this is that band with the fat lesbian singer as a unique selling point, but their album "standing in the way of control" really is very good. anyone else got it?

well impressed.

Have you seen the album cover?

It's such a pathetic attempt at a weak political statement that it's fucking laughable.

I like them too  Cool Beth Ditto has an amazing voice.Haven't got the album yet though.
The fact that Leggett dislikes them just confirms they are a good band Tongue

Tried this today. The lead singer has a very strong and pleasant voice. The first couple of tracks sounded promising, but I felt that the songs overall were pretty weak. The album as a whole sounded like 'pub rock' demos to me. However, this was all on first listening. Will give it another try at some point.

NMH

P.S. Trying the following now:
Muse - Black Holes & Revalations
(First listen to 1st track - Sounds like Queen- NOT GOOD !  :evil: )
Bloc Party - A Weekend In The City
(Tried 1st 2 tracks. Not as good  as Silent Alarm so far)
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Some Loud Thunder
(Not impressed with title track)
Cooper Temple Clause - Make This Your Own
(Not heard enough to have an opinion yet)
The Good The Bad & The Queen - The Good The Bad & The Queen
(Not a Daman Alban fan. Sounds a bit better on 2nd listen)

I haven't got the clap your hands say yeah album (I like satan says dance though) but all those others are great albums. Cooper temple clause's new stuff is up there with the first album.

Just listening for the first time. I like the bassline on Satan Says Dance very much but am not keen on the abstract sounds added to the track. Also, the singer's voice is bloody awful !

I'm afraid I can't see this album getting much airtime near me !
