5.9 from pitchfork, that is way too low imo. I didn't have any expectations for the album, but I am really enjoying it so far. It isn't a classic, but I think there are some real strong points.

I like angels, but you better stop talking about them before GARY gets in here and starts hating on all the non-believers

Listened to this via online stream... It's a very good album, better than "First Impressions" and slightly weaker than Room on Fire (far from Is This It).. Fans should enjoy it.. What I liked - while they didn't exactly reinvent themselves, I think this album isn't just "more of the same"..
Favourites: first two songs, Life is simple in the moonlight
85/100

Is this It? saved Rock music in 2001
Angel is saving this mediocre year so far !

You'd say that no matter what it sounded like 😉 :lol:

🤣 , but i'm trying to be objective, and i think that Angles is really good. i really didn't expected it to be that good. it's far from the level of Is This It? though.

I havent listened to it yet, but it's ANGLES, not ANGELS.
I'm expecting a lot of it, so I hope it doesn't disappoint.

I certainly don't think 2011 has been mediocre. Let England Shake, TKoL, The King is Dead and Mogwai's new album are all good.

I just listened to the entire thing, and it's not bad, but not nearly as good as they could do. I'd give it a 75/100, key tracks being 'Call Me Back', 'You're So Right' and 'Life Is Simple In The Moonlight'

Going to buy it no matter what. I was pretty dissapointed with under the cover, it sounded like popier, cartoonish version of themselves. Having said that, i liked youre so right and that moonlight song they played on snl alot more. So yeah, i hope the songs are more like those two. im pretty psyched actually. This hasn't been the greatest year for music so far, so hopefully angels is gonna turn it around 😁

Hmm, well I am cautiously excited. I liked Under Cover Of Darkness, so maybe it is a (apparently eclectic) return to form. Either way I will be buying
