October 24, 200915 yr DJ and Chess are my favourites so far...not got into anything else quite as much so far but I reckon they'll be growers very different to the debut, the early 90's influence is so evident, but moreso 1988-1992 I'd say, it's very Black Box meets early Kylie Minogue in places production wise, the stuttering vocal effects and clunky piano...a couple of the songs sound like the recent Bloc Party songs actually :lol: they should have covered Ride On Time and What Do I Have To Do as bonus tracks :kink:
October 24, 200915 yr I'd have liked them if they sounded like recent Bloc Party songs :kink: :heehee:

But anyway, DJ is also a fav right now, but I love Heart Failure more :wub: Heat Wave too :dance:
October 27, 200915 yr Three words - amazing amazing amazing :win: Will post more when sober :kink: I'm quickly becoming the official BJ Alphaloon aren't I? :kink:
October 27, 200915 yr Author Yes you are! Can't believe you've seen them! I WANT TO SEE THEM! :snif: That's both you AND Rich (Gooddelta) who have seen them :(
October 27, 200915 yr loving the album. in particular: 'DJ', 'chess', 'the beat is', 'heatwave' and 'heart failure'.
October 27, 200915 yr Three words - amazing amazing amazing :win: Will post more when sober :kink: I'm quickly becoming the official BJ Alphaloon aren't I? :kink: Omg post the set list pleaaaase, I'm going on Saturday :cheer: did you get to meet and greet or anything, who supported lol 101 questions
October 27, 200915 yr Author Omg post the set list pleaaaase, I'm going on Saturday :cheer: did you get to meet and greet or anything, who supported lol 101 questionsYEAH THAT'S RIGHT SIMON! KICK A MAN WHILST HE'S DOWN! :angry: :cry: - We're supposed to be brothers! Me you and Theo :snif:
October 28, 200915 yr It's at times like this you learn who your friends are :kink: Anyway, I'm not one, cos I can't remember the set list :lol: A new band with the stupid name of Ou Est Le Swimming Pool supported, but they were actually pretty great. The venue was tiny, packed to the rafters. They did roughly half old material and half new, plus a cover of Aint Nobody (UK bonus track much :kink:) Best tracks, Heart Failure, The Spell, Boyfriend (really sweet moment with mine :wub:) and an amazing extended encore of Fascination. Only one disappointment for me - no Fantastic 6 :( But nothing big really, superfantastic otherwise!
October 29, 200915 yr I keep missing out on seeing them, they're often in Brighton but I always seem to find out the day before they play, and already have plans :lol: they were brilliant last year though! this album is bizarre...it's good, I can hardly compare it to the last album because they feel like they come from different time periods...I don't like it as much as This Is Alphabeat at this moment in time but it's growing with each listen
October 30, 200915 yr It's true, it's like Popjustice said, it's kind of difficult to know who they are from it, it almost seems like a totally different band... do love it though. Shame that the album will not be released until 15 February 2010 (can see it being canxed if single #2 flops too :()
October 30, 200915 yr Yeah, decent choice, but I'm not sure I can see it as a huge hit... Heart Failure or Heat Wave would be better i think.
October 30, 200915 yr About an hour and a half I think? I don't really remember, it felt like seconds :wub: It took them ages to come on tho, it was 7pm doors, and the support band wasn't on until about 8:45...
October 31, 200915 yr dare I say it, I don't think anything else on the album at all screams hit single if The Spell couldn't even go above #20 :snif: DJ won't trouble the top 20 and it's the most instant song on there besides The Spell
