you'll get me in trouble with catherine! :roll: i'm glad someone's heard of him - i thought i'd got his name wrong or something. :lol:

[Hicksy]

i didnt know that catherine cared :o

[dave's girl]

hee hee hee - well i think she does. :lol: but nevermind.

[Invisible and Proud]

Wow, that album has been played constantly by me recently, fantastic!

When i saw the Lexus ad, i was instantly hooked, how freaky and amazing is the voice on that song? i get goose bumps every time i hear it, and the piano, woah...lol


Anyone also notice it's prime break-up music 2, all i need now is a girlfriend to break up with....

[dave's girl]

i thought the same when i heard the ad - but i went to go get the album today and nowhere had it. :cry: i need to go see him too, he's playing lpool but i don't think i can make it. argh! :cry: :cry:

[Invisible and Proud]

Nowhere had it? Booooo!

You should persevere though, definitely worth it, quality album, although don't expect any mad 2 minute garage punk songs halfway through, they're all pretty sombre.

Although did anyone else kinda get scared when they bought the vines album when "homesick" came on? i thought i'd knocked my CD player onto the radio setting! Before i bought the album i thought they only did mental rock, how (delightfully) wrong i was.....

[dave's girl]

i wasn't sure whether to get the vines or not - i love the singles, but...i dunno. is it worth it then?

[Invisible and Proud]

:shock: :shock: :shock: You don't have it? :shock:

ok enough shocks. I'd seriously reccommend buying it. Basically, the singles are just a teeny bit of what the Vines r like, it shows their raucous, rocky side, which is amazing.
But then on the album, the tracks are laid out in such a cool fashion that i defy to listen 2 it all and not think..wow

They were compared to the Beatles, which i think is a bit daft, but the interviewer was right in one aspect. Just like the beatles could sing basically any song, rock? Helter Skelter, comedy? Yellow submarine, Ob la di, ballads? Hey Jude, indian? why not! so the Vines do like this wierd change thingy, screaming for his life one minute then charming the pants off another (homesick), then going all stony-psychadellic (1969)

Its a cliche, but, it is a rollercoaster of an album, 40 odd mins flies buy.

If u like the singles, then the rest'll rock ya

P.S i don't work for NME (hehe)

[dave's girl]

thanks - i think you've done a good enough job in persuading me to buy it. :lol:

[DavidG]

I know this is like a really old thread, but I just got this album and it is like ABSOLUTELY weird but yet great!

I must get for anyone who wants something different...

If you guys go on grooveshark check out his tracks 'Ashes Over Embers' and 'The Giving Hands' from his album 'March Of The Lonely'.

He is best known for his song 'Open Heart Zoo' from the album of the same name. Also very very good, and that track was written when he was about 17. Staggering!
