...Catatonia have produced some great albumns (I know they've produced 4 +an EP but correct me im wrong). They're previous offerings include 'Way Beyond Blue', 'International Velvet' from which their hit song 'Mulder and Scully' came from and its success bought them into the publics eye. 'Equally Cursed and blessed' (personally my least favourite) and now their new release "paper Scissors Stone".
The songs on this albumn are great as good as those on International velvet. The on song they have released Stone by Stone is the only one they've released so far and is typical of whats on the albumn. (ie. If you liked that youll love the albumn). Im not sure what success it had in the charts cause i was out of the country (see personal profile) in Canada so could some one let me know. If you havn't heard that but liked their previous albumns...

Advantages: With four Top 30 singles, it is easy to listen to and could turn anyone into a fan. Disadvantages: The only disadvantage is even in the sales in the shops, its still £9.99 (or there abouts).
...Its been 4 years since their last release 'One Hot Minute' and have since seen the departure of Ex-Janes Addiction Guitarist Dave Navarro. With John Frusciante back at the helm on guitar....they've done it again.
This album is just pure chili pepper. It has everything, Flea's(Bassist)funky grooves, Chad's (Drums)tub thumping (and often mellow) beats, John's (Guitar)melodic riffs and of course Anthony (Vocals) blessing the microphone with his lyrics of wisdom.
The album starts with, as John has called it, "pure Flea energy" as the intro to 'Around the World' kicks in and gets your brain in gear. This flows into a beautiful chorus that is as catchy as a cold. Following this you are presented with such tracks as 'Parallel Universe', 'Emit Remmus' and 'Easily' which are all, in their own way, masterpeices.
Then you have the tracks...
