Wow, is it THAT good? I'll put 'em on my list of future bands to check out....

I'm a major pop whore. If you're into pop music at all you'll love it. People who like their earlier, noisier work aren't that thrilled about it though...:\

I grabbed 'Lust Lust Lust' a little over a week ago and was pulled in by the heavy weight, and distorted guitar. I really like the album. Sounds like you think this next album ditches some of those elements? I'll have to see if 'In and Out...' agrees with me...

Yeah, there's really just one "noisier" song on it. They've been drifting towards this "poppier" sound with the two 2008 EPs...

That might just rule me out then. I think i'm gonna give it a shot anyway.

Sometimes there's nothing greater than a good catchy pop song..... if it's done well, of course... these guys might just be the kinda band for that!

I really like their new album, but it more or less completely disposes of the noise aspects of their sound. It's fantastic pop though, and Gone Forever and Last Dance are two of my favorite songs to listen to when I feel like **** and can't do upbeat music. I think I might enjoy it more if the beginning of this year had played out a bit differently.

I listened to the new one through and it's pretty decent. I may even prefer it to Lust, Lust, Lust.

I saw the Raveonettes at the San Diego Miller Lite Independence Jam 4-5 years ago and they were amazing! So much energy.

I'm seeing them this Saturday. They're playing with the Black Angels (don't know them). But I am extremely excited. Unfortunatly I don't think my cousin will be drumming with them that day. But I think he still plays whenever they tour Denmark.
Also, they better play a few songs off Lust Lust Lust. That album is my obsession. I would want them to play Hallucinations, Lust, Dead Sound, The Candy, and The Beat Dies. Hell actually I love all the songs off that album.
