    Spin's review wasn't the best either, but I guess I expected that also since the Whigs aren't Kings of Leon or Green Day.

    Black Love and 1965 are brilliant, but I prefer my Dulli either in the Twilight or the Gutter. Doesn't get much better than that.

    It got good reviews from RS and USA Today. I love it the more I listen.
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    afghan huh? haha. yea my best friend loves the afghan whigs, and i cannot see what he likes about them. i just dont get it.

    :o :shock:

    Seriously? Ever listened to Black Love start to finish? I mean really listened, has to be late at night...... one of the most stunningly brilliant, beautiful records ever made in my opinion. The lyrics are incredible, the playing is flawless....just an album jam-packed with hair-raising moments.

    I love this band. Going to see them in Athens on Thursday, I can't wait.

    New album is great. Really interesting to hear the different sounds of the different producers. Angelo Petraglia's (Kings of Leon) tracks sound the best IMO... from a production standpoint. Those would be "Kill Me Carolyne" and "Automatic". This is the way The Whigs should sound.
    All the rusted signs, we ignore throughout our lives, choosing the shiny ones instead...

    And he who forgets, will be destined to remember...

    Mystery package is tickets to a show? Is there anything else. Tickets are cool, but I already had purchased tickets to the Chicago show. Now I have two more. Should have announced this before tickets went on sale.
