Saw em last night at the Academy and it was like 'best of' gig
Nope they haven't inspired or captured me. Just a bunch of aging rockers churning out increasingly up tempo stuff.

Though you didn't exactly go and see them without prejudice did you, planetsusie :rolleyes:

Re: doves new album-kingdom of rust
 

It was without prejudice
I listened to all their albums several times because i am open minded
that's music, subjective

Re: doves new album-kingdom of rust
 

Oh and bought a ticket and went to check that out

Re: doves new album-kingdom of rust
 

If you say so. :)

Re: doves new album-kingdom of rust
 

Indeed. I still went and really wanted to like them. That would make for a much better evening.
They are ok.
I wouldn't choose to play their stuff and I also wouldn't ask for it to be turned off. Its nowhere for me. The key words being 'for me' Obviously people do like them, that's why other tickets got sold and they were recommended to me.
Staying in with the TV would have been better. hahaha!

You liked them live then shakermaker?

Re: doves new album-kingdom of rust
 

They're definitely best seen in a festival environment.

I hope that doesn't seem disrespectful to their own shows or recording (I bought their Some Cities album and still listen to it now and again), but they do their best work during the summer festivals of Oxygen, T, V, etc.

I suppose that's actually a great thing to have in their arsenal - entertaining thousands who don't even regularly listen to their music.

i also went the academy gig and it was good ( but then again i would say that because i am a 'fan' ) but it was not their best.the film show behind them was very cool,certainly the northern soul wigan casino footage played to the song 'here it comes' from the first album..shame about the fight that broke out during the gig though.
ive notice samples of the new album being played on loads of tv drama's/sport programmes etc this week
