Though received since Monday, my long working hours don t allow me to listen to it properly, still a quick listen to it reveals a stunning album
this is looks very very promising, but then again when did Sullivan let us down..
"wired" is the opener and is a killer track
more in a few days

I'm really looking forward to this, I've good reports.
Being brave is coming home at 2am half drunk, smelling of perfume, climbing into bed, slapping the wife on the arse and saying,"right fatty, you're next!!"
It's supposed to be a drift back to previous material, it'll never be a Thunder & Consolation or a Ghost of Cain 'cause the personel anen't there but I hope it's gutsier than Carnaval.Maisey wrote:I knew it was soon, but iI havn't been holding my breath...
I liked carnival well enough, is this an improvment?

Hope it's quieter too.

In all honesty, I'd have to say that my love of NMA has seriously wained over the years, from the live performances (with so many members changing/leaving) to the continuing produced lacklustre studio albums.
I hated Carnival when it first came out. I played it over and over, then suddenly, it came to me. NMA are not angry young men anymore, simply pissed off middle-aged chaps whom still have an axe to grind!
This then changed my prospective upon the whole show. Sure, as already mentioned, we'll never get another T&C, and the album 8 was probably their worst ever, but in recent years I've come to re-enjoy their offerings because of this.
Wired, tbh, I don't think really covers any different ground and even some of the arrangements sound very similar to Carnival in places, yet still a masterpiece is accomplished with some good songs to boot.
Certainly nothing that'll ever be played in clubs, but a good pub album all the same.

Just given it a first spin - apart from a slight dip towards the middle I reckon it's about as good as you could hope for at this point in things - that's meant in a positive way, too. There's some pretty strong tracks dotted through it and it seems to hang together well as a whole.
Must investigate more plays and see what I decide......

I like it. I've heard far worse. 
It certainly seems better, after a couple of plays, than Carnival did.

...and the fact that they're no longer 21 somehow serves to invalidate what they've got to say? What "ought" they to be doing then, at their obviously advanced ages? What's "age-appropriate" for these dudes, now? Sitting on their arses in front of telly and contemplating buying another SUV or adding to their stock portfolios?

I left my heart in Ballycastle... 
I have trid to order it (and a couple of more things) from NMA online shop but each time I have got an automatic relpy: The authorization could not be performed (while my credit card works fine, well - have worked too fine - for some other UK or German online shops) 
Sorry because of that almost off-topic post... but yeah, that makes me very sad that I still haven't had a possibility to listen to the whole new NMA album

strange a bought it from the nma shop and everything was fine, maybe one of the items was out of stock?
btw expecting a "t & c" nr. 2 from NMA is like waiting from the sisters a new falaa
the new album is excellent and "dawn" is my second favourite track

Thought I'd avail myself of the facilities - or is it just too lazy to start a new threaditis?

VISAS Denied. North American tour cancelled.
We have regrettably been forced to cancel the North American tour that was due to start this week. The US Citizenship and Immigration Service have denied the visas that the band require to travel to the USA and so until this matter is resolved all shows are on hold.
The band and management are extremely disappointed by this result as the tour was destined to be one of the greats. The new album is out, there is media attention in every city and the expectations are (were) high from the thousands of fans who had bought advance tickets.
The dates will be re-booked once the Immigration situation is resolved. In the meantime, ticket refunds are available from the point of purchase.
At present time we are still awaiting the reason for our denial from the proper authorities.
Check back for updates as we will be further investigating this matter.
Despite all the gloom there is a light at the end of the tunnel... "HIGH" was released in the US on Tuesday and reports are that sales are brisk..
