North took me a long long time to get into.

My initial sentiments were the same as King Hoarse's - I was bored with it for the first half a dozen listens as it was too slow. But I persevered and it was worth it.

dminches - give it a full listen and if you don't like it, stick with it.

Spare me the theatrics :wink: :lol: ... Imperial Bedroom is important for one thing and one thing alone. It is the album from which my moniker comes from. Actually, EH raises a point.

Riff Raff The Singles 1977-80.

This is Billy Bragg's punk band before he went solo. I prefer him solo but the music captures the era.

Franz Ferdinand were - as usual - excellent. The Forum is a great venue (if a bit dingy!). They only did a 55 minute set followed by a 25 minute encore. On 40 Ft they had the four members of the band, another three people playing drums, someone else playing keyboards and a three piece brass section....

Re: Imperial Bedroom: overrated?

Is it heresy for me to suggest that this album is a tad overpraised? ... God, I'm pompous, spouting my opinions, but I've always felt like a heretic for not totally loving Imperial Bedroom! Of course it's not heresy. You are entitled to your own views about any particular album. Elvis told a story ...
