Listened to the full album for the first time now - great production.

As someone else mentioned on here - no cheese on there at all which is much appreciated.

I think this is Liam's final album. What a close to a career!


I thought the production was one of the reasons it's so bad. Editing is a mess, the balance is not the best and... man I could go on.

If this is indeed his final album he's gone out with a total whimper. Sad if it ends like this.

It's tongue in cheek but it's also true - finest music comes when the artist is high - Beatles best stuff was high on everything.

Ok danny, we all get that you hate the album and last prodigy projects, but really... why people like you coming here ready to moan and "kill" liam??... One negative review is MORE than enough to understand about your opinion (that I respect)... But all these continuously posts from people like you makes me wonder how people could like the first 3 albums and not this one with great parts-tunes on it?

Cheap condescending troll deconstructed:

First, it will state a fact that sets it apart from the plebeians:
"haven't heard the album"

Add snarky, lightly condescending comment:
"it's funny"

Again, differentiates itself from the mass:
"you lot"

Condescension part two, add lesson-like comment with borderline insult:
"commit the same mistakes"

Is suddenly part of some obscure elite:
"we all know"

Some more fiery alternative facts:
"were all mediocre"

Being able to recognize this pattern can be of use to ignore shallow comments destined to cause emotional responses.


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

this is deranged. how many electronic music producers, whos best knows from 90s come today and write something totally innovative, never heard before and best their ever done. NONE. Liam got very lucky 2 times (MFTJG and FOTL) and we are lucky that he's still on it nowadays with full passion. fuk drugs, he would be out of it yesterday. fukas don't understand at all how creative mind works. people come to senses and just enjoy new music if u can. or go listen old ones. stop living in the past.
there are 1 or 2 real presents to old school fans on this new album. still not enough.

I'm patiently waiting for your track by track review (don't think that I'm joking or giving a 'cheap shot'). Sorry, had to say that part because of the paranoia and tension in this forum. But yea, hope you do it soon.

and I will do, so far I think this album might be better than the last two. If you are interested in my ratings, I have contributed to a best/worst tracks post 90's which has been recently created.

Oh by the way, I assume you address me because I "annoy" some users. I would like to see the same attitudeon your side when they try to mock me using gifs and harassing me in every post I write if I dare to write something negative. Thanks

After so many listens for like five days now... trying really hard to put aside the hype that some guys mention here.

AONO: I remember very clearly how disappointed I felt with it, because of high expectations (and correct me if I am wrong, Athens 2004 gig was their first after the reunion? And it was also my first gig!). I had some moments with 2-3 tracks but that was only because I was hungry for new material and "had" to like them because of my love for the band. I was self aware of it.

IMD: I was just happy enough that it didn't turned out a new AONO. Except Hospital (an instant classic for me) I still have 2-3 tracks still rolling in my playlists. An "ok" album comparing to the 90s legendary.

TDIME: I had expectations to be just better than IMD, nothing more. And it turned out just that. GYFO (yes I don't mind recycles if they are good), Destroy, Medicine because of Balkaν flavor, Rokweiler and WFrontier still like them a lot.

NT: After hearing LUTS I was very excited (even with the structure) but at the same time was worried if that was the best track of the album, having NS1 and FFWF in mind. Then WLF came and blew my mind. This 90s track by itself was more than enough for me to put this album above the past 3. Expectations rise up.
The vinyl comes and I listen Timebomb and No Tourists... *Liam mic-drop*... tears in my eyes. Overall all tracks except only Boom are above my "just ok" scale. Timebomb and WLF are anthems. The closest to the 90s quality. He delivers.


TL;DR: To the point. Hands down this album is the best since FOTL.
If you believe its again another IMD or TDIME and hype still hits me, then I believe nostalgia hits you.

Need some1: 5/10 not my style and weak.
Light up the sky: 8.5/10 solid good.
We live forever: 8/10 good one but after I heard time I ignored it
No Tourists: 11/10 best badass epic song like a movie soundtrack
Fight Fire With Fire: 6/10 Not my style but I like the attitude
Timebomb zone: 10/10 epic better than WLF
Champions of London: 3/10 I hate it
Boom Boom Tap: 8,5/10 I love it!
Resonate: 7/10 that weird voice ruins it
Give me a signal: 8,5/10 (for a moment I thought I was in a "higher state")

Overall easily best album since forl

Not really, I addressed you because I was honest about being interested in your review.
Regarding members clashing with you, I've said it before and deleted posts as well (GIF's and personal insults) and said more than once for this to stop. I guess the best thing is to ignore and for everyone to stop clashing with each other as I can't keep acting like a baby sitter especially since I'm the only staff member doing his job (regularly).

I can still only stream the released tracks? The rest of the album is greyed out.
