Viaene Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 The entire 2 disc discography of The Horrors. Got them from a friend because they do the support for Muse tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted November 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Primary Colours is supposed to be one of the best albums of the year. I like it but don't think it's THAT good. They're very post-punk, I think. More so than shoegaze which is what people like to call them. They're not very original but they're very good at being derivative and the bands they choose to be derivative of are great (Spiritualized, Bauhaus and My Bloody Valentine) Gosh I sound like a snob. Anyway it's all true, this snobbery, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 I like "Primary Colours". Even though it harks backs to 80s post-punk (reminding me of The Chameleons as much as anything else), it's actually pretty adventurous in comparison with most of their retro peers (who always tend to pillage the obvious sources), and also flies in the face of what everyone expected of them.

Levis Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 'twas hyped up for me before I got to it, leaving me disappointed. I cannot say it enough but 'I Can't Control Myself' is a rip off of Spiritualized's 'Come Together'. In any case, they're good, it's good, but I am more enamoured by Memory Tapes and more impressed by A Place To Bury Strangers - would easily put them up before The Horrors.

Levis Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 The Horrors before the The Big Pink, though. That is disappointment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viaene Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 The Horrors gave a rather progrock performance, but it wasn't done so well. Most of the time it was just some kind of bad noise mixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanTurtle Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 It's decent, but very, very derivative of Arctic Monkeys. Those were my thoughts exactly...but you beat me to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 From St Gemma's Hospice Shop on Street Lane, Roundhay, Leeds 8: "Weight" - The Rollins Band "Cleansing" - Prong £1 each Some alt.metal-head has had a right clear-out. As well as the two albums I bought, there was about 30 CDs of Pantera, Machine Head, White Zombie, Sick Of It All, Pennywise, Stuck Mojo, lots of "RoadRunner" label stuff, etc. etc. And a couple of Cyress Hill albums. I might have bought some more stuff, if I'd known where to start; not a genre I'm over-familiar with. When I'm browsing the charity shop racks and I notice that a lot of stock has obviously come from one person's collection, I can't help wondering "what happened there?". I hope, in this case, the guy didn't die. Or if he did, he came to a fitting end; reckless, involving a degree of carnage. Once, I saw the entire back catalogue of kd Lang had gone to the charity shop, and instinctively thought "Oh, dear; some girls have had a fall-out".

blind-fitter Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 And this afternoon's charity shops yielded: "Post" - Bjork (which I previously only had on cassette) £1 "Seven Songs" - 23 Skidoo (original 1982 album re-released with bonus tracks) £1 "Turn 21" - The Donnas £2 And when I got home, the postman had delivered: "21st Century Man" - Luke Haines, his new album, released earlier this week. (Limited Edition with bonus Disc 2) £8.95 Heaven knows where I'm gonna keep'em all, if we carry on like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ombre Vivante Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 I have various highlights of it, but I wanted to have it complete for improved listening pleasure (same goes for Bizet) I wanted to get Vivaldi's Orlando Furioso, but the price was too restricting (nothing over 5 or 10 bucks).

ledjam9 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Last CD I got was Backspacer by Pearl Jam. It took me a few days to appreciate any of the songs on the album. It is definitely my least favorite of theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
