In a desperate bid to stay relevant, I will be reviewing everything in ‘Twitter’ format from now on. First up to benefit from this, The Tupolev Ghost, with their new self-titled mini-album, (and first release for Big Scary Monsters, who TLOBF <3 <3 <3 <3's):About 23 minutes ago:
This album starts nicely I guess with a build throughout the first track which isn’t really a track I guess. About 22 minutes ago:
Mmmmm. Post-hardcore.About 20 minutes ago:
I want a sandwich.About 19 minutes ago:
Stuff keeps falling off my desk. My phone just fell off! Shit!About 17 minutes ago:
This track sounds just like the last one, but I like it though.About 16 minutes ago:
Apparently this next song, ‘Giant Fucking Haystacks’ is like 6 minutes long. It had better be good.About 14 minutes ago:
It is!About 13 minutes ago:
The chorus kind of sounds like “cos we don’t fucking hate it,” but I’m sure it’s just the title.About 9 minutes ago:
This one is probably the best song on the record.About 8 minutes ago:
What am I going to score this record as? Scoring is really boring.About 7 minutes ago:
It occurs that this review has very little real information in it. So, um”¦ this band are from Cambridge.About 6 minutes ago:
Yeah, this is a really good post-hardcore record. Bit by-the-numbers maybe though”¦ nothing ATD-I didn’t already do better perhaps.About 5 minutes ago:
My arm hurts.About 3 minutes ago:
This last one throbs with the sort of passion that only post-hardcore can really achieve. But, then, ATD-I still did it better.About 2 minutes ago:
I think The Tupolev Ghost would probably be really good live.About 1 minute ago:
I can’t review anything properly anymore. Why not? I hate myself.74% PS: sorry if you like Twitter.The Tupolev Ghost on MySpace
