K1874M Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Beautiful Future. Thoughts? Not listened to it fully just skipped through it but not their best I feel. 1. "Beautiful Future" - Very light and pop like.... not a fav 2. "Can't Go Back" - Good tune, not surprised its their first single on the album 3. "Uptown" - Very ambient 4. "The Glory of Love" - Again very pop like - depeche mode sounding 5. "Suicide Bomb" - Heaviest track on the album - dont mind it 6. "Zombie Man" - old Primal sounding -best track on the album. 7. "Beautiful Summer" - Good tune, ambient but nice riff - electro style 8. "I Love to Hurt (You Love to Be Hurt)" (featuring Lovefoxxx) -Electro - dark - good tune. 9. "Over and Over" (featuring Linda Thompson) - very very chilled 10. "Necro Hex Blues" (featuring Josh Homme) - more indie than any of the other tracks - lot more guitar sounding 11. "The Glory Of Love" (Single Version) - not a fan tbh So, bit of a let down but its the primals so prob a must have album. Any one else got it yet?

It's getting pelters in the reviews anyway. Some of the new tracks sounded good at T in the P, Suicide Bomb in particular. Your last comment is interesting as the Guardian yesterday claimed they will get away with it simply because they are Primal Scream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigolo-Aunt Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 The Times savaged it yesterday. Of course it was only the reviewers opinion though. TBH, they have been very hit or a miss (more miss though) since the wonderful Vaishing Point back in 97. Never sounded that great at T-in the park from the bits I seen, not always a great watching gigs from the couch though. Is little Bernie* still playing guitar with them? *think that was the chap's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably still buy it for the collection but couldnt help my self when I found it for download. Lot of ambient tracks which isnt bad but they dont do much tbh, sure they sound good live as Primal Scream have a sound thats always good live, lots of good electro and guitar riffs that will please crowds on big systems. I think the album will grow on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the album will grow on me. Quite pleased with it. Not quite XTRMNTR or Vanishing Point (which I reckon is their masterpiece), but better than the last two. More "atmospheric", and a bit darker. Like you say, I reckon it'll be fantastic live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I've only had one listen and not read any reviews but I thought it sounded a real return to form. Very poppy. It sounded good in the sun yesterday afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
