Sceamadelica = classic, but...
They're just shit these days, yes?
New single = remake of Fat Bottomed Girls?
Let's have a fight...

Personally, I think Primal Scream should've packed it in when they became a Rolling Stones tribute band.
Ok, so it's living in the past etc. but 'Screamadelica' is still a classic groundbreaker.

Yup agreed.
Didnt like their foray into harshness either (xtrmntr).
Higher than the sun tho...
mmmmm

wasn't that fussed with much of xtrmntr, or by what little i've heard from them since. happy to live in the past too tho
i had echo dek on the other day, to absorb some dubby inspiration for a remix i'm doing.

...oh and i still can't help kinda wishing that they'd had the nads to release a certain track as it was originally and as they'd been playing it live before a certain obvious event, rather than redoing the chorus and renaming it "shine"...
who'd object to a song called "bomb the pentagon" anyway?

Sure, Screamadelica is a classic. Vanishing Point was a messy album, but with enough ace material to force respect. But I think their true masterpiece is XTRMNTR, for all its sonic exploration and rage.
Evil Heat was disappointing, but at least the exploration was still going on. I'm very puzzled by their latest offering. At least, their last venture in americana tribute (Give Up But Don't Give In) made sense in their evolution. Now it just looked outdated (not to mention very boring).
Too bad, really.

The new album is very very disappointing IMO, bland MOR rock'n'roll by the numbers. It's sad to see Youth wanting to dabble with this kind of crap

Not got the new album yet, but XTRMNTR is awesome. Hated it at first, but it's proper rockin when you get into it. When they toured it they were fantastic too - I've seen them play three or four of the best gigs I've ever seen. I'm into most of the stuff they've done before, so I've got plenty of time for the band and whatever music they feel like making.
Looking forward to seeing them again on Sunday.

The new album is full of all the tired rock cliches that the band are supposed to be the anithesis of.A load of old cock,time for them to pack it up.

Yeah it's a but pish alright.
With each passing release that comes out from the Scream, I'm more convinced that Screamadelica was down more to Andrew Weatherall, Hugh Nicholson & The Orb than Gillespie & co...

They were great fun on Sunday. Bobby Gillespie was in fine form.
