anyone got his album?! its brilliant! its rare you find an album with 10 excellent songs on it.

Just thought id share that... current favs are 'out of my mind' and 'fear and rain'

Not really into the charts much because they usually full of crap. The best thing i have heard in the last month though is Bedouin Sound Clash and When The Night Feels My Song. There's a snippet here in Media. It's excellent

I have to admit that I find his single in the charts at the moment is intensely annoying, enough to make me turn the radio off after about the first three chords...

Don't know about the album, as I haven't heard it yet... Now the Foo Fighters new one, now that is class!

Each to their own I guess!

Foo Fighters do seem to consistently push out good tracks. I can't remember the last time I heard a bad one to be honest. I'm not really into my music though because i'd rather spend my dough on the construction of Weymouth's next supercar

I listen to Classic fm.
Now, where did i leave my Werther's Originals.

James Blunt a nice change from the absolute bullshit thats been around for the last few years.


indykid - 12/9/05 at 08:01 PM

can't say i mind james blunt to be honest.

the last album that i bought that i thought every track was a corker was Jay Z's Black Album

probably not to everyones taste either, but worth a listen if you like that sort of thing

Based on the single, no way I would get the album


ned - 12/9/05 at 08:28 PM

i thought the single was excellent, but having heard the album at a friends i wouldn't buy it. it all sounds the same! i know artists/bands sound the same on different tracks, but its a case of the single was good, but you won't remember any of the other traks, even if they are released imho.

my brother left a mix of songs on a cd in my van with a lot of james blunt on it ,its not a cd i would of brought but did think its was good and made a change from the other crap i listen to,,allways go back to kings of leon when im bored with whats out at the moment tho


tom_loughlin - 12/9/05 at 09:29 PM

hate to say it, but i dont mind either of his 2 released songs. chart musuc is not my cup of tea usually, but things seem to be getting better recently.

Love foo fighters, and greenday - best gig i have ever been to, since milton keynes, im a huge fan.

loving jimmy eat worlds ' bleed america' as well

The album is not a true reflection of the commercial single that is currently in the charts, though it is quite obviously his song! It's about time someone brole the massive flops that have been, are and will be X-Factor absolute SH!TE barrows! If you like this guy then you may find Daniel Powter worth listening to aswell.

@ every band/artist mentioned


Hellfire - 12/9/05 at 11:21 PM

I quite like some Metal - but I can appreciate other type's of music too it all add's to life's rich tapestry! I never heard Metallica backing being played to the floods in the USA - that's cos sometimes it's just not suitable

Whining - guess you prefer 50 Cent then Pete?


indykid - 12/9/05 at 11:28 PM

50 cent? he's been shot 9 times?

i tell you, give me 9 shots, and he won't be rapping any more

Peteff - 13/9/05 at 08:50 AM

Someone needs to get a gun instead of a peashooter. I listen to Green Day, Killers and Wheatus etc. but just now I like Gorillaz. It's like farts, everybody else's stink. The last cd I bought was Stanley Holloway monologues a couple of weeks ago with Our Albert and all the rest and it's really good.


Jasper - 13/9/05 at 09:23 AM

James Blunt - had it on the Pod for a while and deleted it - boring bolloxs - bit like all the other whingers like Damien Rice etc - give me a bit of Foo Fighters or Pendulum (now there's an excellent album).......


Wadders - 13/9/05 at 01:20 PM

Best album iv'e bought recently is Black Rebel Motorcycle Clubs, Howl, check it out, quite a departure from their usual stuff.


Jasper - 13/9/05 at 02:25 PM

I'm with you Wadders - got it playing the the shop now - saw them in Brighton a while back, excellent.
