Very good news, although the first sample song (Make You Better) is in the same indie pop vein as The King Is Dead album. I wish the band would revisit the unique Prog/Folk territory of The Tain and The Hazards of Love...but I fear this new album will again have a more mainstream agenda. Still, very much looking forward to it... ------------- "we can change the world without anyone noticing the difference" - Franco Falsini |

I thought the King is Dead was very good, despite not being proggy. I can't imagine them topping The Crane Wife or Hazards of Love though.. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

they fall into my sphere of great band, great music, regardless of whatever subjective prog quotient people want to assign to it. But yeah.. I don't think they could top those two albums in the sphere of progressive rock. One a great album, the second a modern masterpiece.  so why try. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

In my view, the problem with The King Is Dead was not a lack of prog quotient (which I couldn't care less about), but rather a lack of the truly memorable songs that had made their previous albums so great. That being said, they are one of the best live bands currently in the business, and I can't wait to see them again on stage next year. |

ehhh.. after what 5 or 6 great albums to kick their career of with, we can forgive them for that one album.  That is an entire careers worth of great albums for some.Anyhow, the live performances of that album were definitely much more interesting than the album itself. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I preordered signed copies for me and all three of my kids. That pretty much shot the music budget for the rest of the year. I really hope they show up in the U.S. Northeast somewhere. Saw them in KC MO for Hazards of Love and that ranks in my Top-5 best concerts ever! ------------- "Peace is the only battle worth waging." Albert Camus |
