Maximo Park - Questing not coasting

[darkstar79]

The second single from Quicken the heart.

I didn't expect that one, there would have been stronger songs like The penultimate clinch.
Anyway it is a good song:

[Doctor Blind]

I am liking this, it's certainly a lot better than "The Kids Are Sick Again" - I hope this will get them back in the Top 40 but I sincerely doubt it.

[Paddy]

Its a sound from past albums. The first single off the album was a different sounding MP.

I love the whole album, I love everything MP do, so I love this but not their very best still.

a very good song and single

This is the best track on the album, and the only decent track on it, I'm really disappointed with the album, I expected a lot better, their previous albums are a hell lot better. I've only played the album once or twice.

It's alright... 'The Kids Are Sick Again' had a certain catchiness to it that 'Questing Not Coasting' doesn't (unless it's a grower).

c mon guys ...in the "speed age" you have to give some artists a second chance ...maybe?
martin , if you only played the album once or twice how can you say you 're disappointed?
give it another listen...its good enough with many tunes you ll probably like...

imo , best track is "A Cloud Of Mystery" with one of their greatest refrains of their carrer

"thge kids.." was a very good single , i like a lot the raw power of "Wraithlike" , the melody of their new one "Questing not coasting" with their smithsinian (!) melancholia , "I Haven't Seen Her In Ages" a track that fits perfect with the mood of their last one etc

I really liked their last album, but 'The Kids Are Sick Again' didn't do much for me. I love this song though, definitly up there with their best IMO... I remember seeing their TV performance from Glastonbury, and the sun was setting as they played the song. It was a beautiful moment and made a great song even better!

[Razzle Dazzle]

very much a grower of an album, takes a few listens to apreciate it
