Shoot, they sound like....
I just bought a whole lotta new albums.
Depeche Mode, Editors, Ryan Adams, The Bravery, Smashing Pumpkins, The Fray, Starsailor...
Depeche Mode's Playing The Angel sounds like the old Depeche Mode (not speak and spell era, more exciter stylee). Which if fine by me.
Ryan Adams is still sounding tortured and brilliantly so in his latest album, Easy Tiger.
On The Outside by Starsailor is nowhere near what they are capable of. Sorry kittyStar, I know you do like them but what do you think of this album?
The Bravery's follow up to their powerful debut called The Sun And The Moon is meek. I think they have fallen by the wayside compared to The Killers' second album.
The Fray is US version of Coldplay? Compliment lah.
Smashing Pumpkins....Zeitgeist. So sad.
And current fave Brit band, Editors are starting to sound like, gasps, Snow Patrol. Thank god for Tom Smith's vocals which are vastly different from Gary Lightbody. And this album sounds a whole lot more dismal and dark compared to their debut album. I think it's going to be on heavy rotation. noteworthy too is that they have shed that "joy division" sound.

Are you disappointed with Zeitgeist ? I made it a point earlier on to not expect too much from it.. :)
it sounds a lot more hollow and when it rocks, it's a lot more mellow. and the "quiet/loud" thing that they used to do so well, that's lost. good or bad. not sure.
Hmmm... let me get back u on this one. Have not checked out Ryan Adam's latest album. I kindna got very disappointed with Smashing Pumpkins after the whole Mellon-Collie episode... sigh...
But if u are wondering what I am currently listening to now... Interpol's Our Love to Admire.
FAN-TASTIC!
