Track 6? Well it's three on mine... You know on the version you buy LEGALLY... In anyways- it's a step on from joy divis.... **** OK Wrong song name *Face turns redder than a smacked arse* I meant Positive Tension... Whoops... Well the same question is posed.
And for the record (or C.D , whatever you bought it on) I agree about Shes Hearing Voices and Joy Divsion. Sorry!!!

I think they're given such a high rating because of theie whole "we're a ragtag bunch of nerds and geeks like you who get picked on in school and (possibly) masturbate too much" aura. That's nothing partiularly new but it does make one think "Well if they can do it, so can I". Dammit, I will do it... Then you'll see... Then you'll ALL see... *Sob* Sorry it's an emotional time (The OC is on)

I think it`s more snobbery on the part of the British music press more than anything.
For example I saw The Bravery`s new single get trashed in one paper for being 'The same old early 80s new wave imitation that everybodys doing' which is ironic really because Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand and all the rest of them are doing the exact same thing & getting praised to high heaven for it. Although personally I think The Bravery do it far better than those bands , but of course the Bravery are American , which probably counts for everything

Critics are giving the perception that these bands are just pilfering history for a tune... I see it more like a continuation of the New Wave stuff. Todays acts are picking up were it was all left off for Acid and Grunge and Britpop... Let it continue, I say, especially when were getting quality like The Killers and The Bravery, and yes, Bloc Party. And Honest Mistake is a ****er (kicker) of a song, but not nearly as goo as Uncoditional.
