Ian Brown

"Illegal Attacks" is stating the obvious at least four years too late.
The man is an arrogant, gormless twunt and the Stone Roses are the most overrated band ever.

I'm kind of liking the new single, even if it's just a reconfiguration of every solo single he's ever released. What I'm struck with, though (probably because I haven't gone to the trouble of seeing an Ian Brown video in years and years), is how all the sudden he's a VERY OLD MAN.

My Way is the sixth solo album by British artist Ian Brown. The album will be released on September 28, 2009. The album's lead single "Stellify" will be released on September 21, 2009.

My Way was inspired by Michael Jackson's Thriller with Brown noting that "we mastered it on the day that Michael Jackson died (too), so I'm taking that as a good omen."

1. Stellify
2. Crowning Of The Poor
3. Just Like You
4. In The Year 2525
5. Always Remember Me
6. Vanity Kills
7. For The Glory
8. Marathon Man
9. Own Brain
10. Laugh Now
11. By All Means Necessary
12. So High

questions:

is he wearing a sweatshirt with a picture of himself on it?

what the hell does "stellify" mean?

is it possible to watch or listen to ian brown without feeling sort of bad for him?

Weird, I just was listening to him yesterday for the first time in awhile. "Corpses," "Set My Baby Free," and a few others really do hold up well. Oddly, the AMG review of "The World Is Yours" calls Golden Greats and Music of the Spheres post-Britpop masterpieces.

what the hell does "stellify" mean?

When interstellar matter forms a star. How sciency!

oh. i wondered if it had to do with intastella.

so My Way has now leaked.

That's an optimistic way of looking at it, I guess.

Somebody should probably clean that up.

Awful, awful, awful.

(Imagine a reply about Chris and Ian, two Browns beating up their girls, that somehow cannot be interpreted as racist here.)

Yeah, well, he's married to a curvy Mexican woman, so beating up the flowers of indie rock womanhood looks decidedly dingy and drab to him I'd've thought.

Bar stereo is playing 'Corpses in Their Mouths' forgot this existed

i remember being really into that first record. partly because of how it felt, all handmade & fuzzy.

i like the first couple of albums but not heard the rest

First album is verrrrry great. Shitty sound and inspired songs.

Been further downhill with ea one since then.

The Public have lost all respect and credibility for your views!

Your music and cheekbones are a dream ❤️but your tweets are a nightmare 👍🏻

Jedward not otm I'm afraid, he's a disgustingly ugly + unsexy specimen and always has been, even with the cheekbones. Can't help lolling at his use of "lame stream media" though.

is he using it differently than Sarah Palin did way back when tho?

proper stupid man

he looks so puny though. I've seen children that could take him out.

Currently charging £40 to see him singing in front of a pre-recorded backing track, not going down well with anyone, it seems.

Pre-recorded vocals would seem to be a better idea when it comes to an Ian Brown gig - someone else's vocals.

He has never been a great vocalist, but he seems to have got significantly worse of late, you could probably pick a random member of the audience and they would do a better job.

actually my first impression of that was "Shaun Ryder sounds alright these days"

Isn´t this what most artists do these days? Like Bad Bunny or Rosalia?

Saw the Mondays a few weeks ago. Shaun wasn't great (was he ever?) but Rowetta was incredible live xp

xp yeah but they can put on some sort of performance, not shuffle around and mumble out of tune.
