Oh boy...

Listening to this now and honestly, 'Stalemate' has been my favorite track so far.

Well that was...bad...

They should stop trying to be political and experimental

More afternoon second stage UK festival songs to chant the chorus along to.

Cmon guys, give them some credit.

"Warm Smiles...", about 3 minutes in, kicks in with some of the most spectacular music I've ever heard in my life.

This is not that bad at all. You guys just want to hate this band.

a few good tracks
a few average tracks
and a couple awful tracks
so average overall

Sounds like a bunch of shit, but Warm Smiles (etc etc) is actually pretty good.

A couple of questionable songs, but overall an awesome record

It's not even as good as their other two albums
It's getting really good reviews, what a surprise

I'm used to laugh at this band. But this record surprised me. Actually pretty good.

why do users with less than 1000 comments always like weird stuff?

This is baaaaaaaaad..

I'm really sad and disappointed

stop wanting to hate them so badly. I enjoyed this. A few iffy songs, but otherwise pretty damn good

yeah, it would be impossible to simply not like this album, you have to want to hate them

No-one wants to hate them. Many people who dislike this album actually enjoyed their first two

i wouldn't say "no one"

they need more sorry youre not a winner songs

Some of you really make this album look worse than it truly is

Is everyone seeing double digs sometimes or is it just me?

youre just high bro

everyone is

alcohol does that

I like some of it

Its pretty good

yeah it is, but hating on Enter Shikari is cool

Is everyone seeing double digs sometimes or is it just me?

Exit Shikari

I would enter shikara

YABBA DABBA DOO!

Band has always been a shit sandwich

no.

band keeps getting better IMO i can't stand their first CD which is apparently the fan favourite, listened to half of this so far but really like what i'm hearing

...i dont get it.

to be honest I'm listening to it now and I don't hate it as much as I expected

Love their debut, thought their second okay, and i really don't like this.

i'm double digging sometimes
i'm double digging sometimes

only ever had one good song

this blows

sssnakepit was bad. the first two tracks were actually good. i do wish he'd stop his political ranting.

i do like this so far though

Why are people saying Warm Smiles is good? It's average at best. Just because it isn't as annoying as the rest of their songs doesn't mean it's good.

when the electronics come in in gandhi mate gandhi made me laugh. how can i take the speech beforehand seriously when that thing comes in just after?

Meaningless, horrendously ignorant record. The singer is very odd, yet somehow extremely boring. The instrumentation is bland & lifeless for the most part.

If I had to find a saving grace for this record, that'd be tough - damn near impossible. This band is devoid of talent & creativity. One of the worst bands out there right now. Stay away for your own good.

Album Rating: 0/5

Not THAT bad, man.

2.5 at most

Please tell me it's better than Snakepit, Ghandi mate, and the other single..
I'm not expecting much and I was a big fan of Take to the Skies

Warm Smiles is easily the best thing this band has created. Rest of the record tears shit up too. 4.5/5.

Better than Common Dreads.

Oh god I'm actually really enjoying Arguing With Thermometers and Ghandi Mate now. I hated them at first. Snakepit still blows cocks though

I like meltdown and the riff in warm smiles

You people are so negative. This album was excellent. Stop trying to find flaws. Honestly I don't give a shit what you Sputnik know at alls think...This album fucking ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To imagine I enjoyed this band once.

I've only listened through it once and on first impression I quite enjoyed it. Probably a 3.5 which will either go up or down on subsequent listens.

@SteeleShikari probably never to make a comment again.

Definetely not as good as either of their last albums, imo. It's just too unspectacular. Arguing with thermometers is pretty damn good though and easily my fave of the bunch.

@Rowan5215 um, fuck no.

ya clap claps are best thing this bands evar done

i honestly dont get why this bands gets that much hate. TTTS wasnt my favourite 3-4 good tracks, i have only got juggernauts from Common Dreads, but on the first few listens i think this album is really good.
and really they arent bad, they are more successful than most of you haters.

Oh god don't pull the "they're making more money so they're better than you" card

Oh god don't pull the "they're making more money so they're better than you" card [2] Agreed

If record sales equaled quality Lil Wayne would be this generations Beethoven

i didnt mean it like that, they are composing music and have a very large fan base. is what i meant, its not about money.

mmx is 100 percent correct

did you really make an account just to defend this at best average album?

Again Lil Wayne composes music (I guess) and has a very large fanbase

Pretty awesome.

look, i hate lil wayne as much as you guys, he probably doesnt even write his stuff, but i just think these guys get more hate than they deserve.

and no i didnt just make this account just for that Trebor17, i just found this site today, and thought it was worth making an account for.

Lil Wayne writes all of his stuff man
The dude is a serious workaholic

schoonda I think you completely missed the point

probably :/

Listened to a couple songs. Pretty awful.

Doesn't matter how hard Lil Wayne works when he is terrible at what he does.

True dat Spec

my mate loves that guy, he doesnt listen to anything without rapping in it, he has no range of music, its horrible...

My mood swings too often to confine myself to one type of music.

i kind of stay with the rock genres, i tend to stay away from pop and hip hop, but thats mainly because i find the songs and lyrics too samey and dull. but i do like young wild and free by snoop dogg ahaha

HEY COOL SCHOONDA NO ONE FKN CARES!

album is ok, gave it 2 listens today. skipped a few songs

"My mood swings too often to confine myself to one type of music."
Yeah I'm getting that more and more

album is ok, gave it 2 listens today. skipped a few songs

YEA

Snakepit turns out to be by far the worst track on here

I see the elitist douchebags are out in full force again, anyone wanna bet they never actually listened to the album before spewing their bile all over the comment section?

I don't need to listen to their new album to know that they've got a history of sucking dick.

"Doesn't matter how hard Lil Wayne works when he is terrible at what he does."

the funniest part is that ur dumb and you don't know what you're talking about.

EDIT: Yup. Checked your profile out and I was right.

anyway, this is whateve

Wish this was better. But happy that its not as wretched as i thought it'd be.

This will be awesome!

When they just get down to it they can still create a catchy chorus or verse but it all gets undone by smelly breakdowns or OTT synths.

If Rou toned it down a bit they might make a song that was decent all the way through again.

i already hate you scoot

There's just way too much political bitching on this. When I saw them live back in December, half the show was him making speeches about "revolution." Add to the fact that their songwriting (hey let's have random dubstep parts in every other song, yaaaay) is somewhat lazy, and you get a thoroughly average band.

I'm not hating just for the sake of it, I want to like this band, because I usually like electronicore bands, but these guys just don't do it for me.

This album is just a big mash-up of shit people can dance to.

And its fucking awesome. See them live.

the "dubstep breakdown" for lack of a better term in the 2nd song is insane live.

Yeah theyre good live

i have to agree. i don't plan on giving this album any more play, and whenever i see them live i always anticipate the clap clap song

The "political bitching" is what makes them unique. Otherwise they'd just be any other old band who mixes metalcore with synths and electronics. Add in Rou's strong lyrics and a lot of talent and uniqueness and you have Enter Shikari. I don't really give a fuck what you think.

^ Why would you post what you think on an open forum for everyone to read and formulate an opinion about, if you don't care what people think about said thought? ^

Irony?

Wow this sucked a fat ass......

No, I don't care what they think about the MUSIC, the thought is a different matter...
But a lot of Sputnik are trolls, no offense, so it doesn't matter that much.

^ But your thought was about the music, so what you just said made absolutely no sense. ^
