    Really? I still think GOYB is crap and Magnificent is decent (the intro is superb and it could have been a hit if it had a slightly faster pace). The only thing that keeps me from despicing GOYB as their worst song since Grace is a strong emotional attachement with its radio debut, not worth explaining here.


    Yeah, really. GOYB is fun, exciting, experimental and new. Magnificent gets really monotone after just a few listens.

    Ireland, the place I'm in love with without ever having been there.
  3. Hello Drew
  4. Boots is better than Magnificent. That said, I actually like the Magnificent remixes over the actual song itself.

    I feel like I was the only that thought Cedars of Lebanon was one of the worst songs on NLOTH. What's so special about it?

    It's one of those songs to me that's like Beautiful Ghost or Dying Sailor. .. simple instrumentation but the words are so strong. Even Oh Berlin - it's like a sort of 'companion' piece to Cedars. Not so much the lyrics but the whole concept. Hope there's a few songs like that on another album.

    Probably the only songs that I don't listen to on that album are Magnificent, Crazy Tonight, Unknown Caller and depending on my mood, Stand Up. It has a great rock atmosphere about it, and still wouldn't have chosen it as a lead single or even a single full-stop. If they were clever, they'd have released two singles - No Line with the remix version of it, and Breathe coupled as an EP with Soon and two live tracks.

    But then I can sit here all day debating all the crap choices for singles, Hamish Hamilton's camera skills and lack of decent B-sides and the overpriced releases and the 'we don't like Pop' mentality - unless someone wants to.
  5. Excellent post Drew.
  6. Don't get me started on Hamish Hamilton. Long-time members will know why straight away.

    Hey Olof.

    Hey Olof.


    What's been up lately then? I did get a few of those promised messages on FB. They were kinda epic.
  8. Not as epic as I thought they could have been but hey, still had a good time.

    On another sad note, that's my short new year's celebration over. Roll on 2013 and 2014 for more epic nights!!! However, there is this:

  9. I'm trying to convince my family to watch Once after all the nice words I've heard about it.

    I like my thought line: if it has Dublin in it, it's good enough.
  12. Can I ask why everyone want to emigrate to Ireland?
