oh my it's ACTUALLY GOOD. I think we can all just pretend Donkey never existed now and live happy lives, YAY.

City Grrrl is great! And I think I could grow to like the rest of the album.

 

I think I only listened to Donkey once but La Liberacion is miles better.

A real shame that such an IDIOSYNCRATIC BAND has become relegated to NME-confined FAD status to the highest extreme (they really did make that year at Reading in the mid-2000s that I cannot remember...)

 

If nü-rave hadn't had happened they'd BE SOMETHING today
