pop will eat itself

Thought it might be nice to have a new thread?

I love it. Watch the b**** blow and Hollow are amazing. They're both new to me really. I know hollow was on the noisebyte but it's new to me.

I think there was a little mix up on the release and it should have come out at the stroke of midnight.

Great stuff really looking forward to hearing these live too. Proper angry/snarling poppie stuff.

Love the main track. Hollow I think I need to hear few more times. Love the mask remix.

Need to give the other tracks more time tho

Finally listening to it on my home sound system. WTBB sounds amazing loud, it's going to be a killer track live.

Just finished listening to it for the first time and regarding the non-remixes, first impressions are that the title track is great, Babylon RIP is good but think it could've done with a little more oomph, and I like the last two minutes of Hollow, I'm not much of a fan of that chorus.

This is probably the first time in a very long while where I acutally like all of the remixes, most remixes I hear these days are pants but these ones are great. Mask wasn't a particular fave off New Noise but this version is so much better than the original I think.

Right, playing it through again...

I'm in the process of writing a review, which in itself brought an interesting conundum: when the Pledge started it was "Watch It Blow EP" but when released and indeed in the ID tags it was "Watch The Bitch Blow EP", so after a quick tweet question, the band replied:

"It did start as Watch It Blow EP but artwork was saying WTBB, so we thought f*** it, WTBB is main track, so it's cool either/or @zawtowers"

So there you go - everything's cool (literally!)

Anyway, the title track is absolutely killer - it really is going to be good to hear that live and see how much energy is put into it. It also harks back to some of the material on A Lick of the Old Cassette Box, it has that same anger with reason feel. Hollow is pretty epic, liking that more with each listen. Still undecided about Babylon, but the remixes are all decent, especially the Mask one.

I'll post a linky to review when done.

Review now up here:

I've been pretty fair, I hope.

I like the direction they're going in here (Which is more in reverse than forward to me at this point) but is it just me or is the production on this EP super flat? The lows sound flat and the highs sound out of place, almost like a very poorly compressed file (listening to the FLAC version).
Besides the sound quality this gets me super exciting about their upcoming full length.

Man. I just downloaded it from the pledge site! Can't wait to hear it later tonight. Might try an get a sneaky stick for it! Gotta say all this banter is getting me quite g'dup for it!

Don't think I can be bothered writing a review for it tho...

On the fifth or sixth listen, something like that, I take back what I said about Babylon lacking something, it's top notch (Mary's backing vocals kinda bring @440's Ain't Talking 'Bout Dub to mind).
