Yup - spot on.

I can tell you what the next three Primals albums will be like too. That's if they get that far.

Sigh...

Screamadelica is great, but its a Weatherall album in my opinion.

I gave up buying Scream albums people said were amazing as I'd listen to them and they'd be appalling piles of nonsense. I bought about 3. Plus they are without doubt the worst headline act I have ever seen. I saw one of those George Clinton shows that were regarded as classics. Total rubbish. Sorry.

a beautiful noise · Post by **a beautiful noise** » Wed Feb 22, 2006 7:10 pm

*sigh*

fair enough runci.

at least you tried.

xxme

p.s.- good point about screamadelica, it is a weatherall album, but what a great album that is, need to give that one a listen to again. thanks.

I can't wait for the new Scream LP. How can you argue with Vanishing Point and XTRMNTR? Those are both excellent IMO. Evil Heat is a bit too electro/industrial for me, but it's still got some great songs (Rise, for example) on it.

twinside · Post by **twinside** » Thu Feb 23, 2006 5:12 am

prml scrm are ace, end of discussion. you only need to listen to xtrmntr for evidence of that, a band who by rights are 10 years past their use by date making the best music they've ever made...

you guys who've heard the new record... how did you manage to get a copy? is it up on soulseek? do you know the title, or anyway i can get a preview prior to offical release, when, of course, i will be purchasing a legit copy?

thanks guys,

daniel

Primal scream are the greatest, there are a couple of bootleggs floating about with some of the new material on, fuji rock in japan last year with Country Girl, Suicide Sally and Cars, and also a not so good quality bootlegg of the Folkestone gig they played in December last year, with When the bomb drops, 99th floor(hole in my heart), Nitty Gritty, Country Girl, Cars and Suicide Sally.

The sound is definatly a return to rock n roll, but nothing like Give Out ballads, thank goodness.

Picks of the bunch have to be Country Girl, which has no1 single written all over it, is such a good tune, movin on up for 2006, gets released on 22/05/06. 99th Floor is pure class, awesome mani bassline kinda sounds like a wired my generation. When the bomb drops is just something else altogether, some amazing Kevin Sheilds guitar if the bootleggs anything to go by and has an amazing break in it, think the new album is gonna be their best yet, which is what we have come to expect from Primal Scream in their current line up.

Are you ready 3,4,5.......

u_nderscore · Post by **u_nderscore** » Thu Feb 23, 2006 10:20 am

trying really hard to stay out of this one as my love of primal scream is unabashed. i gave up trying to convince non-believers of their genuine greatness ages ago. but i have to just say i disagree about screamadelica being a weatherall album. i just dont think that's true. it's fair to say he obviously played a big part in it being how it is - his 'come together' and 'higher than the sun' remixes for example, are admittedly very remixed - but come on...there are songs behind all those trippy tunes! and let's face it, in 1991 weatherall wasn't writing songs...yeah, he mastered the art of re-interpreting songs but i'm sure he'd be the first to admit there's no weatherall songs on screamadelica. his 'come together' is probably the closest, but it's still 'come together'. if you follow the lineage of primal screams songwriting through from the first albums, it's right there on screamadelica...but better, and with the influence of the changing times playing it's part too. i'd say 'im comin down' and 'shine like stars' are great examples of this.

a fantastic record, and yeah, a primal scream/weatherall record, but not just weatherall.

i for one, can't wait for the new album.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Thu Feb 23, 2006 11:07 am

Totally agree, you only have to listen to the original version of higher than the sun, which is equally as good if not better than the orbs/wetherall mixes.

simonkeeping · Post by **simonkeeping** » Thu Feb 23, 2006 12:09 pm

Primal scream are one of two bands who still mean something to me. They are so ahead of the game and unafraid to buck the trend it makes them truly rock and roll. I doubt in ten years time people will give a shit about Franz Ferdinand and bloc party, But they wil about the scream. They have opened so many doors to me musically speaking and when you listen to them you can tell they love doing what they do. Bobby G cares about music and I think at the end of the day thats what makes them great. Im slightly drunk from last night still so this is all a bit rambling. I will conclude by saying that I always see them like the last gang in town. Renegades standing up for rock and roll.

Think I may have got a bit carried away there....

Shinesalight · Post by **Shinesalight** » Thu Feb 23, 2006 5:42 pm

I think the Scream get hyped up a bit too much. Thought they were absolutely woeful at the Hoping Foundation gig. Just a racket really, and Bobby's vocals were shit. Every new song (by that I mean the last 2 albums really) just sounded the same, a kind of industrial noisy mess.

