Personally (obviously), I don't think so. And hence, our opinions may be opposite, but neither of us win.

seriously man

No but the Revs are great and stuff and did I mention the Revs are great and they don't sound the same as they used to and stuff and and.

I met the Revs in the Music Centre before and they gave out to me for smoking doob in there. Pretty uncool. Do they still look like an old ladies impression of what a cool rock star should look like?

i read in the slate years ago that the revs kicked people out of a house party for skinning up. those guys are serious anti-doob zealots. New sound is great though, new album very different, everyone should now love the revs etc etc. album cover shows the band shooting up joints.

wake me up when they sound like...

Heard an ad. for the new album on the radio earlier. Sounds an awful lot like the frames

What're your favourite old Revs' songs then? Maybe you need the album, but I can't see how anybody (especially a fan) could call those 2 songs "terrible".

well my favourite songs would be wired to the moon, hang the dj, burn your magazines and "where's the days gone"- i think that's the one i mean. the song about the hippy who became a yuppy

The self-titled thing is more of a "start again" vibe..as far as I know, a name change was contemplated for a few seconds, but you critics would just rip them to pieces that they were trying to trick you or something, Then the album was to be called 'Dammahate', but the fresh thing won over.

a start again? as what? a mediocre acoustic band.

the music there isn't fun. that's why i listened to the revs in the first place. the music was fun. wired to the mooon is a fun song, not serious, but fun. i want fun music like the chalets or opm or republic of loose, not dull boring old acoustic bands that sound the same as 99% of the rest of the stuff made in ireland

is that critic comment directed to me? i'm not a critic. i'm not involved in the music industry whatsoever. i just know what my ears like

you know what your ears like (i hope) and i know what my ears like

I hope the revs mk II are added to Mars Volta ATP.

I put the revs up for a few days in Cork a few years back, when i was "working" for Rob, around the time of the Wired to the Moon thing. They were sound lads. Could never stomach the music, but they put on a "good show" live and were great craic down the pub. The new stuff... It's all a bit TV3...

The new stuff... It's all a bit TV3...

A damning criticism if ever I heard one.

 

[RSJ]

Sorry, i got a bit worked up there. It's just something i feel very strong about.

Obviously not reacting the fact that you don't like their music, or trying to make them sound "cool" or anything, but Michael and Rory out of the band are permanantly stoned (well, a LOT of the time)..John doesn't do drugs, but he doesn't drink either.

And I disagree strongly with the Frames comparison. There is no similarity except the fact that they're Irish and (partially) influenced by Radiohead.

This is the hill:

This is the rock you're pushing up the hill:

Good luck.

That quote wasn't the best one to use with the pictures.

Come on, have you listened to the new stuff? If not, and we're on the topic of dust, be careful that the album leaves YOUUU in the dust.

It's an amazing record, no matter how much you'll want to disagree. Radiohead meets QOTSA meets Doves meets Weezer meets The Beatles. Put your past memories of them behind you. They were young, impressionable and VERY naive. They've financed the making of the new album themselves-recorded in the Cardigans' Tambourine Studio in Malmo with Franz's producers, and mixed by Danton Supple (Coldplay/Doves). They dumped their manager 2 years ago and now have a fuzzily fantastic song entitled 'Robert Stephenson'. Their sound is incredible.

They're properly brilliant now.

are you in the band by any chance?

 

[bloopitybloop]

lol omg wtf omk lmao lmfao.

No.

But, whilst on topic, the Weezer gig was amazing, and thanks for reminding me to listen to the boot again.
