Sorry you didn't like it, but i disagree. At first, i only dug crystalised, intro, and islands. I did listen more, and I started to really love the songs.
And no, the album art isn't meaningful. It's just nice looking, cause it's simple. Simple can look really beautiful, and sound well too.. Sorry you don't like it.
Nice job, bro. I have to say I disagree with your side of it, I love the album, but for once, I found an album review that actually had reasoning behind it. Glad you didn't have to completely bash the band to get your point across (:
@FOBilu thanks for the comment! seems like you're the only person who understood why i didn't like the album, most people thought i was just bashing the band for no reason.
@helloitsandrew No problem. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and you expressed yours properly, not like a pompous jerk. And I checked out These New Puritans, and honestly, fantastic. Any other recommendations?
I don't mind people having a different opinion to me at all, I can even see why you would say that the music is boring, but I'd like to say on the cover that I really can't imagine that they came up with it and thought "this is so cool! Yeah! Minimalism!" I genuinely think they just didn't give a shit.
@wemorris1001 I agree :) but I still can't see what's so great about the cover - people seem to make it out to be more than it really is. as i said though i do agree that they probably had some reasoning behind it besides being different. ^_^
@helloitsandrew If I had any musical talent whatsoever (I don't) and put together an album and couldn't think of anything for the cover I would probably just leave it blank and let the hipsters go crazy at how deep I am too.
You sir, are possibly one of the biggest cunts on the circuit. You are so ugly that I would rather watch a child be brutally murdered then subsequently hung drawn and quartered and then stretched over my erect member. Your face reminds me of genocide. I'd rather listen to my own mother being brutally gang raped and facially mutilated by a group of down syndrome children. If I ever see you I WILL NOT HESITATE to tie you up throw you in the back of a van and slowly lacerate every inch of your body
@englandtim10 I laughed at this for at least ten minutes. honestly, that was complete brilliance and I admire you for your obviously fantastic sense of humour
and you are having a go at the cover?? wtf does that have to do with anything. did you look at nirvana nevermind and think '' oh shit cannot but that its for peodos''.
@chanceie12 no, you're an idiot for having a go at me for my opinion. I'm not going to lie and say that the xx are even close to how good people think they are just for your satisfaction. and YOU seem like an uneducated retard who doesn't understand the meaning of the word opinion. you can fuck off now.
@helloitsandrew you did a 1 min rant on the cover , is that what you do before you decide to buy an album , if the cover isnt good then you wont get it?
@chanceie12 no, I listened to the album first, realised that it was shit, then saw loads of people (presumably as stuck up as you) saying that the cover was some kind of meaningful 'art'. its not that, it's an X on a black background and nothing more
@chanceie12 You seem intent on commenting on every one of my videos telling me that my opinion is 'wrong'. an opinion cannot be wrong, and I'm fully entitled to dislike something if I want to. and with regard to 'showing people my music', I'll upload whatever I like to my channel thank you very much.
I don't upload things to satisfy people, especially not you.
but by all means, keep repeatedly commenting on my reviews, I don't care if it makes you look like an insolent child. :)
@helloitsandrew yeah course you do , but doing a review of it at least explain why you hate it so much .. i mean you rate monkeys LOL who have sucked since 2007.
@chanceie12 I explained in the video why I hate it so much, I even said in the video why it'd be wrong not to tell you why I hate it so much. that's you're opinion and just because I 'rate monkeys' does not make my opinion about the xx or any band any less valid.
You are an idiot. Island is one of the best songs of the decade , and least they are trying something different. you seem like a posh twat any way who will have a go at people for being different.
bro u gotta understand they made this album in some dude's basement while he was asleep so they couldn't really sing as loud and passionately as they wanted to, and also they just started to play their instruments. ur right on some parts, but c'mon at least give this album a light-6
You're actually hilarious. And right. Once they were on tv, I think it was the british music awards or whatever and they played a clip of them and it was genuinely painful listening to them! I'de like to see what you think of wasting light by the foo fighters, or/ and some radiohead music? Personally I love both bands, and I'de like to see what you think
OMG. You're so shallow! Unsubeedd! You don't understand the way the simplicity enters the mind to inter into deep and perplectuous state. The monotone is to simulate the injustices of the guilty on the young and innocent of the world and how we're all on the same level and sin. This review is wrong.
@itsryanhere you're so right. i totally didn't see that the music being painfully shit and boring was actually just a complex form of irony. i stand corrected.
@helloitsandrew If you're looking for some really amazing music then try Foals's B-sides. Dearth, Unthink This and Gold Gold Gold spring to mind, but there are quite a few more.
@helloitsandrew If you like the albums then give the B-sides a listen. I totally agree on Total Life Forever, so many gems. I loved 2 Trees. Black Gold was a good one as well.
i don't really like the xx's either, i know what you mean, their songs just need some ooomph and a kick up the arse haha xD and they are all like 1000000000 hours long and the singing just makes me want to walk away and hide in a corner :S
i think you are the type of guy who likes radiohead and coldplay.
