Not that bad actually. Better than most of III anyway.

yup, yup, I approve. I was fairly enamoured with these guys when they released their first album but shortly after saw them do a truly terrible live show, which ended up turning me off their II and III records. Boy was it a bad show. I dunno if they've improved since then or if they just had an off night.

better than anything off III

Digging: Hum - Downward Is Heavenward

sounds like a return to form, thank god. :')

Song is so utterly RAD! 5/5

Digging: Queens of the Stone Age - ...Like Clockwork

Extremely good. This makes me nostalgic about old Billy Talent.

I'm glad the first album of the new trilogy sounds like I.
Still wondering what they're gonna call the next three albums, A B and C?
Anyway this really is better than most of III

Digging: The Computers - Love Triangles Hate Squares

Used to love them, but i've gone off the vocals.

Billy are back.

Digging: Radiohead - In Rainbows

Yeah this rules

thank god

@ Kent I saw them live 4 years ago and they were pretty good

Chorus is pretty damn infectious.

Pretty good, pretty good, chorus is indeed quite infectious.

Digging: Hacride - Back To Where You've Never Been

Okay they got the Metalstyles seal of approval nothing can go wrong any more

Dat bassline.

Okay they got the Metalstyles seal of approval nothing can go wrong any more

Yea III wasn't bad but it sounded rather uninspired

I don't know if I'd use "uninspired", I'd personally say they were just on cruise control.

I didn't mind III that much either, II is their strongest imo.

Yes that's what I mean by 'uninspired' lol

they didn't know what to do next so they just started dabbling in place instead of moving on like you'd expect from such a young and talented (lol) band

To me, also because they're such a young band (technically), the sound hadn't grown old yet, so there's the main reason as to why I liked III. I didn't mind them being on cruise control.

not as good as saint veronica, that song was awesome.
their best ins surrender though

@Kent: After their first album they were a terrible live band but they've really improved since.

Boring

Digging: Baths - Obsidian

Sounds like something off II, but nothing special really.

Digging: Quasimoto - Yessir Whatever

m/

Digging: Buckingham Nicks - Buckingham Nicks

Pretty good. I'm looking forward to the new record. Ian D'Sa is the man.

He indeed is.
Zero, have you heard this?

Unimpressive.

Digging: Strawberry Girls - French Ghetto

I love these guys but I hope the rest of the CD is more interesting

Digging: Bad Rabbits - American Love

That was pretty good Owantjaaaa. Definitely interesting to hear him do lead vocals. The video of him dueling brownsound wasn't too shabby either.

Is this the song where he's like "Down on your knees you don't look so tall"? Cause that ones coo.

Digging: This Will Destroy You - Young Mountain
