This new LP has leaked.

It's OK. It's a bit normal after "Pure Comedy"

Head Gardener

yeah It's OK, not out til June too apparently, it'll be forgotten about by then it's that memorable

SteveDave

This is out now for real and, over the last month, it's really grown on me. A few too many slow songs towards the end though.

Ballad of Ballard Berkley

Any excuse to re-listen to his excruciatingly awkward appearance on the Radcliffe and Maconie show.

To be fair to the man, he later apologised for being such a dick. He wasn't in a good place, to put it mildly.

Quote"Sometimes I just suck. The truth of the matter is it has not been a good year. I have substance-abuse problems. That morning, I was completely fucked up. This was Fear and Loathing level. I've got these lizard men with English accents doing this Laurel-and-Hardy act on me and I just couldn't deal with it. It's not as if those guys were so horrible. It's me. It's my fault."

it's quite good but doesn't feel as special as pure comedy. also feels short. no obvious superbangers either

usually i give everyone a second chance but the smug self-satisfaction of Pure Comedy has made me a hater for life. worst musician of our time.

You've obviously never heard Ed Sheeran.

I'd say "Disappointing Diamonds..." and "Please Don't Die" are up there with his best. It does feel short after "Pure Comedy" though.

mate not only have I heard him I have SEEN him live at In The City in 2009 and I gave him a reasonably decent write-up obviously not thinking he'd get very far. either way i infinitely prefer Sheeran to Misty.

Fuckinell.

i feel confident that ignorable but objectively structurally-sound pop beats out a navel-gazing lecture from an overeducated neckbeard over sickly soft rock.

Yeah to back up sevendaughters I find Misty insufferable. A lot of friends love him, I thought he was alright for a bit but the pomposity of Pure Comedy really soured him for me. Horrible mix of musically uninteresting, self-satisfied verbosity and not having anything of interest to say with it.

But y'know, not really the place to pile in. I hope you all enjoy his new album which is definitely total shite that Pitchfork will bum senseless

I thought Maconie came out of that interview looking even more of a dick than did Misty.

Neither emerged from it covered in glory. Hats off to Radcliffe, really, for trying to rescue it in a calm and professional manner.
