Absolutely, I would definitely always recommend seeing them live, to anyone.

Still don’t like the album though, unfortunately.

I went to see them live last night in Leeds and I now understand your comments. It was a fantastic gig, particularly when they hit curfew time so just went outside and carried on.

Still love the album though

I have an opinion …eventually…. I really like 9 out of the 12 (or maybe13) songs on this album. I’ve had the CD in the car for a good 6 weeks and haven’t become bored with it yet. I think that’s down to the variety within each of the songs which isn’t immediately obvious on first listen. A casual listen will lead to a memorable melody or a hook in a chorus and this album is choc full of chorus’. I think the real beauty of this album though is in the over clunky guitar in the slow song or the misplaced verse ot the very odd Rhyme (the Rio one is inspired). It’s a neat trick bringing quirkiness without interrupting the flow of the songs.

I may also have benefited from not seeing them live yet and maybe you had raised and possibly unfair expectations of for this first album.

So you miserable buggers give it another go and look on the bright side at least we’ll be able to get tickets to future gigs.

Ah. They were so nice. I hate myself a little bit for not liking this album.

I only know that because Rebecca brilliantly did the song almost solo at the secret tea shop gig at Homegame & I remember the very clever lyrics quite distinctly.

Cogstar – that black rubber duckie is brilliant.

DC – oooh, nice one. Mind you, I announced the death of Jay Farrar on a podcast recently, instead of Jay Bennett, so I am in the most delicate and brittle of glass houses as far as that is concerned.

That’s as maybe, but they didn’t listen properly. The lyrics they quote at the end of the review are not part of the song they attribute it to. It is in the hidden track at the end of the album.

The BBC liked it.

There are a lot of things I’ve done to myself over the years that have caused the Avatar to look like that Matthew.

Sadly not many are reversible.
