"My room has been plunged into darkness. Is my light bulb dead?? What should I do????"

Well I tried it other cd players, and it works fine. Just won't play on my computer anymore (haven't had a chance to try it on other computers)

two weeks pass...

Are we really through with this album already? Really? I'd say Radiohead have some competition when they return.

aren't they touring now or very soon?

Well, they're playing Seattle June 10.

i love this album.

I don't think they're going to trouble Radiohead much in the songwriting department...

But sonically, I hear what you're saying.

I'm v.much hoping Radiohead have some surprises left in them, but also fearing they won't :(

Of all the comments on this thread, Dog Latins original take is spot on.

swinging through australia this week. they're playing new stuff in their set which is of a more sraightahead rock direction, according to street press interview I read.

I would just like to say that I still don't think this album can compete with Tago Mago or Can in general, and for that reason I appreciated Melissa's post above (along with an awful lot of February posts above - I really missed out!). But it's still pretty damn cool. Whoever first said it was related to Flowers of Romance, I can see that too, without Lydon's stamp of individuality, that is.

not at all. my album of the year by some way, so far. mind, i don't feel i'm doing a good job keeping up with new stuff at all right now.

parts of this album seem to have a coil-scatology influence.

― kephm (kephm), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 01:02 (eighteen years ago) link

Thom often has suspect taste in music. Kinda want to shake him for seeing anything in this album. But ah well.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 02:52 (eighteen years ago) link

why? this album's great!

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 02:59 (eighteen years ago) link

One of my favorites this year. Still listening to it almost weekly. That Thom's got a good ear, Mel! Even the EPs are decent. (Great artwork, too:

RAHHHHH!!!)

I think it's a really great album, with Booka shade it's one of only two new albums I've listened to extensively this year.

That EP cover seriously rocks.

yes awesome cover

― sleep (sleep), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 13:59 (eighteen years ago) link

it seems someone has been listenig to Byzantum per mayhaps?

― Mr. Vas Djifrens (byzantum), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 14:06 (eighteen years ago) link

I had this playing quietly while driving at about one in the morning and the others in the car thought it sounded like music to sleep to. It's kind of true, though.

two months pass...

still love this album.
i found a pretty sweet video of them doing a nirvana cover, but can't seem to find it now.

― Christopher Costello (CGC), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 20:21 (seventeen years ago) link

argh, thanks for reminding me that I still haven't gotten my copy back from the friend I lent it to

― bernard snow (sixteen sergeants), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 22:15 (seventeen years ago) link

i still can't get into this album but they were absolutely great live a month or so ago

― david allen grier (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 23:20 (seventeen years ago) link

I like this a lot, and hated all their previous stuff.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Tuesday, 1 August 2006 23:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Still really glad I heard this but that whole weak concept-instead-of-songs thing got underwhelming real fast. Pretty easy to delete.

― fandango (fandango), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 00:11 (seventeen years ago) link

"It Fit When I Was A Kid" excepted...

― fandango (fandango), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 00:12 (seventeen years ago) link

I really did not enjoy their live show at all. it was basically identical to the record, except with a really smelly dude somewhere in close proximity to me

― bernard snow (sixteen sergeants), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 00:14 (seventeen years ago) link

live show I saw was just so-so until the encore, then "Broken Witch" blew my head open ... made the whole thing worth it

― dmr (Renard), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 00:39 (seventeen years ago) link

def. one of the best records of the year. all NY hipster post-punk bands need to move to Berlin and record in old communist radio studios and become infatuated w/ the idea of "the drum".

― La Monte (La Monte), Wednesday, 2 August 2006 01:17 (seventeen years ago) link

three years pass...

The DVD with it, which I initially assumed to contain videos for three different songs, actually contains three different videos for the entire album!

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Tuesday, February 21, 2006 5:26 PM

i thought the same and had totally forgotten that disc was there until the other day when i skimmed through it. very ambitious, so used to getting lame bonus shit with cds (lol interactive cd-roms?) and this really pisses on all that

eleven years pass...
