Tobieski Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 "A band who will not look back on this record as a career high, but as the moment they stopped being defined by a genre and instead became (this bit is in italics) artists" - I am so done. Genuinely don't mind the NME, but this review is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobieski Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 On the second listen of AM now, I like it a lot but Alex Turner has been listening to The Black Keys' Brothers a fair bit hasn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 NME do the same thing with loads of bands, The Strokes for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justanothername Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 This is why I don't NME they just overrated some bands to high kingdom come! Also I swear they gave No More Idols by Chase & Status 1/10 which would give the suggestion that they don't like them but then they follow them. Someone please explain that to me.

Com Truise Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 NME's reviews: Whatever... - 10/10 Favourite Worst Nightmare - 9/10 Humbug - 7/10 Suck It and See - 9/10 AM - 10/10 As you may see the album rating correlates with the band's 'hype' (for lack of a better word) at the time. Without the glittering reviews of the debut, their live performances, their singles, it'd be unlikely that there would have been a debut album or a career. Could anyone say that musically Whatever... was a perfect 10? Or was it moreso because of the 'hype' that had consumed the small band at the time? Not really a shocker now that they've weighted their review on the current popularity of the band, they've been doing it all along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justanothername Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) In the dustbin of humanity you will find Saul Milton and Will Kennard – two dullards guilty of producing the most offensive sub-music since Kosheen. Making the kind of vacuous dumb’n’bass backdrops that have made Pendulum a band synonymous with shiteness, this London duo have enlisted a heap of likely goons (including Tempa T) and some shameful appearances from folk that should know better (Dizzee Rascal, Cee Lo Green), in a bid to cover up their electronic ineptitude. Despite Cee Lo’s vocal guidance (‘Brixton Briefcase’), you almost black out from the terribleness before coming to and realising you’re too good for this soulless nonsense.

adam1234 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) Not listened to AM yet for no other reasons than I've been very busy and can't be arsed. But for me best albums are: SIAS Whatever... Humbug FWN FWN is poor IMO only decent tracks if you were there beware, house is a circus, old yellow bricks , brianstorm,do me a favour and none are great apart from brianstorm. SIAS is a great album Edited September 4, 2013 by adam1234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Com Truise Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Fluorescent adolescent is by far the worst song they've released and one of the worst they've ever created. All IMO of course. And it's the worst album by a mile for me. However SIAS gets slated on here and that's my favourite so... I've got a few days off now so should be able to listen to AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
