Man this record keeps on giving. The followup Thanks For The Dance was also short but excellent - and seemed to totally fly under the critical radar for it's year? It's basically more of You Want It Darker... same band, same production style.

actually i forgot what a crazy lineup 'Thanks' has... guest spots from Beck, Feist, Lanois, Matt Chamberlain, Damien Rice... but not overbearing or obvious in any way - it's all very sensitive to the material.plus Jennifer Warnes and Sharon Robinson both back on some songs...

plus guys from The Unicorns and Death Cab? it's such an odd collection of people.

I think I may like Thanks for the Dance even more than You Want it Darker. It's very spare and understated, and some of the lines ("as if there ever was a you") occasionally pop up in my head.
