they've been around since 2006 - 2 years is hardly "so long", is it? Especially considering this is their first full-length. It's not like they've had material overlooked year after year.
And, bitch, they didn't sell out. As far as I know they haven't done any work with Coca Cola or agreed to write a song for High School Musical 4 yet. If you can make a lot of money by doing what you originally set out to do, then you're a winner, not a sell-out. What they didn't want was to become a "hype-band" - which unfortunately, is exactly what they have become through no fault of their own.
he obviously thinks he's much more relevant than he actually is. People in the future telling their kids they were at the Kanye show back in '08...lol!
Do you ever get the feeling that you're fighting a losing battle? Kudos though, people like you amaze me; firstly because of your inhuman amount of persistence, secondly because you genuinely think you can make an impact on file-sharing, never mind stop it. Keep it up though - the lulz everyone gets from your emails make it all worthwhile. Oh, and I never knew Animal Collective were your clients? I've actually managed to avoid that band up to this point, being put off by their pretentious fans more than anything - but I think I may just have to illegally download their entire discography now that I know it may, in some teeny tiny way, make you a little worse at your job. MERRY CHRISTMAS.RAR!!!!!
in all seriousness, judging by the standard of today's output, anyone with even a minimal knowledge of music could make a "fucking pop hit". I could've written a better "fucking pop hit" than 'Single Ladies' by clenching a pen in my sphincter, squatting over a page and masturbating simultaneously. It would probably have better grammar and punctuation too.
the only good xmas songs in the last ten years:
sarah mclachlan - wintersog
aimee mann - the christmas song
rob thomas - new york christmas
the darkness - christmas time (don't let the bells end)
barenaked ladies - footprints
why do people not write good christmas songs anymore?
Oh great, more music awards from the most irrelevant institution in the world. This is the sort of thing that should have died out years ago. Annie Lennox was the only slight saving grace. And Beyonce's legs. Oh, and I fail to see how any of the artists named by Kanye are breaking stereotypes and pushing the envelope. If this is what's seen as innovation these days, pop music is truly dead.
Good function there on MySpace. But Rapidshare are doing a really good offer too, where you actually get the whole album, in mp3 format, forever, for free. I took advantage of this offer, but deleted the album afterwards. I thought I was listening to a MIDI file.
At least Magick is blatant, cheesy rock that's really just meant to be a laugh. Natural Ghost on the other hand is the worst thing he's ever recorded. EVER. Honestly.
I always have ..."mad props"... for anyone who gives their side of the argument in response to a stupid mass internet rant. In all seriousness, I would recommend their debut album to anyone who has already damned them based on the new song. It's surprisingly good.
This is starting to look like he's already written a script for these shows. Practically forcing the crowd to hate him. My last shred of hope in the Pumpkins lies in the thought that Billy has another Siamese Dream already finished, but he's not going to release it until after this terrible comeback (which is staged; it's meant to shit; Zeitgeist was an inside job!), where the world is turning it's back on them. Then suddenly....BAM!! We're rockin' it like it was 1993!!
Come on...please be true..please...
Whereas Flowers is just deluded about his shitty, shitty music, Adams definitely has a shout at album of the decade with Heartbreaker. Although this year, REM's Accelerate is probably a better album than Cardinology, and that's scary.
And why is it "awesome" when he doesn't understand Oasis' lyrics, but rips on REM when he doesn't have the general knowledge to understand theirs?
I hate to agree with Brandon here (partly cause I hate him, partly cause I like Ryan) but I would agree that this is probably nothing more than a cry out for media attention.
I genuinely don't know what's going on here. I don't even know what sort of comment to post.
First of all, for those people (if there are any?) that seriously think this song is good - you're wrong. I'm not an indie hipster, I like my fair share of mainstream pop-rock - Counting Crows, Matchbox Twenty, Goo Goo Dolls - but this is just utter fucking shit. The self-titled 3EB debut was actually pretty good, for what it was. Since then, they've been getting steadily worse and have hit a new low with this piece of shit.
OK now, just to cover all my bases....
When I first heard this song, I was all like...WTF!? I thought the lyrics were atrocious. But then the more I heard it, the more I realised that the words were actually insanely intellectual and thought-provoking - I'm talking Bruce Dylan caliber here. Stephen is speaking to us on a level that no other pop stars even attempt and making us look within ourselves for answers. Not to mention how insanely catchy the guitar playing is. The middle-part really got me jumping around! LOL! All of you hipsters who are judging the band, please go to their MySpace page and listen to some of the other tracks off the Red Star EP, which is available now from all good retailers.
...but....but this site doesn't seem to explain anything! Perhaps if I listen to all the MP3s you've uploaded there if might become more clear why you've never been a fan? It's a long shot, but hell, I just can't think why else you'd have posted that link three times if there wasn't some important information in there. I'll get back to you.
When is this guy going to take the fucking skirt off
Both those setlists are pretty shitty, to be fair to the heckler. Five or six good songs each night isn't good enough.
what you meant to say, I presume, is "I COULDN'T give a fuck"
what you said is actually a compliment, if anything.
there's a difference, see if you can work it out.
Pretty decent video, but I agree; they did go a little too far. The fact that they had a downs syndrome girl in the video in the first place was a little risky, but when they all started to rape her, they kinda lost me. And perhaps the part where they used those aborted fetuses as guitar slides was a bit unnecessary. Having said that, I eagerly anticipate their next effort.
when i found out that Temporary People was going to be another record with the Lonely Astronauts, I have to say I was really disappointed. Only cause of the fucking abomination that was Let's Just Be. But this track sounds much better. Cleaner production, better performances etc. Even though he's still sticking with this hoarse Stonesy vocal style, if the rest of the record is this good, it'll be a huge step up from last year's effort.
