This would be my ranking of albums, I can see Villains fitting inbetween Rated R & Lullabies after a few more listens!  

Songs For The Deaf

Like Clockwork 

Rated R 

Lullabies To Paralyze 

Era Vulgaris 

S/T

 

[Odessa]

This might actually be their worst album you know. And I really like it. What a band.

Any time I hear this song I have to on to YouTube and watch him do it with PJ Harvey, one of the coolest clips in music from the second coolest dude in music.

Right, Villains... Finished third listen and it's already starting to change for me.

I listened at midnight and after the brilliant Feet Don't Fail Me, the next three songs (only two new to me but TWYUTD isn't Queens at their best either) had me thinking "fuck, everyone's right. This isn't much cop" and sorta soured the rest of the experience for me.

Listening today though and I'm realising how good some of these tunes really are  Stuff like Un-Reborn Again and Hideaway which didn't stand out to me on first listen are quality. Loving the dark synths too - I recall Josh was talking about how he'd been listening to John Carpenter scores and it's cool to see that implanted into the record. Some ropey lyrics still and some songs still much worse than others. Cba thinking about what it is in relation to their other records cos I'm just enjoying it for the time being but I think they can be very proud of this and the tracks are gonna go off live.

I'm on Hideaway now & was just thinking how great it is, yeah. Synths standing out for me as well. Love me a bit of synth.

Side C is where its at. Great tunes

[edwardjc14]

[Wooderson]

How good is this on wax? Laquer cut by the maestro Chris Bellman. They gave a shit!! #geek

[Wooderson]

Quietly **moved** by the end of Unreborn Again on vinyl. Astounding.

[Wooderson]

Shoes' bass on Hideaway on the decent speakers. Fucking hell this is good. 

Chalk it down. Glasters 2019 headliner.

[Gucci Piggy]

Album is v good on first listen.

Nice greatest hits set there with a couple of new ones put in there.

4 new ones at Leeds compared to 2 at Reading says to me the Leeds crowd was probably a bit dead. It was half 12, mind.

[the wonderwhy]

Came on late at Reading didn't they? Looks like they had to cut at least one and I imagine it was probably a new un

They're all bangers. One of my most listened to albums for sure

[aidenlangan95]

It's on iplayer now but only 20 mins of the set.

No One Knows, My God is the Sun and Little Sister aren't on it.

Tried rating their albums but, much like Radiohead for me, they have three near-masterpieces (Rated R, Songs for the Deaf and ...Like Clockwork), with the rest all being varying degrees of great as well, which makes it hard. Villains probably comes near the bottom for me, but that's only because it comes on the lower end of the great-scale.

Feet Don't Fail Me, Fortress and Villains of Circumstance are my persisting favourites. The Way You Used to Do remains my least favourite. Looks pretty ace live from the videos I've seen, but the studio version just falls flat for me and I've found myself skipping it a fair few times now.

[JSmurphy]

Reading set was brilliant. TWYUTD is a killer live track, much better than on record imo.
