Stereophonics New cd - any comments yet?
 

I don't have the cd, but I downloaded the song Maybe Tomorrow... and it is Excellent...

Just wondering if anyone else has this song and/or the cd?

What are your opinions?

I've got it - it's much better than their previous album (Just Enough Education To Perform) but it's all a bit Led Zepellin-y at times, not that that's necessarily a bad thing.

Best track for me is 'Since I Told You It's Over'.

my girlfriends got it and i don't like it. some of the stuffs quite good but the production on it's balls, kelly should stick to the writing and let the engineer and a real producer do their job.

I've read reviews that say it isnt as good as Just enough education to perform. I havent got it and judging by the first 2 singles i wont be getting it.

considering it's came from the guys that wrote local boy in the photograph and t shirt suntan ur just left thinking wheres the chorus and hook.

the stereophonics now is really just an excuse for kelly jones to record and release crap.

i noticed he's the sole songwritier now whereas before cable and jones(bassist) got credits.

i thought this was for money's sake with regards to them not fallign out over royalties but if they did actually write anything before i suggest they start helping out again cos theyve got to the stage where they would never be signed if they weren't already.

BOught the cd..
 

BOught the cd, its good, not a classic, but I'm glad I bought it, very heartfelt... emotional....

It ISNT as good? Not on my shopping list then :shock: I bought JEEP after a mate recommended it to me, what a waste of £12 :(

Daleo

I like JEEP, it has some good songs. But yeah reviews from Q and radio 1 werent too good.

Someone got me it for my birthday. Its not a patch on their first two albums, and i find it a bit too mellow for my liking. There are a couple of decents songs on there though. Im going to see them in November so im hoping they dont play too many songs of this album

not impressed with there current single its dire!. There older stuff is good but this new album sounds awful :?

bounce ive seen the phonics live 3 times and not once have i been impressed so i wouldnt build ur hopes up.

they're ok but at times it's just them going thru the motions and preaching to the cnverted so they don't need to put in the effort. i seen them not long after they got the new guitarist and keyboard player the new guitarist was hitting bum notes all nite on easy songs and even in the middle of solo's
was actually quite embarrasing.

Aloha !

I like their new single Maybe Tomorrow very much. Just like the older singles Mr. Writer and Have A Nice Day did, which made me got to know them. I heard more people complaining about their performance during their show as being a support act for Bon Jovi, I only saw a promotion gig at TV for their Just Enough Education To Perform album, and yes, I thought they were bad too. Though last weekend MTV Holland showed their performance from Rock Am Ring , and I have to say, I was impressed. They were a lot better and were really a band during that show. I might have a listen to their CD.

it seems like to me that there albums are getting worse instead of better. I first bought Performance and Cocktails and to this day it remains as my fave non BJ cd. I then bought word gets around, its a class album, but it never reached the heights of P&C though. JEEP IMO was a very poor album and the new one, which i have only downloaded so far, not actually bought becoz of money problems, but it seems to accousticy for my liking. Why are they insisting on this? What hapepened to song like those on P&C? They rocked and now theyre all slow and boring. I like em fast and upbeat. This album to me...just isnt. I dont like it.

Word Gets Around was their first album, not their second.

i know, i never said that it wasnt their first album. I just mentioned the order that i purchased them. Sorry, wasnt meant to be confusing :wink: :P
