I don't like anybody covering Joy Division or The Clash, but I can't stop listening to this album.

I wanted to hate it because of the massive internet hype.

I thought with all the hype there must have been something wrong with it and was ready to trash it but...damn that's a good record.

They come across as poseur tools . . . but darnit the songs are good. I think a lesson is never bet against anything Alan Moulder is involved with.

I think 95% of the bands out there come out as poseur tools. Even our favorites.

That's a good one too. But really I only like the first five tracks.

Post by: nkotb on April 27, 2006, 10:07:00 am: I'm with you on the Kylie album, although, beyond the singles, the Annie disc didn't do anything for me.

Still, I wanted to hate this, but I'll be damned if it isn't a fairly fun album:

I could not stand everything I had heard from them before this album. Corin's voice irritated the hell out of me, but I decided to give this record a chance to see what all the fuss was about, and because I'm a Dave Friddmann fan. Her voice still bothers me sometimes, but damn - this album RAWKS!

and Arctic Monkeys for me, too. I can't deal with over-hyped artists.
