Thank you, thank you

I just love how natural these pictures look, they seem so relaxed and happy

I don't believe in the whole " we have to change our sound otherwise we get boring " thing, for me it's just an excuse for bands and labels to go more popular. Usually when " they experiment with sounds " strangely they experiment with the sounds you hear everywhere in the radio...

U2 has had the same sound for I don't know 20 years and they're doing just fine

 I think changing is more of a natural process than anything else. I don't think it's a matter of having to change in order to not get boring, it's something that just happens naturally to everybody. People just tend to change through time, I can say it for myself that I'm definitely not the same person I used to be 4 or 5 years ago.

Some things remain the same, of course, but generally most of the things change, especially when it comes to this transition from being a teenager and turning into an adult. Changes can be impressively huge through this time. 

And that's how I perceive 'Now' - and this album for that matter - as a result from this process of changing they went through, from growing up, from having to live with a new band formation and all the stuff that have happened in the past years for them. I see it as a great and natural thing. 

If they kept making the same kind of music for much longer, I'd probably start feeling it like pretty artificial, sell out music, cuz they'd know that a certain type of song works in the market so they wouldn't be leaving their comfort zone. I love how they took risks trying new things, because nobody is able to remain exactly the same for so long. 

Hahaha yeah, now you know And Catie, I think I remember seeing you around back then? Probably yes haha And thanks everyone for the warm welcome, if I need help with anything, I'll def ask =)

Hey everyone. So I'm "new" here as I just re-joined the boards, but definitely not a new fan.

I used to come here a lot back in the good ol' days, somewhere in 2006 maybe? But I stopped being active on all sorts of online forums and for that reason I managed to forget my old username and, obviously, my password haha so here I am again! 

Quick info: My name is Juliana but you can call me JJ, I'm 21 (almost 22),  I've been a fan since '05, I'm on PFC, I'm constantly on the LJ community under this same username. And at this very moment I can't stop listening to 'Now' haha 

Well, that's that!

See you around
 

Can't you buy it from iTunes? I couldn't get it on Amazon, but it was all good on iTunes.
