any grinners fans picked this up?
i really like it, the 3 original tracks could easily rival the material off new detention... in fact i reckon "off piste" is one of the better songs they've ever written. they got a bit of flack in the media with some people saying the inxs cover is "uninspired", but personally i think that's a load of crap - they did the song justice and phil proves that he can really sing when he wants to.
target in hay street has it for $4.75 if any perthies are interested.

Its an okay song, but it isn't really something special. It sounds too similar/not significantly different compared to the original. Covers should at least show some significant difference that makes it stand out more as opposed to the original.

true dave, i agree - but i'd rather listen to the grinners do inxs than hear any of those fuckin terrible dance djs serve up horrific remixes which are indeed significantly different  |

I was devastated when i heard they were putting out a bonus disc, having already picked up new detention but its god you can just pick the ep up for a change. Off Piste is definetly the stand out for me as well. But the cover of Don't Cange is stil a rockin' song - not bad for a fiver!

you love it don't ya? the album comes out, and then they usually stick a bonus live disc, cd-rom thing or whatever into the deal a few weeks/months later. thankfully a fair few bands have been also releasing the bonus material separately lately... the strokes dvd comes to mind. on another note, welcome dymo hope you like it here. |
