Originally posted by Mickey Way Am I the only one who thinks that Someone Like You is like something from Low-Life?Personally I don't think there's enough 'electronica' on GR. I like Crystal, SLY, Turn My Way and Close Range...the rest of it is pretty average.I hope that Lionrock fella is busy working on the backing tracks for Perfect Kiss and Sub-culture as we speak and that Hooky demands to play Dreams Never End and Age of Consent for the forthcoming festival shows.

Honestly can't picture SLY on Low-Life - I did try mate;) yer right about the 'electronica' - but I love the album the way it is - maybe they'll go back to that on the NEXT album;) As fer the live songs - YES PLEASE

GR does sound a bit different from other stuff they've done, but there are a few points in its favour:

beats the hell out of Republic
it's awfully good (comparatively) for a band that's still running this far into the game
as a whole, it's really pretty good. and it still does beat the pants off of a lot of other crap littering the airwaves/recordshops/musicmags/etc. these days.
NO have written a lot of good songs...but not a lot of good albums. which doesn't mean i don't love them to pieces...but i'd personally have to go with Low Life, Technique, and GR as probably being the best albums when taken as whole works.

...and as for the original topic, i'd have to go with anything by Laika. though my coworker puts in that he'd go with the Stooges' Funhouse.

LAIKA???!!! Jeeezus! Someone mentions LAIKA!!!! :eek: Tell me Janaki - did you refer to Laika in a good or bad context? I love their music you know.

[btw, I clicked into this thread at random cuz I thought it had something to do with Lionel Richie actually dying - oops, silly me!]

oh, definitely a good context! and i'm glad someone else here cares about Laika...err, now, do *you* mean in a good or bad context? :)

i love Laika to pieces. just so that's made clear. and i really hate that every time they play town (which isn't often, but still), it's invariably at a time i can't see them. when i first became a fan, i was too young to see them legally at places they'd play (and didn't have a fake ID, either)...and now that i'm of age, they have to go and play on Sunday nights quite late...with me having to get up at 4 in the bloody morning to go to work the Monday following. --;;;

*sigh* but i do think Laika makes for interesting dreams, honestly. what do you think? :D
