Sounds like there are some interesting sounds on this one. Hope they've been a tad self-indulgent.

Same here.

We mostly loved it there, people mostly did not love it so much here. Odd.

This x 1000.

I never understand the comparisons they make. I don't mean in a better / worse sense - just that I can't hear the similarities at all. Perhaps there are musical ones that I'm not wholly spotting (as pointed out, James' vocal does have a similar delivery on it to THB era stuff on EGDM, as also does Nina Hoss, oddly enough), but the actual production / execution bears zero similarity to me.

I'm very excited for Futurology, though - which I wasn't for Postcards and Rewind. I much prefer the Manics when they're being experimental and a wee bit bonkers. I also like keyboard sounds, much more than the played out guitars-meet-strings schtuff.

Band themselves can hear similarities between their own tracks that not all fans can shock.

Ooh, reply with unnecessary snark shock.

That said, I actually WOULD like to know the similarities. I don't mean this in a remotely 'show me mofo' way, I'd just actually like to know what they are, being that I have zero musical ability and am limited to what my wee-ears can sense. I'm guessing there are peeps lurking here who may be able to illuminate...

Wasn't meant as snarky, or directed specifically at you.

Personally I think the verses of WMTTB sound quite THB-y, but people seem to think saying something sounds 'like' something means it sounds identical to, which I don't really get. It doesn't really matter though does it? I guess the guitar bends in EGDM are a little THB-y in places too.

But my point was it seems daft for people *cough*Donkey!*cough* to act as if because they can't hear a similarity of any kind then band who wrote and recorded the material themselves must be wrong, or crazy, or whatever.

Of course EGDM sounds nothing like what they claim it to. Nothing ever does. Whether it's deceit or wishful thinking, only they know.

What EGDM actually sounds like is Kasabain-lite. And the new Kasabian album already has that market sewn up.

Wasn’t INW(JTEOL) meant to be “Heavy Metal Tamla Mowtown” rather than Breakfast TV Theme Tune?

I get the THB comparisons. There are loads of jagged post punk rhythms by the sounds of it + don't forget that Empires and Dance influenced bits of The Holy Bible (I think James gave the band copies to listen to whilst they were recording.) Thirty Frames A Second = Mausoleum...

Can't believe they included that. It goes against every lyric Nicky has ever written.
