YTSEJAM Digest 7159 Today's Topics: 1) Worst album ever by Antony Gelberg ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 07 Jun 2005 15:26:48 +0100 From: Antony Gelberg To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: Worst album ever Message-ID: <42A5AEA8.7000106@antgel.co.uk> What with the release of the new album I figured that I'd resub for a while. I can't stand those web forums, especially the one that's not even the band's own. I'm lucky in that there's only two of us in the office and we both like DT. We're halfway through first listen. I wouldn't dream of forming an opinion yet. I did write a review for Amazon UK, though: "I'm still only halfway through listening to this album, and my motivation for posting this review now is that I want to be the first person to review the album (even though I'm sure some geek got there first). I will do so in customary Amazon style: Track 1: Yeah 10/10 Track 2: Rocks 9/10 Track 3: Funny bit in middle 8/10 Track 4: Rocks 9/10 Track 5: Not heavy enough 10/10 Track 6: Too heavy 9/10 Track 7: I've run out of words 9/10 Track 8: Last track 10/10 I don't know why people even read these reviews. Can't they just listen and make up their own minds? Finally, if, like me, you are probably going to like this album, then buy it - oops you already have. And if you are, like most people, intimidated by bands who can play their instruments, and who write meaningful songs as opposed to mindless sheep-like faux-culture, then may I suggest you buy the new Coldplay album. I saw someone buying it at lunchtime in Sainsburys, with her sandwich. It was an impulse buy. She saw it on the shelf in the Number 1 position (how is this possible on the first week of release?), picked it up, saw that it was Coldplay, and thought "I'd better have that, it fits in with my demographic"." ---YTSEJAM-FILTER: This message was posted using the YML command ------------------------------ End of YTSEJAM Digest 7159 ************************** === Contributions to ytsejam: ytsejam@torchsong.com === === Send requests to: ytsejam-request@torchsong.com === === More information at: http://www.dreamt.org/local/ytsejam.php === === Brought by the ghost of ytsejam@arastar.coms past === === Reach the owner of this list at: ytsejam-owner@torchsong.com ===
