Excellent news :w00t:

Did anyone listen? :o

Did anyone listen? :o

 

I didd.

 

I'm not keen at all really. Maybe it needs more listens, i'm not sure. But gahh they've sold out so much now. I hope the album has some heavy riffs on it.

 

For anyone that missed it. The opening piano riff reminds me a lot of a Doves song called 'Melody Calls'.

 

I have to admit like, after a couple of listens this isn't great. It's good that they've tried to go for a completely new sound and a new direction but it just doesn't work as well imo. Disappointing

 

But ah well, im more than prepared to give the album a fair shout, who knows, this may well be one of the weaker songs from it

According to wikipedia, the album's called Slipway Fires. Not sure whether thats confirmed or not

2. Hostage Of Love

I went to see them at Kentish Town Forum last night and they played about 8 of the new songs. They all sounded really good, especially Burberry Blue Eyes, North London Trash and Tabloid Lover. They sounded like a mix of Up All Night and Razorlight and with a new sound going on too so it will be interesting to hear them on the record.

Guess 'Slipway Fires' is the confirmed name then :lol:

 

Sounds like its worth a listen, but Wire to Wire the first song on it? Not much of an opening track imo :unsure:

Album has now leaked.

Don't know whether I can be bothered to listen to the album again.

 

I listened to it a few hours ago, and it totally passed me by. I'd call it Dad Rock more than anything. They've gone so bland. :( I was hoping for some of the old Razorlight on this album, but it's just a progression of the last album.

Not keen at all on first listen :( Some terrible lyrics and some good lyrics that only Razorlight would use but apart from two standout tracks I'm disappointed so far.

 

The fact that the Up All Night album immediatly follows it on my iTunes emphasises it even more :(

Some of the lyrics on this album are just shocking :o

album new at number 3 in this weeks midweeks

the album is worryingly drooping down the charts rapidly

The TV advertising has started to pay off and the album jumps from #123 to #81 this week
