Awesome record. Must pimp it more.

Spoon stamp all over these guys.

You all need some Disco Inferno in your lives.

That's alarming regardless of its sincerity or lack of.

That "best group of musicians ever to play as a band ever" line is completely and utterly ridiculous and I imagine even Waters and Gilmour themselves would laugh it out of the room.

Cheers then!
