NME gave the Scream dogs abuse for the Give Out But Don't Give Upalbum. Infact they really hated rocks in particular when they reviewed the single.
That album may not be perfect but I don't think it's as bad as NME & Co claimed at the time.
The new album is a return to stonesy stuff isn't it? hmmm. I'm not sure thats a great idea though, they've spent years trying to get rid of that image. Still lets wait and see what it sounds like before judging. After all Evil Heat was just a rehash of xtrmntr(their best album IMO)
At least the Scream aren't just content releasing clones of Screamadelica which I'm sure the press would've preferred.

Their management had arranged for Luton Airport to remain open longer than usual so the band could fly in after playing in Dublin. Apparently Luton wasn't "rock 'n' roll" enough, and the band refused to make the trip. They were banned from appearing on the show for the next three years.
Say no more. Oh wait...

bollocks. the new single sounds like xtrmnr-era prml scrm going rock, with a mandolin, and as such is absolutely fucking wonderful. irritatingly, it disappeared from the iTunes music store (UK) just as i was trying to buy it, and now won't come back. fuckers.

i remember buying that in HMV in blackpool the day it came out. there's a truly beautiful pedal-steel song on it. god damn, now you've made me want to hunt through 1,000-odd records to find it. must ... go ... to ... bed ...
― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Monday, 17 April 2006 22:27 (eighteen years ago) link
it was briefly on iTunes tonight but disappeared. a hunt in the usual places should reveal some really piss-poor radio rips.
― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Monday, 17 April 2006 22:28 (eighteen years ago) link
(not that i want anyone thinking i just drove round and round a roundabout listening to it. although, thinking about it, that would be kinda fun ...)

despite them being my fave band ever for some time, i have been fearful approaching their recent stuff. LOVE for 'dixie-narco' ep.

god i feel old suddenly ! xtrmntr is by far my favourite prml album (vanishing point is ok, screamadelica and devil whatever, a bit boring... give out and this latest one, are absolutely uninteresting).

Based on the photos from last month's appearance at the Isle Of Skye fest:
1. Kevin Shields is showing up again 2. Bobby cut his hair (when his hair gets shorter the albums get better)

Bobby got introduced by Warren Ellis at ATP as "former Jesus and Mary Chain drummer Bobby Gillespie" - I'm sure he appreciated 20+ years of work being ignored :)
― onimo, Wednesday, 13 June 2007 16:07 (sixteen years ago) link
man, I didn't even recognise him! i though he was Ian McCullough when looking at the thumbnails.
Still a twat.
Shields looks good, he looks really good; he's lost a bit of weight recently. saw him a few months ago, he was doing sound for... uhhh, what is the name of that band. Rog's little brother's other band. this is really helpful I know.
ha ha, I agree with yr assessment of hairlenght to album quality, though - as usually it is indicative of drugs consumption.
