Why though? I mean they're not assholes, and arguably all of their albums up to now have been of a very high standard?

How come you don't like them?

I've never felt any connection to them, apart from one song (which I only like cuz Aimee Mann smashed it). I dislike the whine that is Martin's vocal. Also, I'm very idiosyncratic/fussy when it comes to who listen to :)

I just don't like videos like this. I don't find them amusing or touching, and they just detract from the song for me.

I agree. It's actually a little naff and cheesy. The song deserves better!

after a couple or so listens, the only tracks i care about are the two singles, hurts like heaven and the riri collaboration-the latter a bit less so. this all feels strikingly underwhelming- fuck production, where are the actual tunes?

That's exactly how I felt for the first couple of days, but it's been gradually sneaking up on me over the week.

UPDATE!

Having heard them play the tracks live on Jools Holland, I have given the album another go and it has grown on me. I still think it's a shadow of the last LP though.

Whereas I loved the other albums instantly, this one has been such a grower. There are a couple of less-than-wonderful songs, but overall I really like it.

By the way, why is Paradise suddenly #1 on UK iTunes? It's been out for weeks, but has been at #1 for the past few days. Any idea why??

No, about 3 or 4 days BEFORE that, it was #1 on iTunes UK and I still have no idea why it suddenly went to #1. It's been out for weeks!

Yeah, Paradise has really taken off here now and the X-Factor performances will solidify that. They're gonna get huge numbers between now and January.
