Will have to pick up the hard copy of this at some point. Third release from this NYC band formed in 2000 with vocalist and pianist Karen O, guitarist and keyboardist Nick Zinner and drummer Brian Chase, who are complemented in live performances by second guitarist David Pajo, who joined as a touring member in 2009 and replaced Imaad Wasif who had previously held this role. Produced by Nick Launey (Nick Cave, Arcade Fire, Talking Heads). I had heard a few tracks off of the previous album and liked them, so I had high hopes here, and they were not denied for a change. A little heavy on the electronic side, but I got over it. Love Karens vocals and she's fun to watch. Not too dramatic, but keeps you watching. Have seen them on various shows. This album was grammy nominated for best alt album of 2009. I know, that's supposed to be a bad thing, but in this case, they got it right. The album reached #22 on the U.S. charts.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Dull Life
Best Track - Hysteric
No Longer No Longer
What You Ask
Strange Steps
Heels Turned Black
The cinders the cinders
They light the path
Of these strange steps
Take us back take us back
Flow sweetly hang heavy
You suddenly complete me
You suddenley complete me
Flow sweetly hang heavy
You suddenly complete me
You suddenly complete me
Oh oh aaayyy
Oh oh ayyee
Hysteric
Oh oh aaayyy
Oh oh ayeee
Hysterical
No wonder no wonder,
Other half, strange steps
Heels turned black.
The cinders they splinter
And light the path
Of these strange steps
Trace us back trace us back
Flow sweetly hang heavy
You suddenly complete me
You suddenly complete me
Flow sweetly hang heavy
You suddenly complete me
You suddenly complete me
Hysteric
Hysteric
Hysteric
Hysteric
Hysteric
Hysterical.
