Craig Posted 1 February 2008 Posted 1 February 2008 Can't wait for this album. It's floating around the net at the moment, anyone have any ideas where it could be lurking?
Joe. Posted 1 February 2008 Posted 1 February 2008 Yeah I'm looking forward to it. I'll keep looking, I'm sure Dancing Jesus will have it on there soon. Hopefully.
Jay Posted 2 February 2008 Posted 2 February 2008 now not meaning to offend people I'm not one for falling for what I consider this over hype of bands like Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand or whatever the current flavour of the month you must listen to according to Radio 1 and the NME is but I have just listened to some song called mathletics on their myspace site and I though it was ruddy bloody good to be honest!! I might jump on the old rat race train and invest in this album when it appears if theres room on board
Joe. Posted 4 February 2008 Posted 4 February 2008 Just got hold of this bad boy. I'll let you know what it's like after I've had a listen.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 5 February 2008 Posted 5 February 2008 I haven't heard the music so it would be unfair of me to comment other than to say that they have stupid trousers and hair (which seems to be a pre-requisite of being in a band at the moment) but for those that are interested, they'll be on the next edition of the Culture Show on Saturday, which is worth watching even if you don't like Foals because Lauren Laverne presents it and she the most beautiful lady in the world ever Hold the presses! Apparently British Sea Power will also feature. Set your Sky Plus/VHS/Betamax device right now
purpleronnie Posted 5 February 2008 Posted 5 February 2008 Looking forward to it too, not too many new bands I like at the mo.
Joe. Posted 6 February 2008 Posted 6 February 2008 Hmm decent album I'd say... nothing too special or anything though. Gotta love Foals though.

That said, their haircuts are rubbish, and as Mark Kermode (studio guest) said, they do sound a bit like Gang of Four, which isn't completely unfair. The bizarrest thing about them was that the singer claimed not to be able to play an 'E' chord, seemingly because all they've ever learned to do is play these little riffs high up the guitar neck, which might make them sound a bit different to everyone else. They weren't offensively awful or anything, but it did smack of YET ANOTHER band that through no fault of their own is being built up into something MASSIVE that we'll all have forgotten about completely by the time the second album comes out
Joe. Posted 11 February 2008 Posted 11 February 2008 Balloons song. Don't stop there! At least go on their myspace and look at some others.
Sods Posted 2 March 2008 Posted 2 March 2008 Don't stop there! At least go on their myspace and look at some others. Found the album floating around its pretty good. Would go see them live but closest is Oxford and those got snapped up instantly.
Wils Posted 15 March 2008 Posted 15 March 2008 Apparently there gig in Norwich was postponed last night, hour before the doors were supposed to have opend! Not sure why though?
General Smuts Posted 15 March 2008 Posted 15 March 2008 Apparently there gig in Norwich was postponed last night, hour before the doors were supposed to have opend! Not sure why though? Inbreds. Only explanation.
purpleronnie Posted 24 March 2008 Posted 24 March 2008 Really love the song they sing a bit in french. Not sure why but the french language always sounds so cool when its sung.
Chromophobia Posted 27 March 2008 Posted 27 March 2008 I really don't get the collective spaffing over this band. I think they're awful, the kind of thing they're doing has been done so much better before, wirey angular guitars, dancey/post punk influence. The singer's got a fooking annoying voice too, and the expression on his face annoys me too for some irrational reason making it all the harder to stomach them. Just get some Les Savy Fav, seriously.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 28 March 2008 Posted 28 March 2008 Me likeey this album very much so sir. Different to current crop of indie bands, a bit more experimental, more than one dimensional sound. Cassius in particular.

Everything's been done b4. Great album.
Lovejoy Posted 31 March 2008 Posted 31 March 2008 I like the album. Got something about them which breaks away from the norm.
Joe. Posted 21 April 2010 Posted 21 April 2010 Total Life Forever It really is a peach of an album, loving it at the moment.
