    Hi, I believe that Blue Aeroplanes must make good music, i am really 
bored with their latest albums!

    They should make a great album like SWAGGER, at least like BEATSONGS.

    What is the use of doing COVER ALBUM like Harvester? 

    BLUE AEROPLANES must be PRODUCTIVE, not Harverster. If you do a cover 
album, you are finished, they must prove that they should be worth 
listening like used to be.

    I think Gerard and other members should consider this reality from now 
on...!

      is a bit of an old chestnut witin this List, isn't it.
      Arguably the peak of quality engineering was reached with 
'Beatsongs', or
      certainly within the 'Swagger' to 'Life Model' era, but both the 
latter are
      roundly trashed by some connosieurs as being too commercial, 
departing too
      far from the art and sponteneity of earlier offerings.
      Perhaps Gerard is pleasing himself more these days; I thought the 
feedback
      for the forthcoming New new album was that he wanted to include the 
warts
      and boils of the recording process, which doesn't bode well for 
those who
      prefer the wall of sound app.roach.
      'Twenty Five Kinds of Love', for one, certainly deserves some TLC in
      production.
