expect ilxors of 2027 to revive acclaim this as Prius Pop or something.
Uh I'm not reading a lot of acclaim in that Mondeo Pop thread if that's what yr getting at... I mean I really don't endorse the idea of a 'hivemind' on here but if someone tried to make an album that was 100% no returns guaranteed to encounter blanket ILM hate, this would be the one

I was shopping for lingerie for muh wuhmmun in debenhams last night. She got some nice stuff, and it was 1/2 price in the sale! SCORE. Pity we had to listen to this on the in-store TV thing:

it is seriously the worst record I have ever heard. Leaden playing that sounds like they got shit musicians and used protools to pull their performances into time, shit singing, shit lyrics. Shit, shit shit. Are all their lyrics dislikeable butthurt whining about not getting the girl, that makes you think the singer will be getting a restraining order for stalking in a few more weeks? GET ONE REALDOLL, LOSER. This is some awful rubbish. Fuck these people, they deserve pain.

Savage tunee - was this a mishearing of Jimmy Tarbuck? "Oho, lovely tuney, I play it on my iPoddy when I'm on the green with Brucie, Lynchie, Dan Hipgravey and TV's Tim Vincenty, oho, Maggie etcy."

Every single song is exactly the same yet still as someone has already said, shitter than the first and I cannot stand the pianists face. Plus the glamour model that appeared in that first vid must have fallen on hard times (joke somewhere) to be convinced that being in their vid would lead to more fame.

No, far more stalker-pop.
I diarrhea'ed all over the Coldplay thread about them. I had no idea they were quite so bad. Honestly, I know that ILM will get it collective knickers in a twist over anything, but...
They're like a blander, more insipid, more mediocre version of Maroon 5 - and I didn't think that was possible!

KC and SfG are way worse than Coldplay or PCollins.

But nowhere near as bad as Elbow (xxp).
...and I'm not even going to get started on how the phrase "date rape indie" is possibly more offensive than the aesthetic content of their music. >:-(

Geir, have you been editing Wikipedia again? Also, can someone who knows more about music tell if those BPMs are right. They seem awfully fast.

they were on the telly once in their heyday and for some reason the main guy was tuning his guitar and he actually didn't know how to do it.
so basically scouting for girls are punk rock.
