"When they were starting to get known a lot of people, and not only teenagers, were really excited about this band of girls who sounded different and didn't see to care about mainstream, everybody was excited and thought they would be a promise for rock music and music in general, breaking out of the mainstream sound of these times and going for something different, now they only seem to be interested in going mainstream and ubberly commercial."
are we seriously making this argument
― katherine, Tuesday, 30 July 2013 04:08 (ten years ago) link
I can't say that any of the four singles ("Forever", "Don't Save Me", "Falling", "The Wire") have scanned as anything other than pop to me
― monotony, Tuesday, 30 July 2013 04:14 (ten years ago) link
I mean it's fleetwood macky guitar-pop but it's still unmistakably pop
dgaf about LDR-esque "PR" arguments tbh

I don't think ferxez is anyone's sock, but a wayward soul who wandered in from a blog comments section somewhere.

ferxez needs to go now
― Deafening silence (DL), Tuesday, 30 July 2013 08:59 (ten years ago) link
Lol why do I have to go? I like their music, I have liked them since last year when I saw them live in the UK and weren't even much known by then, I have already saw them twice live and they're fantastic, I just don't like much the production of the latest single, I believe I'm entitled to have my own opinion like a lot of people around here, you can't silence people's opinions.

or can u

I think this is their weakest single to date but that's really down to the song rather than the production choices. Didn't think much of the rockier version they played at Glastonbury yet.
They were one of the more talked-about performances of the festival, you kept overhearing people talking about them, that was as much for the personalities and human element as anything else. They've done enough to take their time over the album rather than just rushing it out like so many heavily hyped debuts.
Would have been nice to have had the album for the summer though.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 30 July 2013 15:44 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, I'd wait an extra six months or whatever for an album that's 90%-100% good as opposed to wanting one immediately that only has 3 or 4 good tracks.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Tuesday, 30 July 2013 15:48 (ten years ago) link
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea that the band that put out "Don't Save Me" is now going for a mainstream, radio-friendly sound

cutting their teeth in the teenpop world is such a cool little detail

Word. Actually, I feel like each successive single has been weaker than the last.

xpost to MattDC I saw them a couple of times last year, and both times was impressed, but noticed the sets were only six or seven songs - and the best of them had been floating around YouTube for years. Which didn't fill me with confidence for the long term.

Don't Save Me > Go Slow > The Wire > Falling > Forever > Better Off > Honey & I (maybe? I haven't heard a studio version yet)
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 31 July 2013 16:01 (ten years ago) link
Oh whoops. I forgot Send Me Down, which would probably be between Falling and Forever.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 31 July 2013 16:02 (ten years ago) link
was gonna complain how the hype is doing this thing of fixating on the wrong old band they sound like (fleetwood mac instead of the pretenders!) but google shows me this isn't really true at all.
― R'LIAH (goole), Wednesday, 31 July 2013 16:04 (ten years ago) link
I don't get why I've seen so many Stevie Nicks references when she sounds way more like Christine McVie to me.
― Fetchboy, Wednesday, 31 July 2013 16:37 (ten years ago) link
they musically sound like FM but she is in no way like nicks! so dumb
― R'LIAH (goole), Wednesday, 31 July 2013 16:44 (ten years ago) link
Pretenders with a FM production sounds more accurate.
Hypem.com community loves them btw, yesterday I gave the wire a 'like' and it was on a measly 28 or so today it has jumped to 2.3K

I always forget about hype machine being a thing that exists, but I guess it's still useful in some way?
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 31 July 2013 19:33 (ten years ago) link
If you have a profile and personalize it to follow your type of blogs it's a great way to find new music, otherwise it's filled with bloghouse and amateur remixes. The popular section is also a fun alternate to the mainstream charts (albeit also filled with the afformentioned crap remixes).
― Moka, Wednesday, 31 July 2013 19:42 (ten years ago) link
Like per example you can follow cool mp3 blogs like awesome tapes from africa and soulsides (and moteldemoka, heh) and its an easier way to listen to a feed.

i'm not even so head over heels for this band but this greatly disappointed me too

Is blog house still a thing that exists? Or did dubstep take over that?
― MarkoP, Wednesday, 31 July 2013 20:02 (ten years ago) link
Yes and yes.
― Moka, Wednesday, 31 July 2013 20:28 (ten years ago) link
bloghaus just eventually subsumed dubstep back into itself

Don't like the cover choice, but I took it upon myself to at least make it a little more in line with the singles that have been released so far.

I tweaked Moka's just a teeny bit with higher res image and making the "days are gone" script slightly darker. I'll be using this image for my id3 tags when the album leaks/comes out for purchase.
