Quite an early leak, this is actually out on the 11th October. But I thought I'd make the thread now.

Can a mod please add the poll, I messed up. http://i481.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/facepalm.gif

With these options:

Brilliant
Good
Average
Poor
Terrible

Done. I really have to listen to this album...

Thanks :thumb:

Would you like me to PM you a link? Or are you waiting for it to come out on CD? I've listened to it twice, just as good as The Life Pursuit if not better. Really good album, but not quite brilliant.

Hm...how is the quality of your copy? I may wait until it comes out and actually buy it, though...Belle and Sebastian are easily one of my favorite bands.

Good :D

Will be waiting for decent links to come up, but how would you describe it as fitting into their body of work?

Worst so far, but still terrific.

After listening to it quite a bit over the past week i've come to the conclusion that it's a good album but is no means a classic or anywhere near being their best album. The first four songs on the album are brilliant, a really good start to the album, but the album just kind of fizzles out towards the latter half. It could have been a lot better but it's still a good album.

Ah now, Fold Yours Hands, Child, You Walk like A Peasant, is as bad as the title would suggest.

That albums great, don't get the dislike for it.

I love fold your hands child and I love The Life Pursuit.
But this one really disappointed me. It's so... Poppy. It has seem to lose it's originality.
Haven't even finished it. Started zapping after a few tracks. Pity :(

I agree that the first four songs are as good as anything B&S has ever recorded but the rest of the album has mixed results. But I've never been enthralled with every single song on any B&S album. I like this album because it has less of the twee adolescent angst going on, which is probably a good thing because most of the band members are pushing the age of 40 by now.
