Yeah, been listening it today since I got it this morning. Wasn't expecting much musically, but it really is a pile of poo. The equivalent of the latest RHCP album, where all the songs sound the same.

The last album showed they were more of a singles band, now they don't even seem to be that.

Ha, yeah, all their songs are the same - lenghty intro then talk in a rubbish accent for a few minutes. Despite how bad it is, it will no doubt get rave reviews by all the arseholes who like them because they are trendy. I bet Edith and Whiley are wetting themselves.

they were never good to me anyway, but it seems they cant keep up their momentum. they cant re-invent themselves. i predict they are going to shove themselves further up their own arses and slag off radio 1 and such even more.

on the grid.

See i'm not a fan of these bands that are re-inventing music, although The Klaxons are a band that have done something for me. They're a group that I expected the Arctic Monkeys to be when they raved on about their new album.

i'll be suprised if we get a band come along before 2010 that did what oasis did in the 90's and can still be around today. they seem a disposable commodity like boybands and girlbands were in the 90's these days.

on the grid.

I always think that the singer looks like a special needs kid. Mind you, he does talk like one too.

*is from Sheffield and sounds exatly like that* :cry:

I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor and When The Sun Goes Down were good, but they started to fall apart after that.

I've had it for nearly two weeks and it hasn't grown on me as yet its not as instant as the first one and has nothing as catchy as dancefloor. I was quite disappointed with it and have to agree with the RHCP comparison oh well i'm sure loads of ppl will still buy it as theres so much hype surrounding it.

I'm glad I never got caught up in the Arctic Monkeys tripe hype last year. They've got that sort of nouveau arrogance about them and to me represent what is really dire about living in the noughties. Needless to say, I've only heard Brianstorm from this latest outing and that was enough for me to refute any claim made by them to be surpassing themselves.

    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
    • There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1.
