Was a pretty massive fan back in the day but their last album was pure ****e. Source tags & Madonna are their best albums. Worlds apart is great but has a more overproduced sound and a few duff tracks on it. So divided is just rubbish. The EP The secret of elenas tomb is brilliant too.
They're a bit underrated IMO, and really, really unfairly lumped in with **** emo bands. Saw their gig last year over here and it was amazing, really nice guys too, hung around for ages after the show signing posters and gave one guy thier cymbals and all

Average at best. I have their back catalogue and it's very much hit and miss.

My current fav song would have to be 'Caterwaul' from the 'Worlds Apart' album.

Source Tags and Codes is amazing. I hear Madonna is great but didn't really like Worlds Apart that much the last time I listened. It does have a few good tracks though.

I saw them a while ago when they played here and they were so disappointing though. They were so godamn sloppy. I'd complain more but thanks to one of the guys on the door being an eejit I managed to get in free.

Sorry but source tags and code is one of the best albums of the decade. There is no way shape or form it could even begin to be described as 'average'. Listen to another morning stoner and then tell me its average

I would stick my head out and say that Source Tags and Codes is the greatest indie album of the decade.

Madonna was excellent and Worlds Apart was very good. New one is average, but they said that themselves that it was really an EP the record label wanted to release as a full album. They never even toured for it.

How Near, How Far is one of my favourite rock songs. I really haven't heard them top it yet.

Saw them at ATP and thought they were good but not great.

But event he fans here have said so divided is ****. Ive been listening to them since about 2001 and even i say its ****. Get source tags and code and youll hear them on top form. It really is one of if not the best alt rock album of the 00s, without a doubt. Ive yet to see anyone listen to that album and go 'yeah, bit **** innit?'. Anyone ive recommended it to has loved it

red_ice

i have all their stuff, my personal fav album would be Worlds Apart..

I have a broken drumstick from the academy gig there a few months back

Anyone got their new album "Century of Self"? Definitely a throw back to Source Tags and Codes, need to give it a few more listens before I can make a call on it.

Have been recommended them often, where to start? Having heard nothing fromn them.

Dragging this back from the dead but i only got centur of self a week or two ago. Its quite good but again they seem to have lost alot of their energy and it just doesnt rock the **** out like madonna & stac. Having said that tho i do think isis unveiled is one of the best songs theyve ever written, and the artwork/booklet for the album is just stunning
