The Tindersticks are a UK indie band, aren’t they? I enjoyed their album because it was different and gave it an 8.
What is the point of this album? Whilst there are some good songs on here, there are a lot of songs and long sections where the sound is monotonous or lost in a murky mix. My opinion is that a lot of bands make music where you struggle to pick out the individual instruments - it doesn’t matter whether it is indie, country, rock or disco - I will always call out an album for not trying hard enough to bring this separation to the listener.
Pink Floyd Never had this trouble. They could have come across as boring with their epic-length moody songs, but there is generally something going on with the guitar or keyboard that is interesting. Apart from the few songs I picked out for this album, I didn’t hear this effort here. The vocalist and some of the vocal arrangements was better than average for this type of music, which is why I highlighted that fact.
It’s all personal opinion, of course, and I look forward to reading the reviews of people who do like this album and explaining what I am missing :)
