Album is out here on Friday. I can't wait. Absolutely love the single, and not in the same way as I did 'Take Back The City' - this is much better! :dance:

Irish are lucky!!

Me too! The two reviews we've got so far are so promising!!

 

It's tomorrow for you :bomb: Hope you'll come give us some review of the tracks ??!

Yes, please do! :)

I wanted to wait til the gig to have my very first listen live, but now I'm sure I won't be patient, I must listen to it before! :p

Actually in the last issue of Q, there is the big article, but they spoke also of TP on the 'tracks of the month', they suggest 'the good book' <3 and elsewhere, they're speaking again of the band in a short presentation (illustrated with the photo of the last article I put earlier). And on the review page presentation of new release they basically said that this month was a downer with bad record from Kylie and so on but that TP was the exception to the rule :smug: Q likes Gary, I've noticed that for a long time but all the reviews I've seen so far on TP are really great so no coincidence!

AND there is a one page advertising for the album <33

*has album*

 

I haven't had a proper listen yet (that's for later! :dance:), but what I can tell you is: this is the best thing Gary's been involved in since Final Straw. It's a far gentler listen than I was expecting, but that's a good thing; if what you liked most about the Reindeer Section was the intimacy of their songs, chances are you're going to enjoy this.

 

Also. The lyrics. My word, the LYRICS! I've always seen Gary as a great lyricist, but he's outdone himself. This is 'Northwestern Skies':

 

It's not like it was before

There's a beauty in slamming doors

And the lightning plays in your eyes as it plays through northwestern skies

 

Girl, you were beautiful before, but in the cyclone I love you more

There's a pause and the faintest smile, as the storm rages on for miles

 

There's no answers in the tempest, just a (?) of questions

So just let it take you over so that we can learn our lesson

 

This has just got ridiculous, 'cause it's burned through the both of us

In the crumbled-down cinema, we can hide where we always hide

On the blank screen, project our lives: me as husband and you as wife

As the storm outside dissipates, the screen wipes the ticker-tape (?)

 

There's no answers in the tempest, just a (?) of questions

So just let it take you over so that we can learn our lesson (x2)

 

He had to throw a few tricky bits in there, but everything else is correct. Some of those lines are FANTASTIC. :cheesy:

 

It's all sounding brilliant so far; will keep you updated about it.

THANKS BERNARD :dance: :hug:

Wait, I may have heard that second line wrong.

 

It's '...as it cracks through northwestern skies'. I was thinking of the first part of the line as I typed out the second. :uhoh:

for anyone who may be in London on 14 July itself...

 

the band will also be doing a Live Session at Absolute Radio in the afternoon... :D

I totally agree with you on this point, I've always seen Gart as a great lyricist too! I can't waig to finally here the album; and I can't wait for the gig if course! ^^

 

@kimgan: thanks for the news! ;)

I've just entered the competition!

I cracked that one line that was bothering me:

 

There's no answer in the tempest, just a million other questions

 

:D

Some songs have dropped on YT....

I love each of them...it's simple, rough, 'pure'...in one word BRILLIANT & painfully beautiful :bigcry:

I am trying soooo hard to not listen to too much before I have it in my hands... two more weeks for me!

I admire you, I have no will power whatsoever... :facepalm: I'll only be able to buy the album on wednesday before the gig...so I want to be a miminum prepared to sing a little the lyrics!

These songs are so unbelievably brilliant. :freak:

I'm getting more and more impatient, and I wanna know the songs a little before the gigs, like you! ^^ Don't know if I'll have enough self-control to resist going to the Fnac on Monday! :rolleyes:

 

These songs are so unbelievably brilliant. :freak:

I totally second that! Northwestern Skies is a real treasure! :wacky:

:wacky:!!!

 

 

"The Deepest Ocean There Is" is making me cry. It's incredible. :stunned:

Don't know if I'll have enough self-control to resist going to the Fnac on Monday! :rolleyes:

Me too, I will look it up there in my hometown on monday (have to buy a new SHD card for my camera) but since every SP albums make at least one week to get on their shelves after official release, I don't think TP will ever make it :dozey:

I'm not taking off my wedding ring just yet...

 

:bigcry:

So, to anyone who's interested, I just found the rest of the album. :dance:

Pieces:

I ADORE this album. :wacky:

 

 

EDIT: Pieces is just magnificent. It's real music. It's true music. It comes to the heart, not like all this Lady Gaga or Miley Cyrus shit you see out there now.

 

If any of you have little sisters or brothers that listen to any of that crap, I suggest showing them this album. This album is the definition of real music.

THANK YOU :kiss: :hug:

 

I'm repeating myself but seriously, 'the good book' :bomb: :bigcry: And I love Ian Archer saying 'oh sorry guys' at the end of his song :lol:

 

This album is really a GEM!

Well, I think you have to listen to the worth to appreciate the better later ^^ When you're kid or teenager, I think it's normal to listen to this stuff. We all did! Plus it depends on what you expect of music. Some people just want something in the background to dance or listen slightly and other want sthg more :)

So, to anyone who's interested, I just found the rest of the album. :dance:

Thank you so much! :hug: Now I can have a proper listen before the gig no matter when I buy the album! ^^

 

This album is really a GEM!

+ 100000000 !

 

Getting more and more excited and impatient! Wednesday cannot come soon enough! :dance:
