sadimmock Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I was pretty ambivalent towards James until I saw them at last years Number 6. One of the few "big" bands to look as if they were actually trying. Would love to see again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastynh Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 The albums pretty good. Couple of stinkers on it but generally it is better than Le Petite Mort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am tired mate and coming to the end of my shift. I enjoyed it when they played it live the other week and from the 1st listen last night, I quite enjoyed it. The lead single is a bit crap and there is one that Tim sings in French which I found a bit underwhelming. Fair play to them, they are always trying something new. There are a few on there that have good festival singalong potential. Give it a listen mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much retrospective money grabbing 20th anniversary whatever album shite going on (The fucking Wedding Present et al are shameless money grabbing c**ts fleecing dull conservative middle aged men who pretend they like music but just want to listen to what they enjoyed when they were 18). If nothing else I respect James for trying new things and not resting on their laurels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd stick to Seven, Laid and Whiplash if wanting an introduction. Or their Best Of is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 James albums what I own: Stutter, on vinyl somewhere. Probably not played it for 20+ years Laid, Best of, on CD in the spare room with all the other Cds I had Gold Mother on cassette. Dunno where it is now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wozwebs Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 James were on Radio 2 this morning, covering Beyonce here. Sounds good to me http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03n5r6z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulieV Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 I've given up hoping James will appear. They would be great Friday tea time on the Other Stage. I'm not enjoying their new album though - may be it's a grower but so far, they seem to have forgotten to write tunes. Still - I'd be right down the front if they do play.
