Is this album any good? I keep seeing it around and I'm starting to worry that it's one of those I only realize I want after everyone else is done sharing it.

B-


three or four outstanding tracks

not my link so I will be as pleasantly surprised as you are if it turns out to be a folder of rude amateur drawings of Kim Possible

Can anyone check on that? I'd be down with some hot pix of Kim Possible.

OiNK has the Leo as well. Nabbing it!

Thanks for the link!

Man, that Kim Possible line came out of left field... or did it?

thanks for sharing this who ever did originally. I went over to their myspace page and it's good stuff. Excited to hear the rest of it.

Woah, that one went . . . Thanks for putting the link up, tho. Anybody else got another lead?

Arc records is trying to knock them down, but this may work.

Rand and Holland - Caravans (Spunk, 2007)

Worked for me. Thanks Austin!

This Ted Leo is REALLY LONG.

And not very good either. Where are the riff-happy hooks? Few of the lyrics are sticking with me either. FOUR songs pushing and past the 6 minute mark. Ted Leo is not a 6 minute long song guy. Pfft. There are a few moments on this I'd go back to, but I'm bummed.

One of those moments, "C.I.A." is really good, but about 2 minutes too long.

dudes, this album is really fucking great

I found the Ted Leo to be pretty strong throughout. My main gripes is that yes it is about fifteen minutes too long, and has no absolute stunners (such as Me and Mia, or Where have all the Rude Boys Gone). but I think that it might be quite a bit better than Shake the Sheets.

Totally dug The Toro and the Toreador. Great balladry.

I'm not really a Ted Leo fan, so whatever, it was a good listen, I enjoyed it.

My sister will love it.

Dude, tell us more!

I like the cover.

A couple of stunners might help me forgive the bulk of middling material and its length. I was feeling very little of it compared to the last two albums, which weren't perfect, but were more distinguished than this.

Yeah, no offense LOL, your generosity is appreciated, but I'm swimming in so much music, I need to make educated choices in downloading. Don't get me running to MySpace. Give us a clue as to what we're getting into.

Maybe I'd be more willing to accept your "this is really fucking great" endorsement and fill up my hard drive if I wasn't so bored by the National Lights album that you put up.

that site is butt. It told me to wait 35 seconds, I did, nothing happened so I gave up.

there is a thread up for you complainers but Im not expecting a folkier NMH meets BSS like said description described. just wished cause that would be really fucking cool.

on a few more listens I am really digging "bottle of Buckie," just a solid poppy tune. it's got a real snap to it. actually this gets better the more I listen, but for some reason the opening half of the album does not seem to try to do too much, and leaves the last half to really pick up the variety.

Ryan Bob, see the thread i made about this album.

i like it. and anyone who doesn't like national lights was not loved as a child.

After two listens the Ted Leo has got me down. It's giving me a First Impressions of Earth-vibe (too long, not enough hooks).

The new Kings of Leon is out there, I'm intrigued.

im getting the new KOL now, hope its bettter than the first song, On Call

new Feist song-My Man My Moon

not bad so far.

here's a track for the doubters:

Does anyone have the new son volt yet?

I'll agree that On Call isn't a good song. Hands down the worst KOL song I have ever heard, in fact.

i'm looking for the new Lucinda Williams too

Enjoy

you are my valentine

Deleted alreay, just like the new KOL. These things are getting yanked fast.

Excuse me?!

Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks funkymonkey80. And Miiilo, her previous album, 'Years of Meteors' is definitely worth a listen.

If anyone has Born again in the USA from Loose Fur I'd be extremely grateful!
