OMG people posting negative comments and reviews on the wildhearts forums!!?

I'm suprised you've not all been banned yet, i'm sure when i commented remotely negatively about Yoni I got a near torrent of angry aggressive replies. :)

Nice to see some people being critical and thoughtful about the album, not saying I necessarily agree, but it's refreshing on a forum where the general trend is just to say "Fucking Amazing, BEst wildies album yet!!" without any real thought.

I personally still don't particularly like the first 2 tracks. Rooting is riffing for riffings sake and the lyrics arn't as interesting as most of gingers and sweetest has interesting lyrics but not in a good way imo, just seems like he was desperate to be as offensive and vitriolic as possible (perhaps in reply to Must be destroyed criticism?). Have to agree some of the riffs sound forced and not quite part of the song as riffings parts on older tracks are. i.e Sky babies is a ridiculously long song but it just all fits and feels like it came naturally.

On the plus side I do genuinely think Hard Way, Revolution, New Flesh, Bi-polar baby are great, slaughtered and inner city are both decent tunes. Undecided on Destroy still.

I'm actually glad some people dont like it what a boring mundane world it would be if we all liked the same stuff i'd like to see what everyone said in 1997 when E.N came out because i didnt see anything about it at the time. When i heard it i thought it was shit too but now i love Most tracks off it not all though ! so this album will either grow on people or it wont same as E.N same as TWMBD which i also wasnt keen on. Bands change sometimes for the better sometimes not anyone like St Anger ?

That was before the LiST moved to the yahoo group. From memory though, there was what you might call a heated debate about it (she says, in an understated fashion). I haven't got any of the really old archived stuff but no doubt it's stored somewhere!

I can count on one hand the number of people I can remember being banned from the list/forum/whatever over the years, and it certainly wasn't for expressing an opinion about *music* :P

Amazon.com reckons it's out on May the 1st in the States?


It's not that I can't buy it, but its SO much money. Who the hell has 30 bucks for a cd? I dont! I'm hoping that its released on itunes US so I can at least download it and wait for payday to come back around and buy the real thing. You Uk'ers are monumentally lucky!


Ah, see, now, I wasn't suggesting you cough up that much for it , the link was mostly just to show the release date (if it's true :?). Does the band even have a US distributor since SXSW fell through?

The only problem with that is that, at the moment, the exchange rate is crippling so it'd cost her way over the odds to import it. :(

I dunno why, but "Oh Bonita" sounds like a Pulp B-side (with louder guitars and Ginger singing)....

Bang!

I can't believe you don't like the first 2 tracks, i think they are awesome.

I don't care much for Yoni either by the way.

Been lstening for a week now and think I'm now of the opinion that it's about a 7 out of 10.

I would say I prefer EVTW and PHUQ and FFL and WMBD ahead of it, but still a good album. Does seem a bit forced with the riffs and overlong songs.

I think if Ginger had saved the best songs from Valor and Yoni and put it with the best songs from this album it really would have been a classic. I just hope they stick around long enough to do another one ASAP!

I'm fucking loving it!! Could maybe do without " She's All That" but everything else is fantastic. A return to form after the lacklustre WMBD. It gave me the same feeling that FFL (Fan Club Version) gave me back in '94. I defy anyone not to be singing "Bi-Polar Baby" constantly even after just one listen. I think it's a shame that they don't seem to be playing much off it because wasn't the last tour a "Greatest Hits" tour? Tour in support of the album? Play tracks from the album. Seems obvious to me! Hopefully by Manchester a few more will have sneaked into the set.

AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Y'know, it's been mentioned a lot how The New Flesh sounds like We Didn't Start The Fire but I just don't hear it. I consider myself to be a Billy Joel fan (I am an innocent man) but the similarity evades me. More listening to the new album is required! *rubs hands with glee*
