No, but if you get your hands on it, I'd love a copy.

Yeh I watched it on BBCi, when they done a gig here for Radio 1. Although having never heard the original, I couldn't really appreciate it as much.

[soundless_space]

Man their early stuff was so rad, and now it just all sounds the same.

[bishopx]

The new album sounds more like the old stuff

Ya but it sucks more.

[Some Random]

i love every song on in your honor, except on disk two, where there's a few i don't like. i've listened to the new one once, and nothing grabbed me. i'll give it a few more listens, granted, but it just doesn't sound as inspired, to me, as in your honor did.

[borntohula]

i've listened to it once, but i wasn't always in the same room... so my first impression maybe be a little skewed.

 

it strikes me as though they tried to blend what they had with in your honor with their older material (hence the reintroduction of producer gil norton). at times they sound like they're the foo fighters doing bruce springsteen or tom petty & the heartbreakers covers. like someone else had said, they don't sound like they're growing. they have a new aesthetic, but that aesthetic is classic rock.

 

what made in your honor so good was that it was incredibly sequenced. that statement might sound like hyperbole, especially considering all they did was put the loud songs on one disk and all the quiet on another, but it really helped emphasize their strengths. now, this new album has them trying to pull the quiet-loud song structure off again, almost as though the last album never happened. but this is the conclusion i've come to after one listen. more to come, when i give it a few more listens.

I never listen to it when it can out, however i relly like Razor from in your honour. I also like the Skin and Bones CD.

[Muran]

Razor is an amazing song. That and Virginia Moon are the stand outs, imo.

[bishopx]

I like Razor too, I was listening to The Color and the shape all day Sunday...and I have to admit it is a superior disc

[LonelyWreckage]

Now we're talking. The Colour & The Shape is utter brilliance.

[bishopx]

You're damned skippy...Hey Johnny Park, and Febuary Stars are just awesome,

[LonelyWreckage]

Absolutely. There isn't a bad song on it, and My Hero is my favourite song of theirs. Have you heard the half a dozen songs included in the 10 Anniversary edition? If so, are they any good? I've been meaning to get those.

[bishopx]

I'd heard about that, I definitely want it.,

[LonelyWreckage]

From what I remember, many were just covers, but there was a few others including the title track. I'll have to see if I can find them for download anywhere.

you can find them all over the internet. the title track is something that you should check out in particular, because it's fucking awesome.

 

i think i've got them all if not most of them. so i'll be able to post them up here to save everyone buying the re-release. although it is remastered, so if you're into that sort of thing, then maybe you'd be better off buying it.

If someone finds them let me know.

[Shortcut To Moncton]

I haven't listened to it yet but I thought disc one of In Your Honour was just awful.

Yeh, I thought as much about the title track. I mean, why name an album after it, unless it's worthy...

 

That'd be great if you could upload them, really appreciated. ;)

[borntohula]

The Colour & the Shape Bonus Trackssssss

 

enjoy. if i've missed something, please lemmie know.

[LonelyWreckage]

As far as I can see, they're all there. Cheers mate! ;)

[bishopx]

Thank you Hula!!! You are awesomeness

[Shiri]

Thank you, I didn't even know these existed but I'll check them out!

[bishopx]

It turns out that I had everything but The Color And The Shape...IT ROCKS!!!!

[Shiri]

I like Dear Lover, I used to have it and somehow it disappeared so it's good to have it again.
