Glasvegas: crap/not crap

[chazegee]

I have a few words of praise for Glasvegas. They aren't as boring as Coldplay. Unfortunately that's about the most complimentary I can be without lying.

Couldn't say it better.

Still sounding shite on Later with Jools

Thought they were good on Jools.

So you both perceive little change there?

are you kidding me on? they were appalling on jools embarrasingly awful. The Bravery bad.
and they didn't used to be.
as this man says

They have a couple of good songs, other than that they are pish. Geraldine and Daddys Gone are decent songs.

Geraldine is fantastic - the rest, not so much.

 

[skyscraper101]

Geraldine is a formula track in the worst sense of the term. The whole album is awash with cliché pseudo-epic reverb thanks to Rich Costey's production which does nothing but hide the fact that nearly every song is distinctly average.

The new album is much the same, only now it's produced by Flood who has toned down the epiiiiiic reverb and seems to be trying to make them sound more like the Killers (who incidentally he's also produced). I mean has anyone actually listened to the single 'Euphoria, Take My Hand' - it's like someone said "ok guys we need to create a chart friendly tack which loosely follows the pattern of 'All These Things That I've Done' but we'll change the chords around so it's less obvious. Oh, and you up front, yeah we need to get you a flexi disco rope light to replace your mic cable with. That'd be coooool for your image"

Utter toss.

 

[ouchmonkey]

I'd agree with you almost completely there, but I played Geraldine again and it still gets me.
I put the slight U2 aftertaste out of my mind.

The first album was OK, the second one is dreadful toss

 

[Mandyque]

Dull dull dull. Caught the end of their set at Leeds festival while I was waiting for the next band and I felt like cutting my wrists. He's gone he's gone he's gone he's gone wahhhhh! Saying that, there was a lot of love in the place for them, I guess they're just one of those bands.

 

[Sgt Howie]

Absolute fucking toilet. Worst band I've heard in the last 10 years.

Don't understand why some people are defending the first album. It's overblown shite from start to finish.
