Not at all
It's ACE.
my opinion might be a bit invalid
seeing as I don't really like them anyway, but I thought Mr Beast was totally boring. More so than there other stuff. The songs sound like they're missing a big chunk of something. They're more like half songs.
Yeah, it's invalid
Go on. Go away :)
:(
you can keep your smelly post rock.
I agree with Alan.
It's really fucking boring. But then they have been on a slow decline since they first appeared.
Its nice. Just nice
Mogwai perfectly listenable, but they are horrendously overrated, and also appear to be objectionable people when interviewed
It's brilliant...
I liked the single, but I like the rest of the album better. Track 2 - Glasgow Mega Snake is fantastic as is track 4 Travel is Dangerous.
The albums great,
but the PR they're having to do for it isn't.
I've only heard 'friend of the night'
but the album review suprise me because of the review they gave the single back in January (where they got compared to Snow patrol)and the way Mogwai have been very vocal in there opinions in the last couple of months.

*thread i mean
.
so we can all be convinced by
your sw33t arguing skillz?
Fat Beast
..is this the same Mr.Beast of Carter USM hanger on fame of the early 90's..the fat bastard
Jon Fat Beast
used to put on all the C86 gigs at the Bull and Gate, back in the day.
i wonder what
they'll write about this ... surely they can't be angry at a good review
can they ?
a good review by the nme
means the album is shit.
So they have a reason to be angry...
The album is fantastic. Fact.
...
^^ Fact. ^^
nah.
it's nice but not fantastic. mogwai can do so much better.
i hope
it's better than the single...
It is, I assure you
Only 3(?) tracks use piano...
I quite liked the single though!
i'm more than a bit...
scared !
Don't be...
it's really beautiful. I think it's a stunning album.
There's even a track with Japanese vocals (featuring one of the vocalists from Rock Action's brilliant Japanese hardcore band, Envy)
awesome
just been listening to Kicking A Dead Pig, i look forward to this :)i second the single bummage! the vid is great too!
Good review of it

You mean
they have a musical sideline project for when they get bored of public ranting ?!? Who'd have thunk it.
