Beautiful, powerful, brilliant stuff from Snow Patrol. Their irst album was fantastic, but this new one sounds even better.

:)

then you deserve to have something really terrible happen to you. Is that some kind of threat? Because it didn't really do it for me...

If you don't like this song.... then you have better taste in music than Barmy. :p

I'll drink to that! :beer:

Bah, I sense goat sacrificing mouse torturing bat easting gothie metalers :lol: ;)

Just know that these things will never change for us at allOf course not. All you want to do is lay in obtrusive spots and whine about how you are so bored.

It's a bit boring. Nothing ever happens in this song.

If you want softer rock music, try Dredg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiyzEMrocc0).

... then you deserve to have something really terrible happen to you.
Like being forced to listen to another song linked by Barmy Army? :p

Anyway, not bad. Not great.

But it's not rock music. It's Indie music. If you don't like this song, then you don't like Indie music. If you don't like Indie music then you officially have bad taste. Glad we got that straightened out.

majprity of indie = the suck.

Including this one :p

Can't educate pork :p

Nah im with Barmy, this song is great, and i love the band, they come from my home city :) just LOVE them. Buying the new album in a couple days. The thing about this song, is it keeps you on edge for the whole song, waiting for the climax they build up to, yet it doesnt come, which makes you wanna listen to the song again and again.

Good man ;) .

You other guys could also try this one.

The song is called Run. It's probably my favourite song off their previous album, Final Straw.

Love 'em!

The only Snow Patrol song I like is Spitting games, at least that one has some tempo. Unlike the ones linked here, these are just slow.

Barmy, the genre is called Indie Rock. ;)

Snow Patrol obviously play rock music, even if it is uninteresting stuf like Coldplays.

Not to say that they cannot make good songs. The second one you posted is quite nice.

Well aye, if you want to be officla about it then I gues you are right. But they're really considered two different genres with 'proper' rock being your Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, Nirvana's etc. and Indie being your Snow Patrol's , Kasabians, Coldplay's, Feeder's etc. I prefer Inide as it's more melodic and relaxing. I don't like anything that's too loud and aggressive.

The next step up from rock is metal, which is a major no-no.

It's a silly generalisation to say that all "Indie" music is great. "Indie" just means independent. If you say that all music made by people who are not signed up to big labels is great, then you are paying more attention to the status of the artist rather than listening to the music. Especially if you stop listening to them when they "sell out".

Lol, Indie is just a genre of music, slow and melodic, quite lyricy.

From Wikipedia:

Indie rock is a genre of alternative rock that primarily exists in the independent underground music scene. The term is sometimes used interchangeably with underground music as a whole, though more specifically implies that the music meets the criterion of being rock, as opposed to indie pop or other possible match-ups. These criteria vary from an emphasis on rock instrumentation (electric guitars, bass guitar, live drums, and vocals) to more abstract (and debatable) rockist constructions of authenticity.

"Indie rock" is shorthand for "independent rock", which stems from the fact the artists are generally signed to independent record labels, rather than major record labels. They may also be on no label at all. It is not strictly a genre of music (although the term is often used to reference the sound of specific bands such as Pavement and the bands they have influenced), but is often used as an umbrella term covering a wide range of artists and styles, connected by some degree of allegiance to the values of underground culture, and (usually) describable as rock music. Genres or subgenres often associated with indie rock include lo-fi, post-rock, garage punk, emo, sadcore, C86, twee pop, and math rock, to list but a few; other related (and sometimes overlapping) categories include shoegazing and indie pop.

Typically, indie artists place a premium on maintaining complete control of their music and careers, releasing albums on their independent record labels (sometimes their own) and relying on touring, word-of-mouth, and airplay on independent or college radio stations for promotion. Some of its more popular artists, however, may end up moving to major labels, though often on favorable terms won by their prior independent success.

Indie rock is not, in my opinion, a genre of music. Rather, it is a philosophy and/or description of the way your music is managed. Indie music can sound like anything at all and can be really good or really horrible.

