Great album, Charlatans back on form April 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Actaully, this is the second review I've written for this album, Amazon chose to ignore the first, so here goes.
Firstly, this is a knock-out album that stand out on its own merits, and really sounds like something they enjoyed making. I've tried to pick out some standout tracks and came up with Oh! Vanity, BIRD and A Day For Letting Go. Umm...and You Cross My Path and Missing Beats. Actually the only track I don't like is 'My Name Is Despair', which doesn't seem to fit as it's down-tempo and negative. Cheer up boys - your makeup is running.
Anyway, great album, lots of soaring organ work (I'm a sucker for a Leslie'd up Hammond) great vocals from Tim Burgess and a very together sound.
My next point is that this whole album is (was?) available as a free download from XFM. Having not bought the last 2 Charlatan albums after being very disappointed by 'Down at the Lake' I downloaded YCMP - what the hell, it's free - and was so glad I did. I love it. Now, seeing as I have it for free on my PC, why buy it? Well, there are several good reasons:
1. the CD is a double with live tracks that weren't on the download,
2. compressed mp3's just don't sound as good as CD's, and don't forget that CD's themselves are compressed (this is known as "cascaded compression") so if you're listening on a PC or boombox you might not notice, but on a Linn outfit you will, and
3.the killer - this music is worth 10 and unless you want to listen to manufactured pop-idol pap for the rest of your life, you need to support these bands financially. And if you just can't, well, enjoy!
So, an interesting move from the Charlatans and Cooking Vinyl. Good to see something different from a well known band whilst the music business, with the stark choice between change or destruction, seems hell-bent on choosing destruction.
