Christ, how did you manage to write that much bollocks without embrassing your family?

The Cribs are immense.

The Cribs are just different, and they don’t have a mainstream appeal, because they’ve distanced themselves away from the generic lyrics and music. They’re not trying to be anyone or anything but themselves, and one of their core values is individuality and originality. Just because they don’t sound like the arse sucking “oh please fuck us radio 1!” so-called indie bands these days, doesn’t mean they’re any less talented. The song is questioning the whole indie scene because many people would agree that it’s no longer indie, but a product that people can just buy into.

exactly. criticise this criticise that. jeez. music IS GOOD in most varieties – especially the stuff we’re exposed to. newman is spot on, pretentious or not.

Yeah it is stupid to get annoyed at such a small piece of writing, I just hope people arn’t putting there ideas onto the cribs rather than the other way round. They don’t make out to be what people say they are. Take with a pinch of salt, music is good in most varieties.

I find it amusing that a minireview can piss someone off.

But thanks for reading

The Cribs are average beyond belief. That there are a ton of talented and original bands who remain unsigned because they’re not “marketable”, while these soap-dodgers get every indie magazine cover going… is just typical of a music industry that claims it wants something new, when all it really wants is something identical to the last big thing.

honestly, I saw these guys on Jools Holland, and they were just amateurish in comparison to everyone else that was (ever) on the show.

alrite kelly, luis does have every right to call the song whatever he likes, but that also applies to us. I disagree that the song is trying to be revolutionary and epic, I think its everything but that. Just as Will used a nasty name for luis I think luis didn’t do the song justice. arguing over this is also pointless.

Hm, I think you’re the pretentious prick Will, Luis has every damn right to call this song out for trying to be revolutionary and epic when it’s hardly listenable. There is now need to call him nasty names for not liking a song. That’s kind of immature.

Not all reviews have to be possitive, guys. Fucking grow up.
