    Weird. I was JUST streaming their new album online before coming to the forum and saw this. Really under rated band.

    I really like what I have heard from this band. Saw them open for MMJ back in December, and thought both bands were excellent. 8-)

    I love DS, but have heard nothing but terrible reviews of the new album.

    well, only one review so far on amazon and it's pretty good. I'm just hoping it's at least as good as their other two albums.

    Best Rock Album of the Year

    That's right. The best ROCK album of the year belongs to Delta Spirit. I loved their last album "History From Below, but in my opinion it tended to drag toward the end. This is not the case with their third and self-titled album. There seems to be a re-newed urgency to this album and quite frankly it has a much harder sound with a sonic edge. At first, it's kind of jarring... in a good way. In a way that makes you wants to turn it up. There are many standouts on this album: Tear It Up, California, Idaho, Otherside and Money Saves. Hell, they are all great tracks. This album could possibly propel them to a much wider audience. Do yourself a favor and buy this record. See them live if you can and before they get huge. They are exciting to see.

    I really hope that I like it. And I havent read any official music reviews but everyone over on the MMJ forums says it's terribly over-produced.

    I've only heard "California", but I'll say that song is my early candidate for song of the year.

    Seeing them in a few hours at SXSW.
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    Real good band, I'm digging the new album. They just had this cool "bar crawl/album premiere" in Brooklyn two weeks ago. Basically went from bar to bar playing tracks off the new album and then they capped it off with a show at this tiny venue, Public Assembly. Pretty awesome day.

    I saw them play on Later... with Jools Holland last Friday, we watch the show on HBO Plus Latin America with an average of 6 to 12 months of delay... yes, they are amazing...
    ... I am not in the business of being liked anymore ...

    after listening to this album and the new shins album i'm thinking both bands should get together and do a world tour. we could call it the 'mediocrity tour'.

    well that's just how i feel about listening to these recent outputs.

    but seriously, i would actually go to the mediocrity tour. i bet it would be an incredible show. as much as i don't care for the new albums, i really do like both bands.

    just check out the new of montreal record instead. that's the album of the year so far in my opinion. and no one seems to care about it.
