Just getting round to spending some proper time with the latest from Black Country, New Road and Black Midi. Both are so so good, but, I am particularly loving the Black Country, New Road record.
I had a listen this morning and pretty disappointing. Loved Mirrorball and the idea of playing the last album straight but there is not enough ideas or character. The third tune sounds like they have had to fool themselves into writing an AM tune via the dirge synth. The middle is very samey.
Reminds me of Ashcroft's early stuff where you're so desperate to hear an electric guitar and some energy that you're trying to forgive the fact what is presented is so bland. He already done this jive better with the Shadow Puppets. Time to move on.

Hahahahahaha! The Last Shadow Puppets records were OK. This is a different beast. Ten times better.
