    Does the new(ish) Stereophonics song annoy anyone else?

    What is with Stereophonics? Its like they're the 'rock' band that its ok for 98fm / FM104 and all the other stations aimed at the cloth-eared general public to play. They are so middle of the road its almost painful.

    Please no more songs about your hotel lifestyle Mr Raspy-Voiced Welsh Midget.

    I think its a good enough song, and its production is great, there are sounds in there I have never heard before!

    Its hardly Brian Eno. Its the usual Stereophonics dirge with an arpeggiator banging away in the background.

    I think Word Gets Round and Performence and Cocktails were full of quality tracks. I can count on one hand the decent tacks on all the albums since then!

    Yeah its strange, its as if fame changed Kelly. I love the way all the songs on WGA are just about stuff that used to happen to them and people they knew.

    Then on JEEP there was stuff like that awful song that talked about all the famous people!terrible stuff!

    I'm not a big fan, I like stuff of the first two albums (JEEP stank in my opinion), but I really like the new song, its simple but I think it works

    Pity this "road" isn't the M50. No time for them whatsoever.

    Sleepy Music,

    First album was good, second was ok, and the rest are the same crappy sound, poor lyrics etc.
