In my opinion:    The design is too busy.

It's not my style of webdesign.

Not sure the homepage is finished yet as the photo-strip seems to overlap the tour dates section a bit (unless it's my settings playing up). And I'm not sure why there are two "New Model Army" headings, with the new one overlapping the old one. Hopefully it will be tidied up soon...regarding the forum, black/red lettering on dark grey is a bit hard to read. I do like the wood effects though.

Don't mean to be critical by the way - a change is good every now and again.  :)

You have some issues due to cached style sheets, probably. Do a CTRL+F5 if on pc, Apple-R if on Mac to force your web browser to update its cache. That ought to resolve the weirdness.
The things that you thought were so cool were just a joke to everyone else

I like change, change is good. The band has a new face so why not the website? in a few days everyone will have forgotten how it was before anyway  :)

I like it - you've a few minor issues, such as black on grey (see this thread for an example) and other colours that don't work too well together, but aside from these it's a job well done!   :)

A change is always good (as Justin says, if you're not changing you're already dead), and like the background wood effect. 

As has been mentioned, there is the issue with some of the contrast (red text on black, black text on grey, etc.), that should probably be reviewed.

I guess it's a matter of getting used to it but I will, it looks good!
The former design was a bit too "30st anniversary" related, maybe ... and it's already 31 years!
I really like the red & blue/petrol colours and it's amazing how they have managed to put Ceri in the picture where Nelson used to be. At the same time this new picture gives me a sad feeling cause Nelson is gone. But yes I know, the band has to move on cause we all want them to release a new album and even more, play live.

Its not workin gon my laptop yet. Bits of it are overlapping, some of it is the old site, some of it new and the photos are different sizes. Teething problems I guess.

Also I shall probably be avoiding the forum when hungover in future......