Mani has added a bit of oomph and just increased the general rock and roll attitude but I thought their set at last years Glasto sucked (mind you, I only caught it on TV). I just think they could have played a kind of greatest hits set and blown the crowd away. That year's Glastonbury was theres for the taking, what with Coldplay headlining and everything. I know, some people would say playing the hits is a bit of a comprimise but sometimes the crowd just wants to party and I think they really missed their opportunity. I mean, Bobby ended up taunting the crowd for being stupid hippies. Thats not rock and roll, thats just bitterness and the drunken behavior of a baffoon. Luckily Ian Brown was there to save the day, giving the kids just want they wanted.

Think this new album may be their last chance to prove that they can walk the walk AND talk it up. They have the makings of a brilliant outfit, what with Kevin Shields getting involved too; Gillespe, Shields and Mani - now it doesn't come much more rock and roll than that. Don't think they'll ever return to the heights of Screamadelica but I think they can still be the kings of underground cool and I think thats what they'd prefer to be to honest.

Simon, you didn't get carried away at all. You've obviously got great taste.

Up The Scream!

Gruff · Post by **Gruff** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 3:56 pm

I like Primal Scream. They've written some great songs. But I'm afraid that for me is it. I LIKE them and they've written SOME great songs. IMO all their albums I own have some more dodgy tunes. Inevitable I guess, but I do just skip through them, whereas albums I truely LOVE don't have any tracks that I would do that with.

...and I'm sorry but all the live stuff I've seen them do I think is pretty rubbish compared to the album tracks-and I very rarely find that. Whereas pon record Bobby's voice is cool-live it sounds like a screechy girly camp dribble. And it's never quite hit the mark-there seems to be a bit of a hole somewhere.

But I don;t mean to be down-I'm still very much looking forward to the new album. I hope it's better than Evil Heat, which to me sounded like just a less good version of XTRMNTR, which was fabulous. Vanishing Point was good, Don't Give out Give Up is only half an album. and the bits with george clinton on are woefully embarressing. Screamadelica is great, but does have some less good tracks. Doesn't it? Honestly?

Sorry I'm getting negative again. I do like them, honest!

BUt why did they release the Chemical BRothers version of Swastika Eyes rather than the far superior Jagz version?[/i]

I beg your pudding?! I've got 6 hours of footage of last year's Glasto on tape and I think the Primals played the best set by a million miles! Bobby's mixture of politics and arse-wiggling was great and the band played pure destroy-punk-rock-n-roll that wiped the floor with garbage like the Magic Numbers. Fair enough, Evil Heat wasn't the most amazing album but to be fair there's still some decent tunes on it. Looking forward to the album and to seeing them live on that Spring tour that they've just announced today

jack white · Post by **jack white** » Wed Mar 01, 2006 6:23 pm

i thought that their set at glastonbury was exactly what that festival needed.
the white stripes tried to shake things up with their set and approach and to some extent succeed, but nowhere on the level of ps.

it was a great moment bobby calling them hippies then launching into kill all hippies, even though your glastonbury goer is more likely a yuppy than anything else. and while the good vibes from brian wilson were nice, it was a bit sickening (though the woman that sings in his band is lovely) and the timing was perfect for some bashing from bobby. shame they didnt get to play gimme some truth though.

theyre playing oxegen festival in ireland this summer, and ive never seen them live. but i swore id never go back to that place unless it was for something truly special... and i would love to get the piss ripped out of me and the cunts that attend that festival by bobbys acid tongue.

but yea, their behaviour at glastonbury was one of the highpoints of last summer.

Skull X-ploding>>>>

Evil Heat is a damn good album : Wetherall & Shields split production, Autobahn 66 is on it too!

However no one else thought so, which means it's currently on sale in fopp for three pounds...the same price as a glass of reassuringly expensive lager, fact fans.

Yep, I know that feelin.
Oxegen Festival is a 5 pound stocking fulla 9 pounds of shite. Electric Picnic is the place to be if your in Ireland for a music festival.

Primal Scream live are incredible but as far as studio is concerned I think their lackinga lot of soul in their music.
Dont all jump on me at once...purely my own opinion.

jack white · Post by **jack white** » Fri Mar 03, 2006 3:51 pm

EP is ok. but you're just exchanging a bunch of steeks and millies for a bunch of yuppies serending as hippies for the weekend.
but the fact that it actually has a good comedy tent (oweing in no small part to tommy tiernan) and last years headliners (not including fatboy slim) were great makes it the better option. though the clash of the flaming lips and kraftwerk is unforgivable.

he does care about music...one of the reasons that keeps him worth retaining a modicum of affection for...when he rhapsodizes the music of others he becomes a righteous medium for the Holy word...problem is-- he behaves like a pretentious dick most all of the rest of the time

what makes the scream great is that they boast some of the country's most fearsomely singular and creative musicians in their lineup...bobby ain't one of them,,,,just an enthusiastic and well informed Pop historian

if you don't like country girl you won't like the album.
