I ordered Alone impulsively without hearing anything about it and I really like it. anyone else own this fine piece of deomoage? actually inspied me to record demos of my songs on audacity.

And The young knives- I ordered the album on the strength of the DiS review. The NME review gave it a thrashing. I know who I'd believe... it obviously can't be as bad as the review says. Someone must have annoyed the NME.

i have faith

in the nme again! im glad those cunts got rinsed. fucking young knives


What out of 10 did NME give it?

Does it say on the Magazine section on the site?


NME gave The young knives album 5/10

but they also gave alone, the cuomo demos 4/10


Yes I bought Alone the other week

Only listened to it once but I read the little commentaries at the same time and found it to be not only good fun but also very special in the sense that you feel like your getting quite an insight into what was going on at the time etc.


yeah the liner notes are ace

amazon sent me a warped vinyl so it sounds even more demo-like. that "urban" one is uber shite though


Too fucking right.

They have had it in for TYKs for a long time. It came as no surprise that they gave it a shit review.

I cant wait to get the album, regardless of what that bunch of tossers say about it.


You shouldn't have to worry

most people over the age of 17 dismiss the NME as cack anyway.


I know I shouldnt' get wound up by them

but I cant help it.
