"Simple Pleasure" and "Can Our Love" are uneven, but do feature some outstanding songs (the closers, "CF GF" and "Chilitetime" are the standouts). "Waiting For the Moon" was an incredible return to top form, containing exceptional tunes delivered in every style the band has used throughout their career. It's probably superior to "Curtains", but I'll need some more perspective (=passage of time) before deciding for sure.

i think i agree with this but there are individual tracks you need from after that. "Dying Slowly", "Trouble Every Day"...

quite shocked to see my own post from just a year ago where i claim that only I and II are essential. i don't think i could live without any of their albums now.

Dusted off their first two albums, reminded of why I loved them so much etc.Also, their cover of Kathleen is something to die for.

^loved that film.
looking forward to a new tindersticks but it's a bit soon after the last one to actually get excited. i liked the last one a lot though.
― jed_, Thursday, 7 January 2010 23:52 (fourteen years ago) link
Is that the one about the love doll? I did like that movie.
― Jacob Sanders, Thursday, 7 January 2010 23:55 (fourteen years ago) link
I actually thought the last one was a career lowpoint. The loss of three members including Hinchcliffe did them no favours. I've been a fan since the early days, it was great to see them come back after the split but it's just not the same band I fell in love with anymore.
― anagram, Friday, 8 January 2010 05:33 (fourteen years ago) link
Loved the last album after a while, this one's a disappointment. Two or three keepers and a lot of dreck.
― Simon H., Friday, 8 January 2010 06:48 (fourteen years ago) link
the idea that i didn't know there was a new album makes me feel oddly sad. any details?
what's the film above?
― djh, Friday, 8 January 2010 11:32 (fourteen years ago) link
Lars and the Real Girl but i'm not sure of its significance here.
― jed_, Friday, 8 January 2010 11:48 (fourteen years ago) link
perhaps it's a pointer to stuart staples current image?
― djh, Friday, 8 January 2010 12:03 (fourteen years ago) link
You're forgiven – we're getting ahead of ourselves here, it's not actually out yet. Release date 25/1 in Europe and 16/2 for the rest of the wide world.

i can't believe i never contributed to this thread. the first album ruled my world when it came out, after that the returns diminished quickly. i didn't listen to anything past the third album, i think. what attracted me to them was a blood and flesh like quality of the music. i had not heard something like that before. perfect night time music. i also loved the length of the album. it must have been 78 minutes or so, every second of the cd format was used. and additionally there was no inessential song. after that it could only go downhill. i especially got bored by the singer's voice.

Sadly for you, you jumped ship at just the wrong time. The fourth album is an absolute delight, brimful of short, snappy and soulful tunes. I love the first album as well but I wouldn't say there were no inessential songs on it. same goes for the second and third albums, both of which top 70 mins if I recall correctly.
― anagram, Friday, 8 January 2010 13:58 (fourteen years ago) link
It's wasn't until Curtains that I really started loving the Tindersticks, Simple Pleasure, Can Our Love, and Waiting on the Man are my favorites. The Hungry Saw sounds almost uninspired, like band just wanted to put an album out. The new one didn't surprise me much either. Not as bad as the last one, but I guess they aren't the same band anymore.
― Jacob Sanders, Friday, 8 January 2010 17:22 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah the fourth album is the best, i think. everything after that has been increasingly dull. some of it verging on self-parody (though honestly they were flirting with that with their 2nd album).
― figuratively, but in a very real way (amateurist), Friday, 8 January 2010 20:43 (fourteen years ago) link
and yeah the big change for me was after they lost their drummer, who i think was the best thing about the band.