I actually have to agree with you one this one Harbs. :thumb: Likening a band primarily because they are an "underground" band and hating them once they sell out is stupid. :rolling:

If you don't like this song.... then you have better taste in music than Barmy. [Razz] :lol: You got pwned, Barmy.

then you deserve to have something really terrible happen to you. Is that some kind of threat? Because it didn't really do it for me... I really dislike that song. Bring it on, Barmy. :p

Indie used to refer to what you're linking, but is now referred to as a genre! The meaning has changed over the years.

Also from Wiki...

More recently, the word "indie" is sometimes used as a synonym for new wave revivalist bands such as Franz Ferdinand, The Killers and The Strokes.
Such usages of "indie" may be considered inaccurate for various reasons: for one, stylistic qualities are often not accurately correlated to commercial independence or adherence to indie principles (this is particularly true when a sound becomes popular, its leading exponents are signed by major labels and more success-oriented bands and production teams attempt to imitate the style; this ultimately culminates in commercially driven artists sporting the same stylistic traits the "indie" artists of a year ago had).

However inaccurate it may be in an official sense, that's the way it is now!

Enlighten us as to what your music tastes are DoTW, and I'm sure we can rip it to pieces. I get the feeling you're a black clothes wearing, loud shouty music listening fella :lol: :lol: :lol: .

This kind of music is hugely popular in Britain in the last few years. And Snow Patrol are one of the better bands IMO.

Ye gods, just listened to the first one - it's absolutley horrible. As far as I know, the genre is referred to as 'shining whits'...

Haha. 'Shining whits' :lol: :lol: Like it

Each to his own I guess!

I should have known I wouldn't find people of a like mind on a forum like this :lol: .

'cept Dalveen, he knows quality when he hears it ;)

However inaccurate it may be in an official sense, that's the way it is now! Only amongst people who like being illogical.

Thats cos Snowpatrol are brilliant, and all these metal heads and stuff dont know what they are talkin about... ;)

Yes, I am all dressed in black. You got a problem with that?

As for my musical tastes, the RMBP speaks by itself. If you want to rip my musical tastes to shreds go ahead if it makes you feel better, I couldn't care less.

Well don't have a go at other peoples if you're going to get all defensive, then ;) . You obviously don't like it so don't dish it out, lesson number one dude.

Defensive isn't the good term.

I express my opinion, you express your, let's bash each other's taste and opinions if we both want. Bash mine as you see fit, Barmy. I don't seek your approval, and neither are you seeking mine, so it's all good.

Heh, I was never going to go bashing, I was just making a point :D .

On a lighter note, have you seen the new Lobster phones that stream live digital television? (off topic ftw)

On a lighter note, have you seen the new Lobster phones that stream live digital television? (off topic ftw) I DID heard about them... Virgin Mobile's own brand, IIRC. But this is material for RCPBT.

Ok then fellas, what about this song by Kasabian?

The video is proper mint, it's worth watching just for that I reckon, it's like a real film! Quality song I reckon. See what you think

Has anyone posted this one yet?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWCSGGrU9MA

It's supposed to have been rated the cleverest music video of all time. Bunch of guys leaping around on treadmills. Cost about $5 to make.

Yeah, OK Go! always make silly videos on a low budget in one take. Shame the songs are lame. But they're well known for videos like that. Their problem is going to be topping each one!

Finally someone on BoM who appreciates anything other than death metal. Way to go Barmy, I love Snow Patrol. Their new album is brilliant, especially 'open your eyes' and 'chasing cars'

Love the indie stuff: Snow Patrol, Bloc Party, Arctic Monkeys and Editors.

Great stuff!

Bloc Party, Arctic Monkeys and Editors are really good, but Snow Patrol...

The Kasabian Song above is nice, though.

I like Run by Snow Patrol. The treadmills vid is great, who'd have thought you could have so much fun on a workout machine? :shake:
