Common Dreads - opinions?

[Vanguard_Ex]

Any fans of the band Enter Shikari will know that their latest album Common Dreads came out today. I got it on pre-order (I love you, Amazon) and personally think it's awesome just from the first 4 tracks.
I know this will be a very subjective thread but what the hell, any ES fans here that have got/want the album?

I've heard of the band. Could you maybe post a youtube video of them or something, for us Enter Shikari virgins?

I thought this thread was about the OP asking wether he should grow dreadlocks.

Absolutely freaking awesome!!! Ordered the limited edition bundle (the album + live DVD, another signed live DVD and an awesome t-shirt) and it arrived 2 days ago!

It's got a much cleaner, brighter sound than 'Take To The Skies' with an ongoing sense of positivity throughout. And it's a lot more electronic based than the first album. The tracklisting is very well structured, and the songs themselves are composed much better.

Favourite tracks: Wall, Hectic, The Jester, No Sleep Tonight (which is currently in my head)
The rest: Still awesome, but not quite as awesome/more mellow than the above 4 tracks

He should.

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

Never heard of 'em.

 

[Andalusa]

I pre ordered it.
I love it.

 

[Tehpwnsauce]

Never heard of 'em.

Ditto.

He should.

Only if he's not white.
White dudes can't pull off dreadlocks.
Ladies of any color just should not try.

I dunno, my greb friend looks pretty good with his and he's whiter than a sheet.

I thought either that or he meant 'dread' as in 'fear' so was asking what people are commonly afraid of.

Gotta disagree, the singer of Shadows Fall can pull them off quite well.

I'll be honest - I'm not sure what "gerb" means.

Anyway, I YouTube'd a few of their songs, and it's alright stuff.

Firstly its greb not gerb. And they're a sort of like metalheads only less hardcore.

I thought the same thing!
On that note, you have ten hours to move out of my head or else I'll murder your pets.

I have 2 cats, I know you wouldn't murder them.

...I prefer white ladies with short, spiky black hair.

As always, it seems our tastes differ.

I tried to stay out your head, but...

"Greb" is short for "Grebo" in the UK. I have no idea what one actually is, but back in school anyone who was into Rock/Metal/Indie etc. as opposed to Rap, RnB, Hip-Hop, Pop etc. were called one.

I do believe you have made a grevious tactical error.
That is not the singer of Shadows Fall.

It is Cthulhu.​

Well the similarity is there, there's no doubt about that.

S'what I'm sayin'.

Yeah but it does go to prove that both whites and monsters can look good with dreadlocks

 

[Andalusa]

Also, do not tell me what I would and would not murder.

But you wouldn't murder cats [http://izismile.com/img/img2/20090225/cats_34.jpg]... would you?

Why can't you just call them "indie kids" or the equivalent for the others?
RIDICULOUS WORDS, MAN.

Also, do not tell me what I would and would not murder.

I never used the term *shrugs*. Chavs are stupid, what else can I say.

Also, do not tell me what I can and cannot call people. (trying to keep a straight face here)

 

[Andalusa]

...
*sigh*
No...

Good, because if you did, then I'd have to murder you.
