the dEUS thread

Just got Pocket Revolution. Very different from their earlier albums in that it's more of an attempt at OK Computer future-rock rather than Waits-ian folklorism. Still very good although I don't think there's anything anywhere as good as the beautiful "Hotellounge". It's all very similarly paced whereas other albums would veer wildly in direction.
Anyway, thoughts about the band and their albums please.

Liked them a whole lot, first album + e.p.'s all quality, second album good follow-up but patchiness crept in generally to the songwriting effort on a few weak tracks.

Suspected it wasn't going to be worth following them after that as none of the third album singles knocked me out nearly as much as 'Little Arithmatics' or 'Theme From Turnpike'.

Would still see them live now, given the chance though.

This is so good. Why did they change the lyrics?

If any band needs a B-sides collection it's this one

And just like that, we have reissues of the first two albums with all those delicious b sides coming out in March. Lovely news!

I justified it to myself by remembering that 'In A Bar' has been one of my favourite albums since I was about 15 or 16. And as I came to the band via cut-price singles in the local record shop, I have a lot of love for the B-sides on WCS as well.

Just ordered Worst Case Scenario. It's been a favourite for a long time and has been on my list to get on vinyl (if not crazy expensive!)
