I could have sworn we had a topic on this but i can’t find it.

Has anybody had a listen to the (last :( ) new album? I like it very much.
 
Haven’t listened yet. I saw the reviews have been good but thought they might be being kind due to the circumstances. Glad to hear it’s a solid effort. Dolores’ contributions were basically demos. Do the songs sound finished?
 
They sound very much finished. You could never tell.

Emotionally it’s a tough listen.
The opening lyrics are chilling... “Do you remember the night, at a hotel in London...” :(
 
So I finally got this a couple of weeks ago and it’s a fine little album. The final track In The End is gorgeous both sonically and lyrically. I wasn’t sure how complete this would sound but it does feel like a completed piece of work. Reading that the vocals were at final demo stage suggest Dolores might have given it a bit more gusto in final studio sessions but I think the restrained nature of the vocals really works on these songs.
