The Rapture
 

new single is available on their myspace page..."get myself into it"..it's pretty awesome...
any chance someone has a leak of the album?

Whats the album called?

Pieces of the people we love....

I'm afraid i'm one of those people who only know them for 'House Of Jealous Lovers'. Awesome song though.

The album hasn't leaked yet, but I'll let you know when it does.

New song sounds so good.

Out of the Races and onto the Tracks is my favorite album.

they have more than one album?

Kind of. I shouldn't have said album because it's really an EP, it has 6 tracks and, they released Mirror as well which has 8 tracks.

is that before or after echoes?

Before. Mirror-1998 (Gravity), Out of the Races and onto the Tracks-2001 (Sub-Pop)

The Rapture - Pieces of the people we love

enjoy and report back...:)

It's pretty solid. I'm not in love but, it's good.

yeah, i think it's a grower....although i can't help but to think of Radio 4 when listening to POTPWL ....and we all know they went down the shithole when they polished up their production....:-/

Ahh I heard Gotta Get Myself Into on the radio the other week - pretty good, haven't heard any of their other stuff, might check out their myspace page or something xx

I have their new album, but haven't listened to it yet.

Should I?

yes!
they are top guys
glad they are starting to get the recognition they deserve
new video is absolutely brilliant to

in any case, 'house of jealous lovers' is classic.

For some reason the rapture were percieved as the poster boys of the dance punk explosion in the early 00's when in reality their quite poor. Bands sich as Liars, !!!, out hud, radio 4 and moving units are all a lot better. One song escalated then to the pantheon of the industry supported by a mediocre at best album. Now they release more tosh. Im hoping they'll finally fizzle away soon.

yeah Liars are awesome. the band, that is.

Moving Units are not better than The Rapture. That's just silly.

What is it about people kissing the Liars asses

They`re bloody awful

Out Hud are the only band out of that bunch that I would say are even close to better than the Rapture. They were the poster boys of Dance Punk because they were the first to gain prominence for playing it with the release of "House of Jealous Lovers" and DFA's supprt. Echoes was good, and so is Pieces of the People We Love.

Firstly, Liars in my opinion are the most exciting, diverse and musically competent of the bunch, what are you going on about everyone kissing their arses?? If anything everybody seems keen to jump on the rapture bandwagon - which baffles me considering the only good song they've come up with is House of Jealous Lovers. Two average at best albums. I just think their over-hyped. Something Liars are not. Though i concede the second album was a stinker. Hot Chip, CSS, you say party! we say die! and controller. controller are further bands that piss all over the rapture .

For this exact reason.
Say you think the Liars are rubbish and you get the whole 'exciting , diverse , musically competent spiel'.
Nobody kissing their asses? Try just about every indie/review site on the net.

I`ve heard 2 of their albums , every listen results in the same thing, me turning off because it turns into annoying grating noise after a while.

None of them are all that similar, except that they all make pretty dance-y music. Hot Chip are better, I'd say CSS are on about the same level (although they did get annoying after a while, and the Rapture didn't) and YSP! WSD! and Controller are both awful in comparison. Actually, YSP! WSD! are just awful period.

Quoted for truth.

Rapture>>>The Liars. E.Z.

It's Liars, fool.

Urban Hatemonger, funnily enough i dont pay attention to internet indie reviews, i find the internet quite terrible for reviews. i love them because i do. And i think the rapture are **** because i do. WSP! YSD! are so much better than the rapture but it all boils down to opinion in the end, although at least we agree Hot Chip are good.

at least get the name right before slating a band. and just say easy. its only two letters more.
