I'll take that as a compliment

I kind of like it, darker sounding album to their debut. But we'll see, I need to listen to it a bit more. The first 4 or 5 songs sound good. Why do you dislike it? It's generally considered better than their debut isn't it.. surprised you like the debut but not Wall of Arms.

I'm not sure, just wasn't feeling it at all. I think it's also because I happened to see them by chance at Glastonbury last year and I heard some of the songs performed live before I listened to the album, and Maccabees have never been GREAT live so maybe that tainted it a bit.

I've never heard them live, how come they're poor? Maybe, I remember watching Kasabian a couple of years ago. I didn't like them but I heard them support Oasis and it got me into them, just because they were strong live.. and they played some of their new stuff which sounded good, so I bought the album. If they performed it badly live I wouldn't have bothered with them. So being a good live band can definitely win or lose you fans.

It's been awhile since i bought any but these would be the most recent ones:

Danny Elfman - Alice In Wonderland OST
Ensiferum - From Afar [Digibook]
Finntroll - Nifelvind
Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction
Simon & Garfunkel - Greatest Hits
Journey - Escape

All were fantastic. Since I have very limited funds I only buy music I know I will enjoy so I knew beforehand these would all be awesome.

Up until the time of this purchase I had only owned Appetite For Destruction on tape (which I bought at a gas station some 20 years ago). Figured it was about time to own it on CD, haha.

Sugar - Copper Blue

Got the Beaster EP the other day and was pretty much blown away when I played it today for the first time, so I thought I'd get this album.

Those were two of my favorite albums when I was in high school. Good picks!

Some minimal ambient stuff.. the cover art is what made me want it in the first place.
