I have listened to the Music's CD like a LOT of times, and I have to ask the burning question…WHO did this before?????? a lot of people are saying that these guys are rip off's of this and that. And this CD seems so genuine to me, that i just have to know who did this before. <BR> Now, before i get flamed and jerked around like i was 18, i just want to say that I do own over 1000 CDs and i have been going to shows collecting music for 12 years, so its not like i came right off the Blink 187 bus. <BR> <BR> I know they are like the Stone Roses, but SR never got that hard and fast. They are like old Jane's Addiction, but they never got that techy (see Getaway). <BR> <BR> The fact is, i havent heard everything thats come out, and if there is something that is instrumental like this, with a voice like this guys, and the ability to rock out hard like shit, but die off and hum like certain songs on the disc…I WANT IT!!!<P>

At least that's the impression that I got after reading the reviews. <P>The CD is a great mix of a lot of things I like about music, but the live show left alot to be desired after enjoying the CD so much.
thats amazing!!!<P> i have been hearing such the opposite. i have heard the CD smacked around and people saying to just scrap the CD and buy a ticket to see em live.<P>strange………..

After buying the first EPs and waiting patiently through all the hype for the album to see release, I was a little let down by the lack of variety in the songwriting and compositions. But live, the band's energy and the collective vibe off the audience's response to it did a lot to compensate for the lack of variety.

I think Wingelbert is referring to The Music, which put out several EPs before their album dropped. I got an import version of You Might As Well Try and Fuck Me and thought it was great. And then Take The Long Road and Walk It, and thought it was great. And then The People and though, hmmm, kind of a pattern here. And I've heard their album, and it's so samey that it kind of loses their power. That said, I've heard their live shows are great, and I'll go to this just to see that.<P>The Vines are almost the opposite. I think their disc is pretty good. It sounds pretty when it needs to be, rocks when it should rock, and comes and goes pretty quick. Live though, they're a mess. That last 9:30 show, I thought, was subpar, and the bootlegs I have of them are pretty crappy. <BR>
The live show sucked!!!!!!!! and i dont usually say that about live shows, he was just being an idiot and trying to hard to impress everyone. It just seemed to much like an act and not his instincts. We left before the encore it was that bad!!!!!!!!!!!!
When are these tickets becoming available?? price??

This is before Craig decided not to play the right chords and sing the right words, before he decided to wreck his instruments and just spazz out during performances. They weren't bad, when I heard their debut I was disappointed. Nothing new, sounded like everything else NME had hyped in the past six months. I have a friend who's a big fan of The Music, but I haven't gotten around to listening to them yet, I'm trying to stay away from anything NME has loved in the past six months that starts with "the."
