The new Maximo Park single

It's fucking amazing. Wow. I'm probably out of touch with all you modern kids and your downloadingisms, but I've just heard it for the first time.

I love it. Like a massive pile of brilliance, that keeps building and building right through the song and somehow seems to get faster and faster before ending perfectly on him saying 'velocity' in that wonderful wobbly vocal he has.

Sounds a bit like the Airwolf theme in one tiny moment as well, which made me smile.

  • I'll try and listen to this later

    I really liked their first album - thought it stood out in what was quite a crowded field at the time.

    • Listened to it last night

      Its nice and chunky but loses its way a bit. Not really sold on the band either tho, but can see why peeps like it.

  • im gonna be bold and say

    this is the best song maximo park have ever done

    sharp_yet_blunt | 10 Feb '07, 17:53 | Reply

    • Velocity

      is average at best. Nothing as inventive as Apply Some Pressure or Graffiti. Was sadly disapointed I'm afraid as I'm a huge fan.

  • really?

    cause it sounded just like all their other crappy crap.

      The constant tempo changes, the hooks, it's a real masterpiece in how to build a song.

  • I do quite like it actually.

    But WHYYYY did he suddenly start dressing so rubbishly? he used to look like Alan Partridge. It was good. Now he looks like some kind of brit pop reject. :(
