Kerrang - 5/5

Q and NME have a history of hating PJ, and Kerrang has had a history to loving them.

The Times' review is brief to say the least. The only part of the article referring to the album is "songs as polemical as Unemployable and plain beautiful as Parachutes. Second only to “harmless” in the lexicon of faint praise". Less of a review, more of a sarcastic comment.

The Sun loved the album but haven't given a score. Could say they're not the most reliable source of information but at least they given a short review of most tracks and how the album flows, which is a lot more than the times ever did.

So the verdict's still out over whether the album's any good or not.

Ive been listning to the album all day and I have to say it is great. Im undecided as to just how great it is, but it certainly beats their previous two albums. Worldwide suicide is their best first single in a decade, and it is my favourite on the album. Life wasted, and come back are second favourites as it stands

its good, not brilliant. (might change after more listens though )

its better than riot act and no code imo though off initial listens

loving 'severed hand' and 'gone' at the moment, only 4 months to go :blink:

I don't have a clue why so many people rate 'No Code' as one of the worst PJ albums...it's absolutely fantastic.

It's got some absolutely brilliant tracks...'In My Tree', 'Present Tense', 'Red Mosquito', 'Lukin'....the list goes on and on....

    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band. 
    • The single worst shout for any slot on any stage in the history of efests. Worse even than the Wursels or The Wombles.    Unlikely I’d be there, but okay with the other two. Boy George is a class act, plus he could DJ in Block 9    
    • Do people want an arena experience though? Especially for sub par bands. Rather a band do more nights at an independent venue for more money than 1 big one.
