Lets talk about them. Who has seen them live?

I just saw them a couple weeks ago, it was a pretty cool show but I would have liked a different setlist and didnt like that they dont stop at all between songs.

This is about the oddest complaint I've ever heard. Why don't you like it?

Too many of the songs clashed with each other and I would have liked a chance to gather my thoughts after individual songs. Plus idiots in the crowd talked during songs maybe because they didnt have a chance between. Worst of all, when the whole crowd decided to sit down, the two assholes in front of us decided to stand even after everybody in our area yelled stuff at them.

I agree that it is a masterpiece, easily one of my favorite albums of the decade. I love to listen to the FNL soundtrack before I go to bed at night too. To be honest, they havent made a bad record.

they;ve made a few really boring ones! The Earth is Not... Is great, though. The rest I don't even bother with, since it doesn't give me anything else that I find all that interesting. It has been a long while since I've listened to one other than the only one I actually own

i always take it for granted that im from Glasgow, we have some of the best crowds in the world. going mental when you should go mental and keeping totally quiet during eits even during the quiet parts, it made the concert 9 rather than an 8.5
and eluvium were supporting which was magical!

Earth is still top ten records of all time, for me at least.

And I've seen them live and they killed shit.

EITS is great live. Mogwai is greater.
