Jesus and Mary Chain enter studio for the first time in 17 years

Maybe "dropping" is Philly thing

 

God, I hope this one is nice and loud, just as it should be. You can do it, Reid Brothers!

Edit: To celebrate, I have dragged by Blanco & Negro version of Psychocandy out of the shelves, and I'm amused to recall that my copy has two Side One stickers, one on each side. So punk!

 

I hope it's a good, long CD 75+ minutes long so it will be like getting two studio albums for the wait.

It is owed to us.

 

I disagree. While I look forward to the new album, we are owed nothing. Go get Sister Vanilla's Little Pop Rock in the meantime.

 

They never did a bad record in my book. Even though S&D and Munki could you use a little trimming both are excellent records with memorable songs

 

I'll have to get that one. I do have the Lazycame and Freeheat CD's though.

 

, Good God...

 

Yes! But people always bring up "Psychocandy"

 

Hopefully not. I mean... who wants/ needs/ listens to 75+ minutes cds in 2016. Things like that were the reason I went back to vinyl in 1998. 75+ minutes cds are evil.

Besides that they already did it with "Munki". Well almost. But that was in the 90's when album often were too long.

 

Maybe, if we're lucky (I know this is nothin' but a pipe dream) they'll put out a 45 minute album in March and another 45 minute album in September.

 

It might be sacrilage, but Psychocandy aint my favourite JAMC record

 

And personally, I think Automatic could be edited down to an EP.

 

I don't doubt many wouldn't be in agreement with you.
But I'd love to have another record by them more in the vein of Psychocandy.

 

Who knows, maybe the latest tour for Psychocandy inspired them to go in that direction

 

I found this amazing deal for Munki on vinyl on amazon france

10 euros, i think i'm going to get a back up copy.

 

Stoned and Dethroned is also 10 euros

The Jesus & Mary Chain - Amputation »

New song has been posted..its nice

 

Yeah-I like it a lot

 

Some thrashing drums would have done wonders for it imho..

 

It's mystifying that they are using drum machines again.

 

Even more : Fnac.com are seeling those ones for 8 euros each : Honey's Dead, Automatic, S&D, Munki.

A steal ? I bought them all.

 

Sorry guy for Munki : available in shops at 10 euros but no more on the site. Hurry up for the other ones !

 

Amputation is J&MC by numbers. How many times have we heard that intro before? And although I cannot place it now, there is a distinct line which was lifted from somewhere else. I'm thinking a Jim Reid solo or Freeheat tune.

I don't hate it but I'm hoping for more in whatever comes next.
