I thought this album was one of the greatest ever when I first heard it, it's been a while since then but I feel like it hasn't aged that well. It feels kinda dated. I love Bitter Sweet Symphony (who doesn't), Lucky Man is a catchy song and The Drugs Don't Work is emotional too, but the problem is that some tracks aren't that memorable. I'd probably consider them the British incarnation of R.E.M; as they're really boring.

Haha, quite the insult, I like it. Very Happy I love the two hit singles, plus another one I can't remember the name of, but overall the album is quite bland and dull.

anyone else associate Bittersweet Symphony with Cruel Intentions



















that was a statement, not a question. If you don't, you're not cool

I actually bought this album moments after seeing Cruel Intentions for the first time because I liked the song so much.
