Oh dear, I just read a review of a Final Fantasy show in the NME. You would think that a review of about 60 words would have more than 12 or so about the actual performance it was rating? Most of it was about how they thought Lightspeed Champion would be shit.
Nice.

NME don't deserve to review Final Fantasy.

they don't even deserve that!!
seriously, their reviews are so bad. what's to be discussed is the material, not a dressing style or the sweating skills of artists!!

Also, if nme start getting into final fantasy/andrew bird there will be about a hundred bands who have violins in the next year and we'll have more copycat bands.
It'll be like a quasi-classical version of post-Libertines bands like the Maccabees and The Pigeon Detectives, and then we'll get loads of new-rave violin quartets with synthesisers.
That sounds like hell on earth, although maybe it wud be interesting to hear!
I'd love to see the actual review though, just cba to internet search it

a nightmare indeed!!
albeit "loads of new-rave violin quartets with synthesisers" does sound interesting! gotta be the right people doing it though otherwise it'll sound cheap and like produced in a tin can.

It already kind of does sound horrible. A lot of pop bands use this synth called "warm strings," which you might recognise from those tiny white Casio keyboards from about a decade ago, in their "slow, moving songs."
I'd sort of like to see us drop the guitar from the forefront, but not because NME decides to declare something cool.

I finally read the review. I thought it was going to be bad! That Manchester show had the WORST sound, I set the amps up all wrong.
The NME is what it is: a music tabloid. Like US Magazine and Perez Hilton, you can't pretend that you don't love it.

Damn I was away so missed it. Hmmm...perhaps that was for the better. Anyway I only ever skim read the NME in the superstore as its so thin on quality, but I would have at least liked the picture (go on tell me there was no picture)
