Some people shouldn't be allowed to 'blog'.

apart from the blogger, who's an idiot, I think they're pretty fair reviews.

That's fucked on so many levels, not least because the blue-tones are hardly some sort of contemporary yard-stick, correct me if I'm wrong but they have done little since the mid-nineties? But sure blogs is blogs and anything and everything gets written on 'em

two great but underrated English guitar-pop bands who had their commercial peak in the mid-1990s... I don't see what the problem is Wink

acts similar to The Boo Radleys, according to Last.fm:

The Bluetones were never what you'd ever call challenging, of course

That blokes a fucking knobhead. What a wanker. A bit like the fucking Bluetones??

Now I don't mind The Bluetones in a vaguely diverting jangly sort of way but you may as well say Iron Maiden are a bit like Cliff Richard such is the difference.

Shit like this my blood boil.

Incidentally I agree with most of the reviews of Balance.

In a nutshell: nice tunes needs more edge.

I have to stick up for the Bluetones! They have had some great albums and songs since then! 'Luxembourg' for example - great album, and 'Science and Nature', their best album I think (from 2002?)

That is all! Wink

If you're too young to remember The Boo Radleys, they were a bit like The Bluetones. Who you won't remember either. Basically you're looking at Britpop without the unique selling point that made other bands such as Blur so huge. The tunes are upbeat, melodic and above all "nice".


I think you're all taking the "a bit like The Bluetones" part out of context. I think it's more to do with him trying to make the point that both bands released singles of a 'feelgood' nature, but didn't have anything gimmicky about them that the tabloids/NME (et al) could latch onto to use as a selling point.

why is everyone talking about The Bluetones, anyway? I thought this was a thread for the new Paperlung album

Confused

Ok. The Paperlung album is too balanced.
