There's still good parts here and there, but it is borderline insulting to the audience not to edit out all the shit that comes in between and instead insist that everything they do and say is important and needs to make it to the record, needs to be heard.

No guitars = bad is bad from a band like Bon Jovi.
I like some poppier bands like The 1975, Fratellis etc who aren’t guitar driven.

Oh my god The Fratellis are fantastic. Costello Music is such a stellar album.

Yeah love the fratellis. My personal fav is eyes wide tongue tied.
I think Slow is one of the best ballads ever written.

Re 1975 I dont own any of their stuff just like a select few tracks.
