If a leaked mp3 is this good I can only imagine what the hq official release will sound like. This is why I haven’t listened to it. I want my first hearing to be the high resolution 24 bit download in better than cd quality. I’m sure the mp3 is ok, but it just doesn’t feel right yet. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slane85 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I go back to my favourite line ever on GL. When Magic leaked two weeks before release there was a similar thread to this, and someone asked 'how are you having a discussion about the new album - it's not out yet!' To which some wag (who were you??) replied - 'We're livin in the Future, none of this has happened yet' 2 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully Sainsbury' s will have it early next Friday morning. It was a surprise send to me last night and the hubby was gone overnight so perfect timing. I have the CD on order and it's arriving next Friday but I'll be out of town so I've been enjoying listening to it early. I am old fashioned, I want a physical format even if I listen online. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But lately all the sax does is completely copy the melody .... There are no original brilliant sax solos....so in that case i agree its not needed ....But i wish there were one or two solos that raised the song to another level the way the crowd blew up when Clarence came out front for The Ties That Bind. I feel like the Harmonica comes closest to that spirit on this record. Between you and me i would have liked some cow bell 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I reposting this on this channel as I can see it's dropping down the forum list.... I just want to apologise to the community for getting into a Twitter spat last night with Amy, which some of you may have seen. Things - as they can do on Twitter - get a little heated, and I regret that. I've said sorry to Amy publicly and privately, and I've deleted two tweets that I'm not proud of... I'm also sorry if I embarrassed the Greasy Lake community, and I've apologised this morning to Karsten. Twitter on most days is lovely, but on some days it can get a little toxic. I should have known better, but I hope we can get back to what's important, which is focusing on the music. Thank you. I'm joining Twitter right fuckin now! If you guys want me to take over the account, I'm willing to do so. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stillilllife Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Good album! I enjoyed all the songs. Ghosts is still my favorite and Letter to you has grown quite a lot for me. The other songs I liked the most on first listen: I'll see you in my dreams, If I was the priest, The Power of prayer, One minute you're here, Song for Orphans and Janey needs a shooter. The song I liked the least: Last man standing. House of a thousand guitars had a promising title and pre-album hype but it didn't live up to it. It's okay but it's my second least favorite on the album. Overall the album is pretty even quality-wise, but the biggest problem I have with it, which has been present for a long time now in Bruce's career, is that there are more or less no memorable choruses on it. Ghosts has no doubt the best chorus on the album so it's not surprising to me that that song is my favorite on it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nicholas Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I don't know how any of you navigate the web and find legitimate sites to trust. All I keep finding are just seeds blowing up the highway in the south wind... Nevertheless, these reviews are getting me beyond excited to listen. Seems to be unanimous praise.

True, but musically Western Stars was not Bruce. Letter to You is the most Bruce that Bruce has sounded since... Lucky Town? I anticipate a lot of "good but not as good as _____" comments but nothing too negative. Has its high and low points but overall a truly epic album, his best in years. 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maccawings Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I don't mind listening early to a leaked album. Bottom line, I am a lifelong, loyal fan of Bruce and Band and I have purchased the physical media(s) every time. This one is no different. I have mine on pre order and I patiently await my official copy. But given the chance to hear it early, I took it 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
