staggy4life Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I thought "Which Bitch?" was better than "Hats Off To The Buskers" too. Only gave the new album one listen but liking what I'm hearing so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForzaDundee Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Tesco don't have it in so I'm having to use Spotify. Album is quality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Other than 'Shock Horror', 'Which Bitch?' had nothing that even reached the level of semi-decent. Having a wee listen on Spotify. Only three songs in but I like it. It has a 'Hats Off...' feel to it IMO. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I also preferred Which Bitch? to the debut. Although Yoda, seeing as you namedrop Shock Horror as your favourite track from Which Bitch?, is it possible you're not particularly into this kind of music and prefer "radio friendly" tracks? Hats Off was full of them. Listened to the new album a couple of days back. I like it, it's a bit different, but I like it. Not disappointed at all, they take stick from the music polis but they really are a terrific band. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewartyMac Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I love the new album on first listen. I also preferred Which Bitch to the first one, but this one has the potential to be the best of the three. It's certainly the most consistent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my music on my iPod and computer isn't really 'radio-friendly' however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattydfc Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 What's everyone's favourite on the album so far? I'm still undecided. Well too early for me, need a good few listens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewartyMac Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 What's everyone's favourite on the album so far? "Girl" and "Blondie" are my two favourites at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattydfc Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Life had a shortened version that's been on Youtube since Which Bitch came out. They've just added on bits to the song, it's good though. Grace and Friends are my top 2 just now. If you have Spotify go to the Singles bit and get Clowns. Decent tune. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arab_joe Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I absolutely loved "Hats Off To The Buskers", but "Which Bitch?" became turgid after a couple of listens. I'm the opposite; I over listened to 'Hats Off...' so it grew a bit tiring, but I didn't instantly take to 'Which Bitch?' but it really improved with time. Gem of a Bird is up there with my favourite songs of all time. Shock Horror, Double Yellow Lines and Glass Smash are also superb, especially live. What. An. Album. Yep. It is absolutely brilliant! Happy & Beautiful are great, though Underneath the Lights and Sunday are excellent but I've been listening to them for months so less of an impact when hearing them now. Gutted I missed them in HMV on Friday night... bring on Dundee in April 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arab_joe Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Dundee's gig was the best I've ever seen The View... second best gig of my life behind Oasis in Manchester! Absolutely incredible set that lasted the best part of 2 hours. The Caird Hall is a woeful venue (no cloakroom and no booze allowed anywhere near the hall, and no bar after The View came on!) but that didn't dampen what was an incredible night. Great show. Definitely the UK's best live band! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
