The last three songs on Neon Bible
Well, they're pretty fucking amazing aren't they?
I didn't even listen to Neon Bible once when it came out despite being a huge fan of Funeral - I was getting into electro and HypeMachining remixes and ignored the amazing material that came out in '07. Moreover, I sold my Brixton tickets because I didn't want to see them but not know the new material, and a combination of lethargy and amazing campsite amusement meant I missed them at Reading. Such a bad move.
I listened to the album for only the second or third time tonight and I'm kicking myself for letting it pass me by. It's not as good as the debut, but those closing three tracks are just exceptional.
I know people cited it as a letdown, but I reckon if I gave it as much exposure as I did Funeral it'd stand right up there with it. Superb album.
