We can only hope. Did you guys like Intimacy as much as me? That album was unfairly flamed imo.

Intimacy is their best, imo.



I've never experienced the same feeling again the first time I heard it with another album.

Couldn't quite dig Intimacy as much as the first two but it's still a 4 for me.

@ clercqie - they're almost done recording so yeah almost positive the new LP will be out this year

This has just reminded me that I still haven't heard Intimacy... even though I enjoyed these two.

This really conveys what it's like to live in the suburbs of London

Yeah, or any big city really.

There was a sense of disappointment, as we left the mall.
All the young people looked the same.

Great CD and a great band.

This or Silent Alarm? I get the sense that this is almost criminally underrated. This is a really, really good cd.

Silent Alarm is great but the lyrics on this one feel like they have much more weight and substance.

"I was an ordinary man, with ordinary desires.
I watched tv, it informed me."

"Drink to forget your blues on the weekend,
think about more things to buy."

"I could have been a hero."

I loved Silent Alarm, but it almost feels like a feel good album when compared to this. This album just "clicked" a few
weeks ago and I am really digging the hell out of this right now.
