Evil Heat was a cool album. Riot City Blues was solid. Granted that Beautiful Future wasn't brilliant but Can't Go Back was a tune and a half.

and are you suggesting that a band celebrating the 20 year anniversary of their breakthrough album with a re-release and a tour is a bad thing? Why would they not do it.... the demand is there? plus it's a mixture of a greatest hits set and the entire of that album. Go to an ATP festival sir :)

This Friday yes? That would be incredible :)

Agree about Evil Heat - also rated Vanishing Point as well.

Maybe my problem is this replaying entire old albums thing (and this obviously doesnt just apply to Scream). Celebrating a breakthrough album it may be - demand there undoubtedly is. Still seems a cop out to me - and says more about the creativity and desire to move forward that may/ may not be present in that band. Mixing "greatest hits" in with newer material would show it and the new stuff in a different light. This seems rather like being a tribute band of themselves - just milking it for what its worth.

Just an opinion.

"Yes, and what's wrong with that? Dammit I hate that enjoyable stuff..."

enjoyable ain't the same as artistic and worthwhile is it? having a w*nk is enjoyable, but that's as far as it goes.

"Really? Last time I looked it was their album to do with what they liked. And it's surely been a while since most of those tracks were given a decent airing."

well, it's more weatherall's album than theirs, and yeah they can do what they want with it, but you know, I can think of loads of examples where bands don't always make the best decisions.

"Overreaction MUCH?"

no I genuinely don't think it is, like Bill Hicks' view of musicians who let their work be used on adverts, I say it means you have no integrity and you're more interested in cash than being taken seriously and producing good work

"Actually, you can. I went to see The Wonderstuff at my old teenage hang-out with some very old friends. It was blissful. Like a day hadn't passed."

Look in the mirror, look at miles hunt, where was the bass thing?

time passes, accept it. it's no bad thing. Remember when the wonderstuff were young and relevant (well, sort of). Do you remember how you felt about those 40 yar olds around you going to see some ropey joke band from the late 70s?

"I'm going to go and see Primal Scream with my oldest friend from '91. Regardless if the band are crap WE will have a good time."

precisely, even if the band are crap, you'll have a good time (and I genuinely hope you do) the music is incidental to the memories and your mates.

Yeah, this is pretty much what I think. It's bit like us doing exactly the same job. It's nostalgic, it's probably quite enjoyable, but ultimately it's artistically bankrupt. Pretty much any band that do loose the right to call themselves artists in my eyes.

Now I love screamadelica, was an amazing influential album for me. I got offered tickts for this and turned them down, it just don't feel right. You can't recapture your youth, let it go and enjoy the memories. Never go back....

    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
