    I think I'm one of a very small group of big fans of The View. Anyone else listen to the new album? I think its pretty good, although not quite as good as Which bitch for me...

    I'd include myself in that group, but haven't got round to checking out the new one. Would you recommend it? Any particular songs to check out before I buy it?

    I've had a few listens now today and its really grown on me. I think its their most consistent album, there's no bad songs there. The new single Grace is pretty good, as is Tragic Magic

    Massive fan of The View, ace band, cant wait for the gig in the acadmemy next 13th april. Got the new album last saturday and must say its tip top, more mature sound than their youthful and frantic Hats off to the Buskers, but still with with all the fast past classic view riffs aswell as and massive choruses in 'Beautiful', 'Sunday' and' Best Lasts Forever'

    Tops tunes on it are Grace, Life, Tragic Magic, Girl, Blondie, but the rest are all fantastic.

    Its a hard one, I thought The Wombats would sell out a few weeks ago and it didn't seem sold out so I'd say it probably won't

    Tickets still not sold out. Should be a good gig tonight. They have started to play Same Jeans again. Only song I knew for YEARS.

    not really i went to their first gig here and it certainly wasn't full. And that was at their 1st album peak. So I'm not surprised they haven't topped their first album its been downhill since
