Apologies, i'm just syphoning through piles of stuff. I remember both albums being pretty strong. I think they were one of only a handfull of bands who got the nobby mainstream plaudits but still actually made easily digestible and fun records. I don't listen to them any more but unlike a lot of the stuff i'm finding they retained some credibility, no?

absolutely wrong forum.
mer.
Heh, "at the time"
"Maximo Park! You do remember them? With the hat, and that one about velocity, yeah? You liked them at the time"
tbh, i think a year's a long time.
i certainly don't listen to any of the bands now that i did twelve months ago.
How old are you?
The second album seemed to get a bad reception
I never listned to it. I liked the first one a lot.
Didn't think much of them at the time
and even less of them now.
I thought the frontman looked a bit like a mobile phone salesman.
Liked them then and now
Saw them for the sixth time at the Forum a couple of months ago, they now have a really strong catalogue of songs and Paul has become an amazing front man. The couple of new tracks they played sounded promising too.
didn't get them until I saw them live
Brilliant live, all right on record. Our Velocity is still a cracking song.
I was knocked dead by A Certain Trigger
Being 13, and having only Franz and a few others for my 'indie' backdrop, they came at the right time and secured a place in my heart.
Second album was weaker, but I turned my younger brother into an absolute fanatic so I got to hear it all the time on family holidays and I still really like them.
But yeah, this thread seems a bit like an obituary.
At the time?!
I hate the way music moves so quickly these days. ANyway. The first album is fucking brilliant, and Our Velocity is the best single of last year, or whenever.
loved the first album
second was not too bad but just not as good.
bamos, stop writing my opinions please
Its really weirding me out.
Anyone remember
those big summer gigs that Radiohead did in a park in East London?
Man they sucked
i hated them, and i've always hated them.
the singer irritates me.
He is very irritating onstage actually
and a bit of a knob off it to boot.
