Don't get me wrong, they were great. But, they basically played their CD; the new material was weak and sparse, and the 'show' was little more than a pub band with thunder flashes and unitards. ok, maybe since this was the warm-up, they're saving the massive video screens, back drops, megatastic lighting rigs etc etc etc for the arenas - but I'm glad I saw them at Brixton; I'd be disappointed to see that show in an arena context -there's not enough to it. 100223@blogcritics.org Wed, 24 Nov 2004 07:03:04 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/12/07/131328.php#comment-100222 This review was written in December and how I would love to see the face of this ridiculous reviewer now with the guys having headlined Reading and Leeds, beginning a stadium tour and taking America by storm! Brixton too big for them? Sorry, I just turned incontinent with laughter. If this is what happens when he reviews a band, I really hope he comes to watch my band sometime in the near future and gives us a bad review. Keep it up and keep it real! 100222@blogcritics.org Wed, 24 Nov 2004 06:40:23 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/12/07/131328.php#comment-31853 when i first saw the darkness i said, you got to be kidding me. 31853@blogcritics.org Mon, 8 Dec 2003 13:48:06 EST
