[Trotskilicious]

cathrine wheel is going to come tell us it's the best they've put out since pop

[Mooney]

..and claims its a toss up between them and r.e.m. for best post-punk band of all-time.

[Trotskilicious]

REM? I think you'll find CW will say something like the Chameleons or Echo and the Bunnymen

[Sonic Johnny]

Nah he'll find it funny that The Edge wears sunglasses while Slash also wears sunglasses but they have different styles of playing

[Catherine Wheel]

I haven't liked anything U2 did since Unforgettable Fire. Probably won't lIke this one either.

It has a 2.47 out of 5 stars on rateyourmusic which is pretty awful.

[Sonic Johnny]

There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Poor numbers on rateyourmusic

yeah, i was just thinking of the post-punk influence on the first couple albums of each band respectively before devolving into uter shit. i gave CW too much credit - this wasn't covered by his 'best post-punk bands of all-time' google search.

to be fair, a band like this still producing music can have just one or two good songs on a new release and that would mean they haven't completely lost it (a la Rush).


on a related note I just heard some teases of Robert Plants new album and that sounded pretty interesting, what little I heard.

utter shit??? pulleeze...look, Bono is a wanker and all, but sans Rattle and Hum, their musical trajectory through Zooropa is pretty epic.

The first 2 tracks are garbage. Stopped listening after that. The second song Every Breaking Wave sounds like a corny 80s pop rock song.

You've posted a lot of outlandish bullshit on this board in your time but this might just take the cake.

the only thing you got right there is the leftist thing.


and the 2nd half of Joshua Tree is the essence of alternative music. that, and REM's Murmer.
