um its been out for a while now (sorry if already disected here but i could see nowt) and bugger me if i keep coming back to it. i'm begining to think its a mini classic. songwrittin plus dance chops. its doing nothing for them commercially and strangely i think its there most commercial release. Is rosin the strongest female role model in all of 'ouse music (not ard house). Are they sadly misunderstood due to one crazy ibiza remix?(sing it, black).

it holds together very very well. i am, biggin, it up.

anybody?

They are truly great, actually.

Actually, I really like this one too. I've always found their tendency to bung one or two decent songs amid a whole bunch of crap annoying, but Statues is very strong. "Forever More" should do the business for them on the charts with the right remix.

Maybe they're less inclined to tolerate each other's bizarre leanings now they're not a couple and have just concentrated on some good songs.

b-b-b-b-but I loved the bizarre leanings. the first two albums I played non-stop and never really got to grips with Things to Make and Do, but Statues is a cracking return to form

Ok, it must be conceded the first album is really good too.

...after having got burnt with their previous two albums which, at best, were noodly EP's, I haven't bought this one.... but every track I've heard has been pretty excellent - so, have they dropped the aimless songless path and gone for a whole, great album this time?

Hope so, cos Moloko are fab - but, in the past, never an album band....?

I'm a "Tight Sweater" fan, but this one feels like horrid soulless pap. It's a preening, putrid turd of a record.

'...preening, putrid turd...' - what an extraordinarily unwelcome image that creates in the mind's eye...

i think preening, putrid turd is one excellent image.

though not regards the moloko rekid. i think its there most coherent album. I do like the tightsweater and you know maybe Rameses Collous was a fave. but dis is ace.

six months pass...

Can anyone tell me for sure if this was a 2003 release? I have found March, 2003 on some sites. Anyone know what the North American release date was?

was there a North American release? I started hearing Familiar Feeling in March '03.

Actually ... I don't know that there was a North American release. I have a fishy feeling that October 2002 was the Japanese release and March 2003 was the UK/Australia release ...
