I heard anew song by Paul called "Get Enough". I don't know if it was on a special edition of Egypt Station or not, but I just found it. Dear God he's using auto tune!! Why Paul why?? I think it sums up why I don't like his new album, he's trying waaaaay too hard to be relevant and modern. Link to ...

Predictably, the hype for the album (and band) has significantly dropped since it was released. Zero promotion, just announcements for shows. Just like post-Humanz and post-The Now Now. Same tactics used for this album yet Damon retains the same management. Despicable.

I'm glad he's finally starting to embrace the grey hair.

The decisions their management make really boggle the mind. The worst thing? The band either don't realise or don't care.

Turned the TV on the other day and stumbled upon The Force Awakens which I decided to watch again. Obvious similarities to A New Hope but an excellent movie from start to finish. And importantly, it FELT like Star Wars. Very good. It also made me hate The Last Jedi even more.

I'll be honest, I haven't even heard the album. Fuh You put me right off. But if you say the rest is better than that I may finally give it a listen.

So what was this? I had a look at the site and the majority of questions asked were dire. Not related to the band at all. Fake?

I didn't look at any of the prices at the time of release but that is ridiculous. You should be able to put a complaint in and get some money back. Ludicrous!

Thanks!

This should be in MIMR so I’ve moved it here.

Don’t like Smiley Smile that much. Pretty weak compared to the Smile Sessions, in my opinion at least. The sessions box set is how the album would have sounded and the differences are huge, especially Vega-Tables and Wonderful. Completely different.

Boots.

I saw your posts in the Beatles Thread and wanted to jump in here. I think Pet Sounds is a great album. That said...I think Smile would have eclipsed it massively if it had been released at the time as Brian had intended. I was listening to The Smile Sessions box set th other day (on repeat!!) and m...

Loving the new look!! And much easier to use on my iPhone. Thanks Veikko!!

Not quite sure how it could age terribly. The production is spot on, certainly better than the debut.
