i was considering buying this. better than Ballad you say?

i'm being a bit slack with album buying at the mo - got tickets to see them mind you. Yay and that.

Haven't listen to it yet as it wasn't a priority.

Not a very useful post I suppose...

Will report back later.

i dunno, i've just not gotten into it. it feels more like a mark lanegan solo album, but with the occasional isobel campbell coo replacing the occasional heavier song (well, i admit the only lanegan i've got is 'bubblegum', so...). i dunno, and ballad of the broken seas was a bit twee-r, a bit folkier and a bit lighter. still at least a 7/10 though

Come On Over (Turn Me On) is pretty fucking good, but nothing else stands out.

It pales in comparison to anything else Lanegan has done.

and I love the combination of their voices. They could release an album in which they both sing pi to 3000 decimal places to a stripped down guitar based accompaniment and I would lap it up.

So yeah - I think it's great but (so far and I've played it 3 times) not as grabbing as 'ballad'.

but it's got nothing on 'Nancy and Lee'

I adored Ballad of the Broken Seas and so far I think this stands up as being equally as impressive, lots and lots of Lanegan, not a bad thing though really. Need to give it a few more listens to decide on it. Excellent so far!

A bit boring after 2 listens...
Will try harder...
