The Music Thread

[Cruyff14]

Probably far too many. Sounds like they are just using too many b-sides to make an album?

Nah, listen to the album. There is no way these tracks are B-sides. They're very strong tracks.

This wasn’t a diss on Taylor. More that it always feels like that when artists have that big an album. Will try and give it a listen at some point.

I listened today, felt like it was lacking something. There weren't many catchy hooks that I'd expect from a Taylor Swift song.

I think 31 songs in such a short space of time does leave a lot of them feeling samey.

Yeah, I felt the same.

Whilst her whole discography isn't necessarily samey, I felt that a lot of the songs just blended into each other. For such a bloated album, there wasn't a lot of variety.

Saw The Last Dinner Party last night and they were ****ing phenomenal.

Truly one of the best concerts I've ever seen.

Don't know who on Earth they are, but glad you loved it.

Good news for you they've just released a new music video


I think if you mixed Florence + the Machine, Queen, some 80s influence and then add a bit of a heavier sound, you get this band.

People have labelled them industry plants but I don't really think that matters if they're as good as they are.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

“And I will f*** you like nothing matters” ! Interesting lyrics on another of their songs

 

[Loonerty]

Yes swearing in music is very risque

It's OK, but not really to my taste. But I am glad that you love them.

New Jack White album is very good, very much like old White Stripes

It’s brilliant. Not sure why JJJ have largely snubbed Fontaines DC over the years.

They are a Double J band.

They are a Double J band.

Oh right. I barely listen to Double J.

Wunderhorse album ‘Midas’ is fantastic.

 

[Cruyff14]

Killers are touring.

 

[chef]

Killers are touring.

Yeah, hot fuss show is the one I'll go to.

 

[Cruyff14]

These guys are so damn good. I grin like an idiot every time I watch this particular vid, but man, all their stuff is so good. The drummer is excellent, as is the pianist!

Wunderhorse album ‘Midas’ is fantastic.

It's from Cub, but Teal is one of my favourite songs of all time.
