Embrace - remember them?

RE*AC*TOR

Jesus - talk about memory lane. Don't think i've listened to them in about 3 years. Apparently they'r ereleasing a new single, "Gravity" at the end of August. What are the odds they'll be as good as they used to be - the odds are probably against it, but here's hoping...

Its written by Chris Martin, so could do well. It will get airplay anyway.

Their first album "The Good Will Out" is an absolute classic album!

I think I'll be having a listen to it when I go home tonight!!

Although they went steeply downhill at the first album!

I loved the first album too, I'm sick of Chris Martin writing songs for people

No way, these guys suck! The lead singer hasn't a note in his head, I remember him 'singing' live at Glastonbury one year, it was the funniest piece of television I ever saw! and then there was the 'comeback track' "Hooligan" an annoying piece of crap!

i like hooligan!! every to their own i suppose

Embrace are on the come back. They are good friends with Chris Martin and it was he who decided that it didn't sound like a coldplay song and that Embrace would do a better job at it. I have Gravity playing non stop on the computer and I have to say it's a fantastic song. It still has the piano part that Chris Martin used when he played it live. I'm listening to The Love It Takes from the Drawn From Memory album. Best song imho would be either My Weakness Is None Of Your Business or Retread

I'm actually listening to The Good Will Out now. That song reminds me of when he jumped down from the stage on witnness and a gig in the Olympia and I managed to shake Danny's hand at both gigs. I met the guys a few times before and are real nice fellas to meet.

I dunno - I thought the 2nd album was very good. Went on holidays September 01 with some friends - we brought a cd player and that was one of the few cds we brought - must have listened to it 30 times in the two weeks. It was one of the few that the men and women would agree on. Sure if I had my choice I'd put on the dillards, but you know women and their desire to listen to Destiny's Child and other similar rubbish - Embrace was good common ground.

Fair enough. Maybe it was a grower?

Yeah - probably true - often happens - an album that could otherwise be considered dull can be elevated to a greater status by repeatedly beating it into yourself - i've often tried the I'm going to listen to this until i like it - tried it with St. Anger - didn't work
