Do you forgive OR forget?

Oh, I get ya now. And I'm not even blonde! :D

does still show up every so often. Allstarz Virus. w/ Steve Osborne think. . a few soundtracks. Ready Steady Go -in Collateral but did not want to see it because simply can't stomach Tom Cruise in anything past Rainman.

Hmmm try and try again, young man. For me, this was a return to form and a return from Thom Yorke's writers block which is so obvious during the previous two albums, Kid A and Amnesiac.

It takes some work and listening, but the first track 2+2=5, for example, is the best think they have (had) done in some years.

New album due anyday now, as we speak.

Listen to Burt, Tabsy...give the CD another couple of whirls...

I still haven't had a chance to go to a Radiohead concert. But a new album will be diverting, at least!

Haven't even bought the latest Bunnymen offering yet, or the last one. Do like the older stuff though.

The Bunnymen are coming to my neck of the words in the second week of June..... I'm thinking of actually going to a concert!

PS Actually make that two concerts! Radiohead is coming to my neck of the words in late June! yay!

is it a NO fan thing? Zooropa + Pop are the only U2 albums I still play once a while, got sick of all the rest they did.

ermm ot.. forgive. Even if it's more than one awful album... one brilliant record can make up for a lot of bad ones.

Lemon Perfecto reminds me of a holiday in Goa, January 95. Mate of mine got hitched so 60 of us piled over for two weeks of debauchery. Oakenfold had just done his infamous 'Goa Mix' on the Essential Mix one month earlier and *everyone* was blasting it out on the beach. And the opening track?! Lemon.

Lemon is a quality track, love it.

For me, if a band I liked put out a bad CD, I'll normally give them atleast one more try on the next CD that they release to see if it improves or if the last release was just a fluke.

If it doesn't improve, then I'll just stick to the stuff I did like from them in the past. Then, if they release another CD I would have to hear it before I would go out and purchase it, to make sure it is something I wanted.

Ditto to that. Amnesiac is one I have a real hard time listening to. . .thier one bad album on my list. was glad Hail to the Thief came back. Like Burt said, it was return to their original form.

Old Monkey, I'm disappointed in you. Pablo Honey is a great album!!! Not sure if you listened to it after you heard the others? Listening to the progression as it happened was enjoyable.

FORGIVE. Unless it's two or more shit albums in a row.Every band/artist goes through either a bad patch or "experimental phase". Take PSB's RELEASE.Not my favourite by a long shot.Only SAMURAI IN AUTUMN hints at anything PSB's done before.It's just something they wanted to do,strip it down and go for a more guitar sound with Mr Marr. But PSB without electro just isn't PSB.Fortunately they bounced back to doing what they do best with DISCO 3. On the other hand I've given up on Radiohead and Blur,because they're too heavy going now.
