I bought it here on Saturday. The title track is really good and most the album is cool personally I find the bassists songs the let down

The extra tracks themselves I’m sure will be good, but I don’t like extra tracks being put on the same CD as the album itself. A bonus disc is the way to go. I know this would make this release 3 discs though, including the DVD. It’s even more annoying though as 4 of the bonus tracks are acoustic versions of songs already on the album, so even more reason to make the separate. On the plus side, I suppose it will give the STOP button on my remote control a new sense of purpose.
Personally, I loved Agony & Irony, up there with Infirmary. I like Good Mourning a lot, but it seemed too similar to Infirmary and had a few weaker tracks in the middle.
Yeah, ı see your point. Agony & Irony came with the bonus disc and it has more flexible feeling without interrupt main disc. 5-6 years ago lot of US bands UK release came with “UK Bonus tracks” bacause UK has another kind of perspective, feeling and culture that built “Rock” ( Japan has it too, but it’s little weird and frenzy kind of ). Now we have I-Tunes pre order bonus tracks, less people buy cd’s and companys create various strategies to sell physical copies. Bonus DVD’s, codes to download random concerts or demos. As a mp3 hater, ı support this “Deluxe Edition” idea. Especially when it comes this kind of bonus DVD tracklisting:
1. Calling All Skeletons
2. Nose Over Tail
3. I Lied My Face Off
4. I Found A Way
5. In Vein
6. Private Eye
7. Mercy Me
8. Warbrain
9. Blue Carolina
10. Time To Waste
11. Armageddon
12. Love Love, Kiss Kiss
13. Goodbye Forever
14. My Little Needle
15. Crawl
16. Help Me
17. My Friend Peter
18. This Could Be Love
İf it sounds just allright, well, ı always ready to give two bucks more.

Yeah, I’m all for CDs over MP3s too. And a bonus DVD could never hurt. Ordered the DVD version for HMV for £9, so what I expect to pay for a standard album anyway (although I could’ve got the standard edition of This Addiction for £7 from HMV).

Tindersticks - Falling Down a Mountain
Just given the new Tindersticks album a first listen. Sounded good to me. The first track threw me a little, as it’s quite experimental and a bit weird - hopefully it will grow on me with more listens (usually the way with less conventional tracks). Other than that it was all good stuff, other than track 4 (Peanuts), which had decent music, but the lyrics bugged me - I think it was supposed to be funny, but missed the mark.
Anyway, other than that I liked it, and I’d say it generally got better as it went on.

Dear Dave, I’m listening the record right now with The Falcon’s great, underrated “Unicornography”. And ı wasn’t really keen to follow all 20th anniversary thing that they relesed a new song each month. I don’t have that much focus…long story short; there’s a web site called http://www.daytrotter.com/ which you can download live-acoustic sessions of artists like Bob Mould, Chuck Ragan, Death Cab and The Get Up Kids. And I found Bouncing Souls session two months ago and ı really like the new songs. And now ı’m listening the whole thing. It’s not hip as “How I Spent My Summer Vacation?” or up tempo as “Anchors Aweigh” but it’s sounds just great. Producer Ted Hutt is my new hero. First “Feast or Famine” then “The ‘59 Sound” now “Ghost of The Boardwalk”.

I just played this addiction back to back with the a last album and it does have a punkier feel but I wouldn’t say it’s back to good mourning style.
Well they have posted a steam of their album on their myspace page and ı listened three times in this morning and all ı can say, first time ı liked Matt’s songs more than Dan’s. I’m looking forward Matt’s solo album (Not the one called “Demos” which will be out soon by Asian Man Records, there will be proper release end of this year) I guess all the personal hard times, divorce thing etc, shaped his efforts. This record fills with passion. Songs like “Lead Poisoning”& “American Scream” are classic Trio. ı even like super lame “Eating Me Alive” it’s got great 80’s vibe like reading unwritten Brett Easton Ellis novel. Only song ı didn’t like “Dorothy”. I know he’s a huge David Lynch fan but; ı don’t know, ıt sounds out of place. İn the other hand great Andy Cairns nailed “Blue Velvet” thing with sublime “30 seconds”. Andy’s version is about Frank and we will consider these songs identical twins of the dark rock universe. Couples from hell.

Ok, thanks for the info :-)
Well, I enjoyed the Souls’ last 3 albums, but I thought they might be running out of ideas. Like you, I couldn’t be arsed with 20th anniversary releases one at a time, but I might give the album a go soon.
And yeah, Feast or Famine is an amazing album too :-)

Alkaline Trio - This Addiction
Arrived today, nice and early. Just gave it a first listen and I like what I heard. The general sound of the album seems like a mix between Agony & Irony and Infirmary - which is cool with me, as they’re my favourite two Trio albums. One thing that disappointed me slightly though was that there didn’t seem to be many Andriano songs (3 I think).
The two bonus songs were very good, just as good as the rest of the album, so I don’t really no why they weren’t counted as actual tracks - plus they were both Andriano songs, so it would’ve evened the Skiba:Andriano ratio a bit. Kick Rocks, from first listen, actually stood out as one that might become one of my favourites. The acoustic tracks are cool too. I still would’ve preferred all the bonus stuff to be on a 2nd CD though ;)

Not sure anyone here bothers to check out things that are recommended, but I highly recommend you check this out if you haven’t already heard it. Kind of somewhere between The Smashing Pumpkins and post-metal bands like Isis… though they’re hard to categorise really.
