[Space Cowboy]

Surprised there wasn't a thread on these guys already.

Anyway, new album Humbug is out at the end of August.

Looking forward to it anyone?

Also, new video for the first single Crying Lightning is out.



Good song, pity about the video.

 

[Daniel Faraday]

Crying Lighting is probably the best thing they've ever done. Loving the Josh Homme influence.

 

[Lycanthrope]

I agree with Faraday. Crying Lightning is the best song I have heard from them. I'm definitely going to be getting Humbug

 

[Faris]

I think I'm going to be one of the few of you who says I like their old stuff better than their new stuff. Or rather their b-sides IE Da Frame 2R etc.

The Homme influence is compelling though.

I'd agree with you there.

But thats not to say Crying Lightning isn't a fuck awesome song.

 

[Darkly Aesthetic]

I don't think Alex Turner can release bad material.

Good song.

CAUSE ALL YOU PEOPLE ARE VAMPIRES

 

[Faris]

So Humberg only came out here like yesterday I got it today. Im really like the way this album sounds over their previous two, it seems much more mature I suppose.

Having said that I still really enjoy theyre old stuff, but this is growing on me.

 

[Space Cowboy]

Yeah, I'll agree with you there. This album is slowly growing on me, Pretty Visitors is a great track.

 

[Daniel Faraday]

Such fucking horrible lyrics. 'Yours is the only ocean I want to hang from?' Shut the fuck up Alex.

That being said, album's on my shortlist for top 10 of 09

 

[Massive Attack]

'Yours is the only ocean I want to hang from'

Hey, Alex, Chris Martin wants you for his new supergroup.

 

[Daniel Faraday]

Hey, Alex, Chris Martin wants you for his new supergroup.

No lie, that would probably be the most ironically awesome group ever.

Actually, some of the lyrics are pretty fantastic. Pretty Visitors and Crying Lightning in particular. Kind of unaccessible in a bad way, but still great.
