it's like a more mellow continuation of the abbatoir blues album, which was phenominal. if you check the myspace link in the first post, it has about half a dozen tunes from the new album. so awesome

haha i know the feeling, but i think you'll like him. have you checked out the new nick cave & the bad seeds? you'll be all over that when you hear it mate, half of the new album is on his myspace. i can't remember what tunes exactly are there, but hopefully "albert goes west", "we call upon the author" & "lie down here (& be my girl)" are in the mix. soo good

i happen to have a possibly handy link laying around too...

Haha, I love Nick and Shane MacGowan's cover of "What a Wonderful World." so strange.

tremendous album, really is. you need to hear his last couple though. i reckon their his most accessible, while still maintaining the "awesome" factor haha. they're great exposure to what the man is about & i think if they click with you, you won't be able to help but dig further into his back catalogue

sweet as. hope it sits well with you mate. i could see the new album being a grower to reasonably new fans, but give it that chance, you won't be sorry. abattoir blues etc, will probably jump out at you more readily though

I'm checking them out now. I don't know exactly what it is about his voice that I like, but it's interesting. I could definitely see myself getting into them more.

Been really getting into these guys lately. I checked out older albums first, and then at first listen, wasn't really into most of the new album, but it's growing on me.

that's so awesome! his old stuff is really really good, but quite hard to get into if you're new. when i started with the bad seeds i think i threw myself into let love in & the boatman’s call haha, both great albums however. they're a band that almost defines the phrase "grows on you" haha. on the surface they may seem a little out there, a little different to what most are used to, but once it clicks (which it will) you realize how talented these guys are & also how much melody rings through their sound. not always obvious upon first listens

nick's piano lines in his early material is what i love. often the song will be rocking out with sleazy bass & weird guitar riffs, yet he plays such a dainty little piano line & it really works with the song

The Boatman's Call mmmmmmmmmm

Anyway, new album is quite good.
