Had their album "Lost in the Dream" downloaded for a while. Only listening to it now though. It's fucking brilliant.

Good reviews, too:

Way late to the party pal. Many forum members been preaching them since the turn of 2014. Better late than never I suppose.

Wow, a whole thread about this, finally!
I love this band, I can't believe that I've discovered them a little more than one year ago.

Lost In The Dream is a brilliant, brilliant album. It just flows... perfect when you're feeling a bit lonely on a cold winter afternoon. There's a lot of sadness in there, but also hints of hope and thoughts of a man who's not giving up: this sums up pretty nicely my last year, so maybe that's the reason why I'm so much into this album.

My favorite track is An Ocean In Between The Waves: it's a monster, it kicks in quietly and then it gets bigger, and bigger, and bigger again... it probably is my favorite song from 2014.

I must admit I'm a sucker for new wave/synthpop music, so when I heard Red Eyes on the radio back in spring, my ears immediately pricked! Very similar in fact to a great tune by Rod Stewart called Young Turks (gamers will notice it from GTA: San Andreas!) and also has much Springsteen influences. It seems that much music rooted in traditional styles local from a particular band is usually a good basis for great music and it applies to The War On Drugs. Bought the album soon after, such a great album - in my top three this year definitely.

He does a pretty good The Ties That Bind

I'm at the age where I dont like a lot of new music but it was one of my favorite albums of the year too.

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

colincarrot: Hello! I'm new here and looking to download Liam Gallagher bootlegs from here and found this thread here - forum.live4ever.uk.com/thread/86703/liam-gallagher-tour-2017-2018 - with a list of concerts but if I click on any of the links... (1/2) Sept 23, 2024 10:47:13 GMT -5

colincarrot: ...it says I don't have permission to access this thread, maybe it's because I only joined today but I'm not sure what to do, could somebody help or know what to do?

mimmihopps: colincarrot, the thread is still active, but you do need to log in to access to the thread as it's in Sound & Vision board. Hope it helps. Sept 24, 2024 4:26:30 GMT -5 *

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5

Bonehead's Barber: spooky! Oct 17, 2024 8:13:01 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Well my Halloween theory might not have been true... I wish the banner came back in its original form
