WOW.
Just absolutely WOW. This is by far and away the best thing I have heard all year. Lanegan sounds absolutely amazing, and the way the voices overlap and interchange is perfect. It's probably the best 'supergroup' I've heard, cause it doesn't ride too hard on the bag of the component parts respective pedigrees whilst still playing to Dulli and Lanegan's talents.
I've heard a fair few bits this year which have been pretty great (Nick Cave, No Age, Earth) but this is just so so great. Every song drips with menace, emotion and personality. Yeah, an album with personality. Thank god.
Buy it. Now.
I love it too.
Idle Hands is sooooo good!! :D
Idle Hands is such a tune!
I cant believe some joker on HBS's radio show said they didnt like it! (maybe even HBS but i dont know who is who)
i downloaded it
and it didnt really grip me enough to go and buy it.idle hands is pretty awesome and i love lanegan's voice but i didnt really give it many listens. maybe i'll give it another chance now. suggestions for other album highlights to convince me?
The Stations
I Was In Love With You
Bete Noir
I only bought it today mind!
Oh man
'Each to Each' bliss. That's how you use electronics in a song.
Just announced
Shepherds Bush Empire on 13th August
superb album
idle hands is one of my faves too. I have to say I am a huge Mark Lanegan fan and with Greg Dulli being another heavy weight of 90's alternative I had high expectations and I have to say was expecting a bit. Still a good album.
* was supposed to say
bit more. doh.
well
having just listened to it again, it still doesn't really get past 'quite good' for me. 7/10, good, but not mind blowing
I've been
looking forward to this album for years, it really didn't disappoint. They really were something else at the Koko in February. I might just go and see them again.
Front Street is the best song ever.
They're on Later this week
if you can bear to sit through Jools playing innapropriate boogie-woogie piano with Operator Please.
