re: my thread on the arctic monkeys, you had taken the piss beacause of spelling the name of them wrong. ;) i'm just doing a critic/review of the cd for a mag here. thinking about sharing it with you guys at newstoday. ok, any feedback will be good, guys:>>>---
----------
The monthly hype of the press in England is yet somewhat really interesting! After hearing this cd that is clear. For what the boys out of Sheffield at the end of the day have put out is a large return to form for Britpop. But much more solid, however with much the usual cross-references (Pulp, Sleeper). After the "The View From The Afternoon" has gone , packed with energy levels, especially in the singer,there are punkier sounds with 70’s Disco riffs harmonizing well in "I betYou Look..." or "Fake Tale Of San Francisco". One can also hear echos of Clash in "You Probably Couldn’t..." - The boys have also miserably long song titles to match the Smiths- or even the Elastica in "Take You Home". The anthem here, simply is "A Certain Romance", next to "Mardy Bum" as one of the neck breaking songs of speed,hopefuly not the drugs.. therefore perfect for singing along at the next concert. As men in England say, a ‘skirt full’ of tunes, not perfect, but a powerful and melodious disk that makes jokes. 5.8/6 S Lutz

uhhh... isn't it just Elastica, not *the* Elastica. You'll lose tons of cred if ya publish it like that.

To put the Smiths in the same article with this band is horrid. This is more of the same bullshit garbage in garbage out industry music. This overhyped album will be followed by a more "experience and experimental" album, which will be followed by the difinitive third album that might be good but by that time everyone will be too busy with the next gimmick to care.
I'm gonna go listen to some Bowie now...

lutz, if you like them you go right ahead and publish your review and be as favourable as you like. jevad is just a sour old man with an unhealthy love for heart.
:P

Write what you like man. Some of the English is a little strange but you will be publishing in German, no?
If you like em, say so, that's what reviews are for.
(I havn't even heard them, though I suspect I'm with Jevad on this one.)
Just not on the Heart, the Spandau and the Duran Duran ;)
