Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room The Human League - Night People

Yes, after initial excitement and enthusiasm I have to admit that one has got bored with it very quickly and it's certainly not up to any of their best.
Whereas I will gladly still listen to 'comeback' singles such as Sound of the Crowd, All I Ever Wanted or even The Lebanon, this one is frankly very disappointing.
Indeed, let's hope for better on the album.
:rolleyes:

Heard there new song "Never Let Me Go" on the BBC 6 music show & I didn't like it that much. The two singles aren't really filling me with any great anticipation of the new album coming out which is a first for The Human League.

As an opposite aside; I bought the limited edition 12" version and it re-fired my interest. I still think Night People holds up - maybe it's because it's such a big, wide, Technicolor disco-number it's incredibly infectious. I love the film/video - whatever modern parlance for 'music video' is also.

I loved Night People when I first heard it but have avoided over playing it whilst I await the album. So I certainly havn't got bored with it.

I think it stands comparisons with the older stuff.

Yes, absolutely.

Another aspect relating it to the older stuff is the lyrics, which are deliberately stupid and hilarious - takes me right back to Empire State Human or The Black Hit of Space.

The more I play it, the better it gets...

Leave your cornflakes in your freezers
Leave your chocolate and your cheeses

Nah.

Sorry all. If there's a choice, I'll leave it thanks.

It means nothing to me. Meh (*shrug*)

I wasn't

I like it. I think is good silly, cheesy fun.

Note I only watched the video once when it first came out and once just now. I probably wouldn't want to hear it constantly but I don't think it is intended for serious listening.

I've just heard Never Let Me Go for the first time.

Disappointing.

Sorry to say but it seems Credo might well be a 'try before you buy' kind of release.

Then again THL have never made the best choices for single releases, so maybe there's still hope...

Actually, strangely, today I like it.
Must be a grower.

THL get The Quietus treatment here.

Quite a lot of talk abou the 'Dare' days; call me a geek but i never tire of it.
