I've got to say, I like the Dancing Backwards album - okay, not as much as the previous two, but I still like it a lot. Anyway, just weighing in - oh, downloaded The Compulsions album today (with Mr Yaffa on base) - somewhere between The Stones and Primal Scream - could be worth you checking out??

Its that they have a legend to maintain and anything short of a full on balls out fuck you and the horse you rode in on show doesnt really cut it.<br />They are the victims of their own reputation here.MarkBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933702603737809721.post-23947590412701425382011-11-06T15:32:42.318+00:002011-11-06T15:32:42.318+00:00Interesting comments.

I honestly thought they were okay, but suffered in comparison to all the other shows I have seen with the Conte, Yaffa and Delany line up.<br />Anonymous. I've had this conversation with someone I know already. They enjoyed the gig, but like you had never seen the band before and therefore have nothing to compare the performance with. I'm glad you enjoyed the show, but how can you disagree with comparison points without the experience to hang them on?It's a **** thinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00053355188293146177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933702603737809721.post-46785770325460375282011-11-06T15:27:19.931+00:002011-11-06T15:27:19.931+00:00Have to disagree.

The criticism is like a pulled punch.<br />As a fan I was sorely disappointed with it. <br />The last album was shit and the live dates piss over all the good memories that they have given me.<br />I doubt I will go to see them again.<br />It's just crap that my last memory of them will be of this gig.Corey.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933702603737809721.post-22709151302077419822011-11-06T15:21:44.757+00:002011-11-06T15:21:44.757+00:00So not the car crash in slow motion I was expectin...So not the car crash in slow motion I was expecting/dreading, but neither was it the salvage job I was crossing my fingers for either.<br /><br />Spot on.
