[rquote=2610986&tid=148231&author=Dezzy]I like their new stuff as much as their older albums, it's a different sound and I like how they are tweaking their music with each album. They never stay exactly the same. Their newest albm has one of my favourite tracks by them if I'm honest (Closer). Calling them a 'chav' band is completely wrong as well, chavs don't like bands they like basshunter and robbing old ladies.

Finally the only thing that annoys me about this thread is the use of 'sell out'. Now i'm a snob when it comes to music but i can't stand the use of that phrase. It's a phrase used by wannabe-cool indie kids who think liking a band nobody else knows or likes makes them cool.[/rquote]

Sorry Dezzy they have sold out
Remix albums with Justin timberlake, cut their hair and change their clothes when they got their first number one album and horrible sappy ballads. i like acts who don't change their style so they can sell millions of records and the kings of leon have been the worse along with Razorlight in the last few years to sell out.

i think your mad thinking their new sound is anywhere near the perfection of their first three albums but you got your own taste in musioc but for me its a awful bon jovi type record

Music has to evolve though.
You can't keep making the same style of music for years, and years. People get bored.
LOADS of long-running bands have altered their sound.
Sure, there's still something recognizable that makes them unique, but it has to develop.

definatly worse
i love their old stuff
although i dont mind their new stuff but i know they sold out
when i saw them at oxegen they played all their old stuff and i was singing along but NO-ONE else around me knew the songs they just came to hear sex on fire
made me sick

they are pandering to the pop fans or fans who buy Snow patrol records like yourself even you admit you don't listen to these bands[/rquote]

I dont buy any of the CDS of Snow Patrol/Kings of Leon, im not a fan of KOL, I just really love that particular song.
Im not sure its aiming for pop fans either.

[Beastie]

A lot of songs on their recent albulm sounds similar but they are still good

[teabag.]

taper jean girl is one of my favourate songs though

[setanta]

[Braden]

[Iceman]

The Bucket > Everything Else

There first three albums are great and showed real character and balls in their music. This last one is just dull and generic. Sad really. I mean it's good, but it's not original or innovative.

they had a Creendence clearwater revival feel to them which i liked
then they got the haircut and had a shave while listening too much U.2 and Bon jovi and came out sell outs

yeah three great albums which should have sold by the bucket loads
but their weakest album turns out the big seller

I'd heard them before they were mainstream but I didn't like them.

And with the whole mainstream thing, I can't really think of a band that's too similar to them so they haven't technically 'fitted in with the mainstream' because they're not a clone of another band really.
