What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



Rock or Alternative. could go either way for me. At what point do you cross the line? Next up in my e-o-y purchases. I have only heard their two previous efforts. Of the three, this is the best for me. The opening track did it for me. Clip is from a Today show appearance where unfortunately they think it's as important to show the Today show audience than the band. My favorite track on here. The first single off of here was Radioactive, which was ok, but certainly not the best for me. Next single I think is Pyro, still not the best on here, as 6 tracks go a love rating. Label strategy has worked though, as the album has topped the charts globaly, except for a #2 in the U.S.. Wiki says the album is the 11th best selling album of 2010 in the U.K. (woder where they got that stat?), and it came in at #18 on Rolling Stones best of the year. So the praise is out there for these guys. Think they're at the top of their game with this album. Hope they don't blow it. Stay away from them interviews that make you look like teen-agers. It's.......uh...........unbecoming a band of your stature. Excellent live clip (Jools of course) on track 7.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Beach Side

Best Track - The End

Running with the street lights
Laughing at the grave
He swears he's gonna give it up
It's never gonna be enough
I just wanna be there
When you're all alone
Thinking about a better day
When you had it in your bones
This could be the end
This could be the end
This could be the end
This could be the end
I see you in the evening
Sitting on your throne
You're playing with a fireball
And post it up against the wall
I just wanna hold you
Take you by your hand
And tell you that you're good enough
And tell you that it's gonna be tough
This could be the end
This could be the end
This could be the end
This could be the end
'Cause I ain't got a home
Running from the streetlights
Shining on her grave
Once you had the good stuff
Never gonna fill you up
I wanna be the one who
Gives them my world
And gives them all the feeling of it
Just a little taste of it
This could be the end
This could be the end
This could be the end
This could be the end
'Cause I ain't got a home
I'll forever roam
No, I ain't got a home
I'll forever roam
'Cause I ain't got a home
I'll forever roam
No, I ain't got a home
I'll forever roam
I ain't got a home
