I bought their first album - "Sparkle and Fade" or something its called - on the strength of a couple of their songs. Heroin Girl and something else (unforgettable album obviously ;-)). Very disappointing in the end, I've steered clear of them ever since. A mate of mine just ordered the new one so I'll be having a listen to that I guess.

Live's album "The Distance From Here" is fantastic, probably the best album I bought last year. I'm quite into Live as it goes, Dolphin's Cry is the most commercial song on the album, and not even the best, so check it out Carl. You've gotta check out "They Did It For Love", fucking unbelievable!

And to my most anticipated album of the year, also mentioned in this thread, the new Marvelous 3 album. Can't wait for that. I haven't been able to relieve my stereo of Hey! since I bought it and I've been hanging for the new one forever it seems. I've heard a few sound bytes and I reckon I'm going to enjoy it. Don't suppose anyone knows the release date please?

Cheers and beers
