January 22, 200916 yr Absolutely love that cover! :o Really liked 'O Valencia!' by them - downloaded the last album, but haven't really listened to it much tbh 'The Rake's Song' from the new album is free on their myspace
January 22, 200916 yr Author :wub: tracklisting added. http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/client_images/kanyewest/3106_ba6f73a09cdd6984d12d5b929921b705.jpg Kanye loves :o
March 8, 200916 yr Yesterday's news Jonny. [/jake] :drama: I'm about to have a listen now; I didn't get to it yesterday as I was doing my chart.
March 8, 200916 yr :( Tell if it is good. I've never been able to get into them that much, although 'Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Them)' is great.
March 8, 200916 yr Author Geez, this is dense... o.o I'll get back to you in like...a week haha. DID SAY YESTERDAY Fecking complex music like |:
March 9, 200916 yr I really don't know what to think. On first listen it has a brilliant few songs at the start, but then DROPS considerably. Perhaps it's just a bit too long and optimistic? Definitely will be giving this a few listens though, it deserves it.
March 10, 200916 yr Does anyone think I'd like this? A friend of mine said I should listen but I'm not so sure. Seems a bit MUCH for me :/
March 13, 200916 yr Author This is so so so fantastic. It's beautiful, captivating, saddening, touching, brilliant, clever, epic, up and down, down and out and resiliant. Pretty much a fücking epic rock opera. AMAZING.
March 23, 200916 yr ^ :o In the Times' TV paper (I know, probably not as much of a professional opinion as Pitchfork) it was given 5 stars and they said that it's the best folk- rock album in the last 20 years! I've only had it a couple of days, still don't relly know what to make of it - it'll definitely need a few more listens!
March 24, 200916 yr Author The Pitchfork review doesn't even make sense when you read it. Really poor review. Loveliness still :wub:
March 31, 200916 yr ^ Isn't that what most folk do? :o I adore this album <3 Especially 'The Wanting Comes In Waves/Repaid'. It makes me feel happy/sad all at the same time.
April 1, 200916 yr LOL, sadly yes. :( It's a really nice album. The storyline sometimes interferes with the music quality but overall it's very solid with some stunning tracks. The one you mentioned is great.
