Others will disagree. But I thought the whole thing was rubbish.

I agree, it's gibberish. And hardly main news worthy.

At least you like the sleeve design?

I thought it would be sung in French. Listening now. I like Spring-Heeled Jim, so far...

I am laughing now at Spring Heeled Jeem. Heel deux, heel never be done teux. And he leeves to louvre...

 

[billybu69]

I'm of to Paris this weekend might try pick one up.

But the music is interesting, I think. All in all, I think it is a great collection.

 

[cokebabies]

I was let down. Based on the cover image, I thought this was going to be some sort of Jingle Cats-esque Morrissey cover album done by cats.

 

[DAVIE]

Meh, didn't like that.

Missed web in webmagazine, then I listened to it so I won't try and pick one up.

 

[realitybites]

Wow, you guys are a tough sell.

 

[still ill life]

I like most of what I hear!
I remember when I read the "You can hear that album all over the Bends" quote by Thom Yorke talking about Vauxhall & I that I couldn't quite see it,
but the version of Lifeguard sleeping, girl drowning here on this tribute album sounds really close to something that Radiohead would make in the mid 90's, so that was quite a cool listen!
I like the Why don't you find out for yourself cover as well.

P.

I will agree and I haven't even heard it yet. Morrissey and Smiths covers are pointless.

I see how ya're.

I haven't even heard it yet, I just wanted to type tres bien.
