"Ronson is king."



DavID came to this conclusion after listening to the Kaiser Chiefs' 'Never Miss A Beat'.



"You know the kids on the street, no they never miss a beat..."

Haha yes I know, in fact I am very surprised at quite how good the frist few songs were; I thought Red might be the only good song on the record, with perhaps another semi-decent track destined for second single.

Still I do have to listen to the decisive second half in order to form more accurate opinions on the LP and I will do so tomorrow (when I will rip the album to my computer for further listening).

'Red' was actually the 2nd single Ross. 'Change' was the lead release.



The only track I didn't really like on the first half of the LP was 'Cigarettes', but I know many people like its rawness & lyrics.

Ahh well I can definately see why Change would be a single, its very boppy, which is generally seen as a good thing right? For my money Impossible would also be a good shout for a single.

As for Cigarettes I liked it, although I can see why it could be offputting as it is quite different to the other tracks.

Don't judge Ronson on that shitty Kaisers record. Check out his own record, Version.

" its very boppy, which is generally seen as a good thing right?"



That was a rhetorical question I hope Ross. Haha. And 'Impossible' is indeed the 3rd single.



PhantomLimb, it's probably worth a try if you like the first 2 singles. My guess is that you will like 2 or 3 other tracks also, but the rest may put you to sleep. Worth a listen though.



So what you're saying DavID is that Ronson ruined the Kaisers...

You never know with the NFL Rudy. There's always one team that comes from nowhere and goes deep into the playoffs.



PS: Go Bills!
