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....

    • So, that Survation poll...Reform have replaced the Tories as the main right party, and Restore are where Reform used to be as the fringe extreme right party gaining support. Grim. What happened to one nation liberal tories?
