Saw them tonight and wasn't sure what to expect after v mixed reviews on here. 

 

The show was fantastic. How people on here found it boring - I don't know if we were watching the same band!! 

 

Solid headliners for the summer.

In fairness I think people's opinions of them live were from when they headlined in 2010. It was one of their first big shows in the current live format and whilst I (and others) enjoyed the way it was done, I can see why it didn't translate to everyone.

Think those issues are well and truly gone now though. They were a lot smoother as a show by the autumn of 2010, let alone now. 

 

 They were great in Margate in June and imagine they'll smash Boomtown. I think if they came back and did the Other Stage headliners they would go down very well too.

Tuesday night was a lot of fun. Sex Murder Party is one of the most bizarre songs I've ever seen live. I loved Strobelight and there were some awesome moments from the Demon Dayz songs. Great way to finish off a year of gigs. 

[RossTC]

Feel pretty short changed now from the set i saw in Brum on sat to the two O2 gigs!! Brilliant all the same but fuck me they got it good in London!!

New album coming next year apparently.

[Ammonite]

Enjoyed the 2010 set, remember that they were stand ins for U2 so prep time wasn't great.

Topped off a perfect sunny Friday. Probably helped I was familiar with the Plastic Beach album though, which the set mainly was

[Mash011]

Wow that 2018 album is going to be the least anticipated follow up ever.

[Odessa]

I wonder if it'll be a "proper" album or something along the lines of The Fall. My guess is the latter.

[Hugh Jass]

Is it all the good songs they left off Humanz?

[FloorFiller]

New album The Now Now announced for June 29th. Wonder if it was always the plan to release an album this fast or if this is a quick move to make up for how shite Humanz was?

I imagine it'll be all the stuff left on the cutting room floor after Humanz.

[Winslow Leach]

No album that gave us that Popcaan track can be truly bad

Humanz one of the most disappointing records in recent memory. A garbage fire.

Two new songs:

Humility

Lake Zurich
https://dbr.ee/AWh6

 

Really like both of those and I'm now 100% more excited for this new album.

Yeah, more groove in these two than the whole of Humanz. If the core band is the same, then maybe they've all gelled a bit more.

The strong live showing on the last tour was always promising. Come on Damon, you've got another chance, don't disappoint again, you won't get the benefit of the doubt again!

 

EDIT: Is it possible to download those or are they stream only?

Download button bottom right.

Like both of them, but Lake Zurich is ace

[Mash011]

Humility is good, cba with Lake Zurich tho. Remain unconvinced that we're going to see anything all that special from this release but would love to be wrong 

[Tommy101]

These new tracks are now making me look forward to the party at Boomtown even more.

[Winslow Leach]

Ascension, Strobelight and Saturnz Barz all bang harder than those songs

[Badlands]

Yup, just been playing Humanz again and still convinced it's underrated on here. It's probably too long and the skits are just filler but there's still plenty to get excited about. I prefer it to their debut, certainly prefer it to The Fall.
