I thought the Hot Chip album was one of the worst things I'd heard for a very, very long time.

I'd go for the Guillemots personally.

 

[MHS]

Editors for me.

 

[fcukcov]

they dont usually go for the one everyone thinks so they will prob go for one I havent heard of although i would prob have to say guillemots, even though i havent listened to it that much.

 

[drummindefender]

surely that would be the arctic monkeys tho fcuk though i guess editors would be second to them

I would say 6 quid is quite a cutting form the orginal price. Bleedin tight now your an honourary scot aint ya.

'Cuttings' is an extra CD you get with The Back Room,some of the tracks on it in particular 'Let Your Good Your Heart Lead You Home' are stronger than on the album..IMO

Ive had the album for a while, struggled to get into as much as some though tbh. Might take a few more listens for me i think.

Just bought that..Guillemots that is

Didn't know what it was until I read the rest of the thread, but I don't think so from memory.

I didn't actually buy it.
