2013 Lineup

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

What's to say kings of Leon didn't think that they progressed their sound. Or took the harder path? It's all subjective, they might love the new sound. They might think their old sound was not what they wanted to do anymore and wanted to move away from it. A shift is a shift, you will alienate people either way. As long as the band are making music that they like and aren't being forced by a record label then it's up to the band which direction they want to follow.

I'm saying they didn't, because that's my opinion? You may have a different one, but that's the point of a forum

I also think it's fairly obvious if you listen to their records back to back. As I said in my post, what you may think of their music is completely down to you, but I don't think it's controversial to say they changed the type of music they make from Youth And Young Manhood to Come Around Sundown.

I also think it's fairly obvious they took the easier route, from making music which keeps them at a cult level (the blues indie stuff) to the generic stadium rock of the later records.

I'm not criticising generic stadium rock, because a. it can be done well and b. it's your choice whether you like the music or whether you don't like, but I don't think it's controversial to say going from making cult music such as Because Of The Times, to making something such as Only By The Night or Come Around Sundown which will appeal to a mainstream audience is the easier route.

Or maybe he prefers Arctic Monkeys to Radiohead...?!

[The Mean Bean]

I'm 16 and I absolutely revel in this music, especially these examples

I don't think it's very fair to blame your age, I was about 12 when The Kaiser Chiefs and Razorlight were at their height, I still consider them some of my favourite bands of my childhood

[Gucci Piggy]

Don't worry guys. My band will break through soon and instigate this new musical movement we're all craving!

Not if my super group 'IJCBBHWSBAT' beat you to it

If Jesus Could Beatbox He Would Still Be Alive Today?

[AcademicPistol]

it's a bit shit when you're tastes aren't even recognised by most of popular culture

[MAD HARRY 27]

Slightly pessimistic way to put it but yeahh I know what you mean

I wish I had the chance to go to early Strokes, Libs and Arctic Monkeys gigs, but I caught Arctics after Favourite Worst Nightmare so I don't really ponder on it too much

[AcademicPistol]

Hey Will what about this one 'BHATVMS"

[kaosmark2]

Come Around Sundown sounds more like Youth And Young Manhood than Because Of The Times does. They have only really had 2 stadium rock songs and they were both from Only By The Night but other than them obvious 2 it's not too much of a different sounding album than the 'cult' Because Of The Times album.

[Gucci Piggy]

Double post. Hmmm.

[AcademicPistol]

Ahh I can't figure that one out

And come on, the Jesus Beatbox one was blindingly obvious from the abbreviation you gave!

[AcademicPistol]

Boris Had All The Virile Monkey Sluts.

[kaosmark2]

I wish it was. But officially it's:

Biff Hitler And The Violent Mood Swings.

[Gucci Piggy]

Haha I actually nearly said Biffy for the first word. Close enough

[kaosmark2]

I wouldn't even go as far to insult Come Around Sundown because I couldn't. It just sounded like the same track over and over and over again. I'd argue the only tracks I wouldn't call stadium generic rock from Only By The Night are Closer and Crawl.

[Mouseboy11]

I love The Libertines and I'm a big fan of The Strokes' and Arctics' early albums, I was listening to that sort of stuff from my early teens, but it's not the same then is it? How many festivals and gigs were you going to at 12? How often where you going out? By the time I'd hit 16/17 and was old enough to be a part of that scene it'd moved on, The Libertines had broken up and the Stokes/Arctics shows I've seen have been fucking poor. There's no real big music moments that'll be remembered and relevant that I can be a part of. There's a lot of new bands that I really love, but it's a bit shit when you're tastes aren't even recognised by most of popular culture, Yuck are never going to play a historic show at Spike Island.

Maybe it's my browser but those columns are fucked up.

Looks like you've got Bon Iver and Primal Scream down to sub the main stage.
