New HMHB album out soon

[sojourner]

A full page review in Word magazine this month

Beyond glowing

Why? Have they not heard any of the previous albums or something?

Yeh, the Word generally love them. But this is the first full page Biscuits review I've seen since the 80s. So they've used the space to really gush

Do you think it's an album worthy of gush? Cos I don't. And I'm gutted to say that. Sure it's got some nuggets of genius, but overall it's nowhere near as good as previous albums

Saw them in Leamington week before last. 2 hour set, great stuff.

Excavating Rita

Thanks for the heads up. I hadn't heard anything about it, but I'll get it when I can.

 

[sojourner]

Fuckin hope it's better than Ambleside

 

[redsquirrel]

Eh Ambleside was great.

 

[belboid]

I did enjoy it at the time, but cant think when I last actually played it

 

[redsquirrel]

Anyone heard it yet?

 

[danny la rouge]

Anyone heard it yet?

Yes, I have it. Some great lines, as usual. The usual dark humour and observation. A funny rant about Tommy Walsh's eco house. A great lyric in the song Coroner's Footnote. And some great music, too. Actually much more polished musically, than usual. But not in a bad way. Nothing here is as laugh out loud funny as "I phone the dial-a-pizza and say that's not how I would spell Hawaiian", but there's some good vitriol about clueless indie bands.

 

[sojourner]

Eh Ambleside was great.

No it wasn't it was shite compared to previous albums. Only 2 good songs on it

 

[Balbi]

Lovely way to spend my monday.

Not long back from Sweden mate. £4:20 sounds softer on the ears than £9.50

 

[Part 2]

Seems £4.20 is a standard...same price at The Academy the other night.

 

[lizzieloo]

*like*

 

[Balbi]

Descending the Stiperstones reminds me how Nigel could read the telephone book and i'd have a listen.

 

[redsquirrel]

Excavating Rita is my favourite, but the whole album is great.

 

[Bernie Gunther]

I shot a man in Tesco, just to watch him die.

Yeah ...

Haven't heard it yet copliker, are they on form? (I thought 90 Bisodol was their best since ...Bridgwater so it's got a lot to live up to)

Haven't got it yet either. I just heard the cracking rocker opener on YT.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Westward Ho! - Massive Letdown

My granddad lives in Westward Ho

e2a: It is a bit crap though.

 

[stavros]

I got it when it was released. It hasn't knocked me out in the way 4 Lads and Bridgwater did, and doesn't seem to have many killer hooks, but there are inevitably some good lines;

Why does Mr Universe always come from Earth?

 

[stavros]

I had another listen today, and it doesn't have many sing-a-long anthems, like Tommy Walsh's Eco-House, or Joy Division Oven Gloves. It's still worth having though.
