Doves - "Lost Souls"

[Suedehead]

Well I was thinking of getting it, if you recall.

I got it.

It's awful.

I also picked up Fold your Hands Child, you Walk Like a Peasant by Belle and Sebastian as it was going for a ridiculously low price 2nd hand. It's alright, but nothing special. If you're Feeling Sinister wipes the floor with it.

[Krust]

I really think it's a good album. Didn't you even like the singles then?

[Smash]

Is that the album with Catch The Sun on?? Great tune :).

[Evie]

No no noooo, it's great! I can see why people call it dull often, but stuff like The Man Who Sold Everything is SO damn hypnotic...

[Krust]

My mother died when I was 5 and all I did was cry and cry

[Suedehead]

I'd rather The Man Who Sold the World, actually. And no, not the Nirvana version either. ;)

Anyway, I was being flippant - it's not "awful," but it's far from being a great album. Average at its best, really.

Such a strong word like AWFUL always comes with associations

Well, first of all you got the lyric wrong. It's "My mother died when I was 5/ And all I did was sit and cry."

And, second, yes, it's an awful lyric - but the song itself is better than anything on Lost Dull Souls. :angel:

[Matthew]

It takes some getting into, that's all. It needs the right situation for it to really click. It's great.

And I hate to be pedantic, but 'pedantic' was not the right word there :p

'Told' ;)

and Suedey, its never fun having to learn the hard way....

[Indie]

i disagree with the doves.

[Sild]

They were better as Sub Sub...

Ain't no LOVE, ain't no USE! :cool:

[exbrichi]

No, no, It's a good album. It took me a while to get into but when heard in the right situation, it can be fantastic.

[ursaminorjim]

It's...okay. I was starting to get into it when I saw them live. That kinda screwed it up for me.

But if you took the best of both albums, you'd have a very good EP.

Weeeeell, he left 10 minutes after I arrived and had completely blanked him, which WAS a bit of an accident due to being distracted by other people... :shocked: I also saw some guy I pulled before Xmas and also ignored, but that one was alright...he was wearing a hat! I couldn't have recognised him ;)

I'm so in love with Nirvana's version at the moment.
