My mind goes immediately to “Island in the Sun” when I hear “The Devil & Mister Jones” So far this is pretty good.
One time through. I think the record is the weakest on songs like “The Devil and Mister Jones”, “The Hardest Cut” and “Feels Alright”. the best stuff here is “Wild”, “My Babe”, On the Radio”, and “Lucifer on the Sofa” a solid Spoon record.
Wonder if the sax played on Lucifer (track) is done by the same person that did the sax on Us on the last LP. Sound is very similar.
Listened to this two times in a row yesterday. Expertly paced and every song I found myself thinking "Wow, this one's maybe the best one" until the next one. Love this band
So far, I agree with this, only I still think "The Hardest Cut" is a really good song. This album is just fantastic.
I gave it another chance! Enjoyed it way more this time, work was kicking my ass the first time so I wasn’t in a good spot to enjoy it.
I was blasting it yesterday driving around with the windows down. "Wild" hit me especially listening like that.
New avatar is artwork from the album. I really want to hear the track “sugar babies” that came on the bonus flexi disc that came with the ‘dinked edition’. Still regret not getting that.
