CATS in SPACE - Too Many Gods

[Geoff]

Was there a physical release? I could only find a digital version on Amazon.

 

You like this, mate? Would not have picked you as a fan of this in a billion years.

[Jacob M.]

I liked the first song. Should I listen to the others? I'm guessing I'll be in for an unpleasant surprise.

Oh yes, please do. I think I didn't mind the first song either... I've hated everything since.

[Jacob M.]

I think Geoffrey might be right. I need to listen to some sleaze now.

Haha. Trust me, mate, I am right. I was on board at the start despite them being seemingly over-hyped from the first post, but it did not take long for their true colours to show.

[Glen]

if it was all like the first song it would be great.

[Stefan]

if it was all like the first song it would be great.

 

Yeah, I agree. I really dug the first song, excellent in fact. The second one was good and the third one average.

[Stefan]

[Glen]

 

I actually love that song.

 

Admit I was wrong on this album. There's only one track now which doesn't sit well, the rest I really like

 

Looking forward to seeing them live next month in a small venue near to my home town.

I've avoided this one as the samples didn't do much for me mainly as I'm not into this style unless it's completely over the top.

However, I must have put the right song on at the right time and now a week of non-stop listening has catapulted this into one of the best releases of the year.

Everytime I put it on its like opening the windows on a beautiful spring morning. A wonderful breathe of fresh air. Love it!

They sure are..I have big expectations with this

[DaHun72]

Can't wait for a follow up. The first had such a great vibe and flow, if that magic continues we'll be up for something special!

[CureTheSane]

I started with Day Trip To Narnia.

Loved it.

So I went back for the first 2 albums.

Started with the second one and it was good, growing after a couple of listens.

So then I tried this first one and BOOM.

I LOVE this album.
One of the very few where I don't see any fillers at all.

What a great band - hope to see them live some time.

This is getting the reissue treatment. 

Press release:

'We are amazed that even after four pressings and such success of our debut album, to hear that the demand is still so strong that original vinyls and CDs selling for crazy money, we felt it was our duty to bring back Too Many Gods so all the new fans can get a copy, and at the same time offer up some rarities for existing fans to hear. It's a nice way to complete Cats In Space mark 1, and look forward to new adventures in 2020 with the new line-up' - Greg Hart-January 2020 - Yes, CATS in SPACE are finally set to re-issue their classic debut album Too Many Gods as a deluxe special edition on both DOUBLE SILVER vinyl, and also as a double CD in deluxe digi-box packaging in the Spring 2020 through Harmony Factory via Cargo. Both formats include exclusive never before heard songs, plus some blistering live tracks culled from their 2017 tour with Status Quo. Entitled TOO MANY GODS - INFINITY EDITION , both formats should excite all existing fans and all the new fans joining the Cat Army . The band was fortunate to be able to record all their live shows from the Quo tour in 2017, and the selected results here on both editions are quite sublime. Add into the mix the much requested song Scandalous (only available before as a 7" vinyl B-Side) plus the Slade classic How Does It Feel (featuring Thunders' Danny Bowes on co-vocals) and things only get better. But it is the final track, No Regrets (the Walker Brothers classic) revealed for the first time here on both formats that really will impress all. A true 'skyscraper vocal production' that is a fitting end to the first line-up and chapter of Cats in Space. As the band look forward to a new album in 2020, the sky really is the limit now for this highly respected rock band. Indeed it is very much INFINTY and beyond . Available as: TOO MANY GODS INFINITY EDITION - DOUBLE SILVER Vinyl Limited To 500 Copies (Cat: HFV10) - TOO MANY GODS INFINITY EDITION - DOUBLE CD In Digi-Box Limited To 1000 Copies (Cat: HF10)

I love Cats in Space, but screw reissues.
Happy to downlod any new songs.

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Funny how it's usually beneficial to wait a few years before purchasing an album.

Probably true, which in turn encourages illegal downloading.
Interesting that the whole music industry screwed themselves by sooking rather than being proactive when Napster started.
now they still haven't learnt and perpetuate the problem.
In years to come it won't be such an issue as spotify etc have an endless library of songs and already its pretty cheap.
I mean if I campare my family plan (AUD $3ea per month) to what I used to spend on physical CD's, it's no comparison.
Also, I'm kind of over having to have the physical thing in my hand these days.
Probably time to sell off my CD collection (for whatever it's worth these days)

Being an ELO fan, I had no idea why I never bothered with this. But I am currently spinning this, and I'm surprised. I like it. Too Many Gods is killer. But I love the song Geoff hates with it's Queen-ish chorus. 

I might have been totally wrong about these guys. 

Happy to be wrong. This is on the playlist for awhile.
