It's out of five stars Ron, i only bought it because i got sick of waiting for the new Uncut, but i have it in my hands now and feel so much better for having purchased it.

The new Uncut hasn't made it to the Capital yet.

The New Zealand Herald 2/5

This was posted by Brian in another thread. I don't buy Playboy anymore. Ok not as often as I used to.

".....the review in (ahem) Playboy this month gives the album three and a half rabbit heads (I think the max is four)).

Patsy's around today, if you're interested.

Who or what is Patsy? (i'm starting to feel like one)

Got the new Uncut on Friday, it has Queen on the cover, great read as always and the cd is'nt too bad, songs by Blood Meridian, LCD Soundsystem, Mercury Rev, The Magnetic Fields and M83 being the highlights for me.

Patrick (or Pastry, Pastie, Pasty, Pansy, Patsy ...) is the instigator of the theory, and can oft be seen peddling his wares throughout the land.

There finally is a new issue of Rolling Stone?

I bought the AU issue of Rolling Stone for the Hunter S. Thompson tribute, excellent stuff. The rest of the magazine however, made me want to puke, specifically the fashion shoot with Kings Of Leon and a bunch of loser models, just sad.

Are you sure you're not really DC today, H?

I should really read through this thread to find out what Patricks's theory is, but instead of that, i'll just ask you, Huntsman what it is.

Was there a review in Who?

:\pimp3:

No review in Who yet, but a Hookey interview.

I can confirm that Who Magazine gave it 3 and a half out of 5.

It's something about the New Order album being based on episode 7G03 of The Simpsons: Homer's Odyssey. Sounds a little crazy but I'll tell ya, Patsy really knows his Duff and it's got legs.

You will find it set forth at great length, BL, in the thread titled "WFTSC and The Odyssey."

Going there now Patrick.

Good luck, BL. Take a weapon.

Just visited afformentioned thread and holy moly Patrick, that is one serious critique of WFTSC. How on earth did you come up with such a detailed theory? Are you studying Homer's The Odyessey and The Iliad?

It wasn't just me, BL. Big also contributed a great deal.

No, I never studied either one, but the title of the album and the line "It's been ten long years since I've been home" really seemed like references to The Odyssey.

It grew from there.

Huntsman wrote:

I thought that at one time you displayed some interest in this subject, H. You kept pressing me to set forth the theory in full. Now that I have (with Big's indispensable aid), you don't care for it.

Is that any way to behave?

That's the problem with the smiley function.

I was in fact representing my disappointment at the non-inclusion of the theory after such exhaustive participation. Re-read your top post and you can perhaps view my tears with a different view point.

It's a sorry sight, isn't it?

So you're angry that I've been giving credit to Big and not mentioning you, H? Is that it?

He just wants attention, don't even offer him a goose.

another review here from the sunday herald in melbourne...

Ah that Graeme Hammond. Always spot on.

Uncharacteristically insighful for the Herald-Sun, or as I call it, the "Bogan Bugle". Nice to see the cover artfully askew in the image too. Any chance of a full size scan? CTB

sorry CTB, no scanner, that's from my digital camera & is about 90% of full size...

it's the april 3-9th edition if you can get a back copy from them.

Sain Mag and the Canberra Times did positive reviews, but they don't give scores.

I'll have to look out for the Sunday Telegraph then. So far they haven't reviewed it. Me thinks it'll be the same one.

All recent reviews have now been added. Let me know if there are any missing.

Ronaldo, if you read through the reviews you mentioned above, try and estimate what percentage the reviewer would have given had there been a score. Try and be objective and I'll include it. I've already done this with several other scoreless reviews.

:\pimp3:

Just back from Tower Records, the May 2005 Issue of Blender bestowed a 3 star review upon WFTSC. This is out of 5 stars.

Thanks!
