So if you are a reviewer, then surely you know that only one person generally write a review, so you're going to get one person's view.

Getting a bunch of angry Easyworld fans to "vent some spleen" is not getting a balanced view - it's getting a purely biased view, as they're only going to vent spleen if they disagree...

adie.

if you've been listening to an album you hate for months then there must be something wrong with you.

Hello its me again.
Number 1: You doubt Im a better journalist than you due to my lack of correct grammar and punctuation? Well Im truely sorry if I didnt make the effort on an internet website.
Number 2: People like you who dont actually like anything shouldnt be writing for a music website, go take up knitting, or better still join a bingo club then you can go and complaign about everything with all the old people. People like you ruin music for everyone.
Number 3: My argument is not out of the window at all, you're still wrong, and its clear you have no musical knowledge at all.

ill come down in a month or so, im finally starting to get to grips with my bank debts :)

its funny you know... its easy to see some of the more downbeat tracks on the album and gloss over the upbeat or at least up tempo ones. the nearest to upbeat they have is 2nd amendment and when you come back. the uptempo ones are them and celebrity killer and just from a style point ot voice all i can remember can kinda be put in with them. thats four of the tracks. if you think about tiwis it had try not to think, bleach, you and me and hundredweight and essentially they were the faster upbeat tracks. everything else is more tender and emotional. the only difference i find is theyve stopped the throwaway chirpyness of the upbeat songs making them simply more rocking and theyve also learnt to write emotional songs where u can convey the emotion without wailing like yr emo. saddest song does more for me than demons does even though its an equally good song. i always found the quite loud quite loud formula a bit repetative in easyworld and i do just like the fact theyve branched out a bit. and i do like it better than the old stuff. if you hear any of the recent bsides youll know that like every band theyre multifaceted. theyre not the same band they were but they can still write the more upbeat stuff. the bsides to the singles show that. i think they went more for coherance and overall "sound" for an album rather than just filling the album with a good mixture of the loud and quiet songs. that essentially was the reason that the track other man did go on the album. i do think its better for being the way it is and i love all the controversy its getting. its a really good album and people make it far more challenging than it is. if everyone listened to it without any expectations then they would probably like it and like the band. u dont have to like every song to like a band.

the last thing ill say is if the old stuff was so good, why did it get them nowhere and if the new stuff is so bad why did til the day do so well? (btw u have to bear in mind that for 2nd amendment they were refused airplay because of the political nature of the song and thats why it didnt do so well)
