Really... you trust NME??
They hardly ever think of giving a bad review, if they have a mild dislike for a band they become risiculously opinionated about them, and they overrate anything they like.

Yes i do trust the NME reviews. Ive been reading it every week since 1975. Its certainly changed over the years and lost lots of its edge but when it comes to reviews of albums its head and shoulders above owt else (imo of course). Course it gives bad reviews. Rev and the makers only got 6 for instance. This week iglu and Hartley got a slating 2/10, even the fab Bromheads jacket only got 6. Part of the fun i get reading it is the slating reviews but you got to know the reviewer to interpret it properly though.
Ive discovered more great music through the NME than just about anything other than JP himself.
Elbow have released 4 albums and everyone of them has got 9/10. The only thing you can argue about that is that the latest one should have got 10.In any case it aint the numbers that count really, you got to read the reviews to fully get the lowdown

Kings Of Leon?
Thought the first single was excellent, not heard the album though.

Yep Kings Of Leon. Both me an half2 love em. Got a big tour coming up but cant make it. Seen em before and they aint the most exciting band live but the last three albums have all been ace.

Big KOL fan, as is my son....Recent albums have been superb, and superb is a tough standard to keep up. Give it another listen tomorrow.

Had it about a month now, getting there but its not exactly doing it just yet. Seems to be a few too many fillers. Not given up on it though.

I only look at what they "deem" to be good then give it a listen missen. Couldn't give a toss what the "experts" believe I should be listening to.

Downloaded this from iTunes and have to say it's doing it for me.
Had it on a few times now and liking it more each time.

Yeah, had it on both ways to Tranmere and its a quality album. Still prefer the first two though, but they are a bit special.
