Aarvid Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 yeah, this leaked awhile ago. fantastic album!! I'm waiting a few more days to get the 2disc set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Heh, I just posted in the NP thread.Lyrically and musically I love it....if only I could take out the female vocal track. She may have a beautiful voice but it really irritates the hell out of me after a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 i'm w/ Peel, it is great but the female vocal annoys me after a bit too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
owl Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Great disc. This is the first time I actually listened to him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I am with the don't like the female voice crowd, which will probably stop me from buying the CD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Steve Brule Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 dammit - im going to see magnolia electric co. tonight. don't they re-air that night's episode at some obscene hour? is it 3.30? anyone know? i really don't wanna miss this. They don't usually reair the same episode the same nite, it's like a few weeks later. I'd bet it'll be on you tube though, and can't you buy Conan episodes from iTunes? Back to the album, I freakin' love it, and think Dawn's vocals are beautiful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighFives Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 (edited) ANDREW WK WILL BE PREFORMING W/ THE BPB CREW TONIGHT ON CONAN PREFORMING A STRANGE FORM OF LIFE. this record is really great. I used to hate Dawn McCarthey's vocals but they have grown on me very much. Edited September 19, 2006 by HighFives Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 her vocals are pretty, it's just i would enjoy the record more with her vocals not playing such a prominent role. kinda like Jenny's vocals on the last MEC record, one of the reasons i wasn't too big on it and like the new one more.

Mrs. Peel Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 her vocals are pretty, it's just i would enjoy the record more with her vocals not playing such a prominent role. That's it. One or two songs would have been nice, but across the whole album her identical harmonies make the songs sound the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighFives Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 her vocals need to be mixed down, they are way too loud. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
El Picador Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 her vocals need to be mixed down, they are way too loud. They're too much of a distraction. I would like this record more without her. I like the songs though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Payroll Peter Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) huge disappointment after superwolf. songs seem good but same ol probs with the renaissance chick singing. totally ruins it for me. Edited September 20, 2006 by Payroll Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rsjbraz Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I think her vocals really improve the record, they contrast Wills perfectly, I hated the female vocals on Master & Everyone since they flattened Will's sound whereas these somehow enhance them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Steve Brule Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Oh yeah, here it is! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fritz Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Oh yeah, here it is! Man, I love youtube. Haven't heard the album yet (buying it tonight!) but what a great song. It's great to see Jim White letting loose once again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Papillon Parade Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I am a HUGE fan of Bonnie Prince Billy/Will Oldham. So, when he releases a new album I like to hold on to it for a while before I listen to it, as a treat to myself. I finally got this as a Christmas present and have been listening to it daily ever since. Oldham is a music genius. Standout tracks for me are: Love Comes To MeCursed SleepLay and LoveI Called You Back I agree that Dawn's voice is beautiful, however some of the songs I would have liked to been just Will.
