Still love it! On rotation full on. I don't know what the fuck "overly compressed" means but if it means it's loud, stomping and sounds fucking awesome in my headphones while I commute to work then sure compress the shit outta that.

I cant believe they're still advertising it with that artwork. Blatant false advertising. I got one from the official store last time, paid in Euros (wtf?) it ended up costing me over £22 with postage (which was over a fiver alone!). They sent it out completely unprotected (no cardboard in the mailer), and the PLAIN WHITE sleeve arrived bent. Nightmare. I emailed them a complaint and they did refund me nearly half the cost though. Whoever is dealing with his online store need to get organised. £22 for a 7" is even more of a joke that Record Store Day prices!

It sounds really shit on good equipement. Compressed as fuck. My ears are bleeding. It's meant to sound good on headphones and phone speakers though. Too bad coz the vocals are top. But if the whole record is like that it will be unlistenable on speakers worth more than a couple hundreds.

RTL2, a French radio station, broadcast Wall Of Glass this morning. I was glad to hear it and happy for Liam.

Yes ! i have some neat B&W speakers and most record, even compressed as mp3, sound ok, but this one, wow, it is compressed and over compressed. (Although i gotta say sometimes, even youtube links sound fine, but it's more the case with lo-fi records). I agree mate, doesn't sound great out of decent speakers after spinning the 7 inch also. Yeah i'm thinking of only buying the vinyl this time as well.

Presumed audiophiles annoy me more than fanboys.
Life's too short to be bothered with such trivialities.

There's something a bit empty about it, style over substance. I still enjoy it and have listened hundreds of times but I doubt I'll go back to it much once the album's out.

To me Wall of Glass is the music equivalent of the Force Awakens.
Yes you can't help feeling it's a calculated attempt to incorporate all the elements that made the original so great.
But even so it's still hugely enjoyable and does a fantastic job of reminding you just why you fell in love with it in the first place.

Sucks for you... you should downgrade to iPhone headphones and a smart tv speaker.... sounds amazing on them. Hahahaha.

Go listen to your High Flying Turds you bourgeois snob. Just joking, cheers

Single is on sale on the official store again. If you've missed previous pre-order, quick! Edit: Just got home and have read an email from my friend telling me about it and just saw Jim posted it 7 hours ago. My apologise.

We all signed up for the news letter, yet we all have to find out those news regarding pre-order, gigs etc by ourselves. Where is his management?

Still no b-side. Liam must not be sure what songs he wants on his album. Wants all options.

The song has been picked up by the 2 big rock music stations here in New Zealand... both are thrashing the shit out of it! Heard it 3 times today actually and I only listened to the radio for a few hours this morning and tonight.

Are they a mixture of album tracks and b-sides/bonus tracks or having 22 songs recorded are we hearing songs that won't even make the final cut?

Are they a mixture of album tracks and b-sides/bonus tracks or having 22 songs recorded are we hearing songs that won't even make the final cut? I've been thinking about that. Let's see. Liam himself said there'll be 11 tracks on the album, 7 of which we can be almost sure from interviews: Wall Of Glass, Bold, Paper Crown, Greedy Soul, For What It's Worth, Come Back To Me and It Doesn't Have To Be That Way. Personal thought is that some of the songs like You Better Run and the so-called Liam Rockers are really b-side material, so from the ones he's playing live I'd go with All I Need and Universal Gleam. This leaves us at 9. We haven't heard brass yet and we also know there'll be brass on record. That's the blurry part, but I'm excited. And I guess it's alright we haven't heard the second single in any form yet. Builds up hype.
