Belle & Sebastian - Write About Love

TheCunningStunt · 09-21-2010, 02:38 PM

1. "I Didn't See It Coming"
2. "Come On Sister"
3. "Calculating Bimbo"
4. "I Want The World to Stop"
5. "Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John" (Featuring Norah Jones)
6. "Write About Love" (Featuring Carey Mulligan)
7. "I'm Not Living in the Real World"
8. "Ghost of Rockschool"
9. "Read the Blessed Pages"
10. "I Can See Your Future"
11. "Sunday's Pretty Icons"

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

Thanks

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

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.
