LimpyLoo Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 yup and some of my music friends praised the U2 thing like it was a 'savvy business move' and you could literally make the same argument for penis enlargement emails (oh god that reminds me of Pomplamoose, the 'ironic indie cover' internet spam darlings I hope their latest PR move gives everyone a bad taste in they mouth and the band fades into oblivion, right where they belong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr_Nova Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I tried to get the new U2 album legitimately via iTunes after everyone else had it forced upon them. But iTunes would not accept my password choice, so I torrented it off pirate bay. I made it through almost three songs before realizing I wasn't interested. All i remember is that the vocals were extraordinarily loud in proportion to everything else. They ought to get back in touch with Lanois/Eno.

Zephyr_Nova Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Rolling Stone's description of Syro is still by far the most offensive thing about that article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds fucking terrible - I was going to buy it until I read that. The skrillkz album reads much better imo the drop-aholic DJ made a surprisingly varied full-length packed with mind-blowing experiments with two-step, jungle, vintage techno and more.

GenghisPwn Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I didn't even think anyone took these lists seriously anymore. That being said, any albums on their I should check out?
