As it's a year since the Park gig, it seemed appropriate to post this up and share its story. I was lucky enough to get the setlist at the end, which really put the cherry on top of what was alre

Basically, Hot Chip should be headlining the Pyramid and anyone who doesn't like that should be put on some sort of register and looked upon unfavourably come next T Day.  It'll be for the best.

New album is good, obviously need a few more listens, but initial reaction is that I’m moving more towards Chems for Saturday night. 

 

this is a review with a real sting in its tail.

New album has convinced me I'll be buying a ticket when they announce their Manchester date, but has done nothing to sway me away from The Chems. 

Disclaimer: I was always 100% seeing The Chems.

It will be a great party up at The Park! I just wish it was on Sunday night. 

Yep, it’s a real shame they clash.

I love Hot Chip, their WH set in 2015 remains the best thing I’ve seen on the farm, but Chems have dropped the AOTY, no contest.

Really wanted to see my first Park headliner, but I’ll wait and see them at Ally Pally instead.

Hot Chip's current setlists/running order looking remarkably similar to when they headlined WH (but with a stellar cover dropped for an inferior one).

Now the album is out, I'm expecting a lot more of it to come into the setlist. Their Facebook post from earlier today suggests so as well. They clearly didn't wanna play festival sets to casual audiences with 4 or 5 unreleased songs in, which is fair enough.

Had one listen to the album at midnight and thought it sounded really good. Melody Of Love finally clicked for me as well, after finding it kinda so-so for the last few weeks. Excited to give it all another listen later.

New album is great, but personally (and this may just be the salty side of me due to having to miss them) I don't think it's quite as good as their last few releases on my first few listens through. Obviously that's primed to change with more listens, but right now I'm happy with my Chemical Brothers decision even though I know this will still be an absolute party.

No I don't think it is as strong as Why Make Sense but still a decent 7/10 effort for me. Couple of stonewall bangers on it though.

I am still torn on the Saturday night. It is difficult for me to imagine that I would actually miss a Hot Chip gig. Yet most of my group will be watching the Chems, I have not seen them in over 20 years and I will be watching Hot Chip do a longer set at Bluedot in a couple of weeks anyway. Yet I am still can decide one way or other.

I've never liked Hot Chip albums particularly. I think most of their singles are completely amazing though, I really like Hungry Child and Spell.  However I don't think this is their best work. I'm still excited about seeing them next Saturday.

This. Every record barring the début is killer singles, plus filler. Live shows this year have been a bit saggy as well. (Sabotage especially.)

Was at the Megamix thing at XOYO tonight. Was great fun. Played quite a few Hot Chip songs and quite a lot of absolute bangers including Controversy (Prince) and Hung Up (Madonna).

Not to change the subject too much but Hung Up is absolutely brilliant in a club setting.

I couldn't disagree more. Rarely more than one duff song per album for my money.

I've not yet listened to the new record - what if it's brilliant? I've already decided I'm seeing the Chemicals!

I listened to the new album yesterday and think it's decent but it will be a grower for me - and I doubt it will have grown by next Saturday enough to persuade me to see them (mainly because as good as I reckon it will be, I can't see it topping the Village Underground gig in April). Was leaning Chems as I think the new album is decent but now being quite heavily tempted towards Daniel Avery in Pangaea as a bit of a curveball! Is it completely mad to think we could see beginning of Chems and wander over? Probably.

      I wasn’t slagging Scooter off, they are undeniably silly. As I said, they are the definition of a meme booking for Download. People requested them for years because it was silly.

      Having done all three, Porto is lovely, very chilled but nowhere near as exciting as Barcelona (nor as many options). Bilbao BBK has charm but again not a patch on Barcelona really.   ps and the beer was 5.50, not 5, last year 😉

      Honest question and with the risk of getting slaughtered, do you feel people should stop the chatting on the entire field? When my group is in the front rows we surely keep the talking to a minimum and largely only about how great or bad the artist is. But surely on the main field when you are further back (lets say around the bars (200 meters from the podium) you should be able to have a conversation. If people are still annoyed about that I would recommend them moving up further.

      I just genuinely think they don't understand technology and its felt like this since the invention of the internet.   Also see say a speech on a Monday saying we want to be a world leader in "this thing" then on a Wednesday another speech saying "this thing" is bad and needs to be banned/regulated out of existance.
