Then came "Day & Age" and I was a little disappointed the first time. That way, you can also read my review on this album from 4 years ago.
Oddly enough, I then again really liked the solo album of Mr. Flowers, especially the deluxe edition with 4 bonus tracks that are actually almost the best of the album. After weeks of sound of the album, the plate has triggered something in me that I can not put into words. You just made me move in a way that I can not explain. I was her simply succumbed.
And strangely enough, you go with me to the new disc of the same killer. The first revolutions in the CD player were now not earth-shattering, but bad I found the album at any time. And now hear intense after 3 weeks (with headphones on listening cloth, mind you) they have caught me again. And I can not escape them.
Of course, the lyrics are not lyrical masterpieces, but that does not really interest me. Much more important for me, the melodies, the arrangements and the production. And the drums on "Here with me" is played single axle great, and the song gives me goose bumps regularly on the body.
And again, the deluxe version is highly recommended, because "Carry Me Home" and especially "Prizefighter" are absolute highlights of the album. Would the lack me, missing me what ..... As you can see, are my reviews no lyrical outpourings.
But anyway, for me the album has a special magic, and it has enchanted me. But it is also clear that it does not have any such fare. That would be a bit boring. But the bad reviews, which got the album here, has it really does not deserve my humble opinion.
But it may also be that something has changed at the age my taste in music, which should be already occurred. However, this makes the album not one bit worse!
