Re: New Album announced: 'You Want It Darker'
Sublime piece of work. If I Didn't Have Your Love the only one not quite hitting the bullseye for me (yet). A little too sickly sweet perhaps? Early days though. The album as a whole I'm reasonably confident is at a minimum as good as Popular Problems which I love. Whether it will pull ahead remains...

Re: New Album announced: 'You Want It Darker'
Agreed. It lent authenticity to the piece. I was also a little uncomfortable at him merely describing Roshi as "naughty" when perhaps something stronger was required.
Overall though, a memorable article which almost doubles as a mini biography.

Re: New Album announced: 'You Want It Darker'
Amazing article. also amazing quotes from dylan, i'm not sure i've ever heard him speak so lucidly about another artist before it's quite an honour. im little disconcerted about the section where he balled out the interviewer for being late however- not sure what to think of it but for some reason ...

Re: New Album announced: 'You Want It Darker'
That is some article, thanks so much for posting... As primarily a Bob fan, huge bonus that the interviewer has managed to coax Uncle Bob into giving detailed quotes as to how highly he rates Leonard - but there's so much more in there. My only tiny regret is that the new album itself isn't discusse...

Re: New Album announced: 'You Want It Darker'
It's all gone a bit quiet on the review front. Once the embargo was lifted and the Uncut/Mojo reviews dropped, I figured there'd be a load of them but not much joy as yet...

Re: New Album announced: 'You Want It Darker'
Ms. Simmons also tweeted at one point that after 4 plays she was upgrading her one word review of the album from "great" to "magnificent". I don't know whether that upgrade post dates the writing of her review in Mojo or not.

Re: Title song 'You Want It Darker' now on YouTube and Spotify etc
Not convinced there is an edit after "Tame" because one can hear a very sharp intake of breath before the continuation but if there is one at that point it seems to me to be very well done. Whatever, I'm getting anal again when no need- this is a superb piece of art as delivered: embrace.

Re: Title song 'You Want It Darker' now on YouTube and Spotify etc
Ah yes, that article...not at all sure he's right about that "edit" at 2.06 as the very slight background distortion occurs in the middle of the word "murder" from what I can make out. An edit or splice would surely occur just before or after a word, not inbetween. I reckon it's a very minor glitch ...

Re: Title song 'You Want It Darker' now on YouTube and Spotify etc
It's a subtle detail but I just love the bass at the start of and during the track. Sets the tone and immediately takes the emphasis away from the synth mode of yesteryear.

Re: Title song 'You Want It Darker' now on Spotify etc
Agree re the production by the way, very classy. The. Track itself is in the spirit of Nevermind- no bad thing being the best track on PP in my book.
Think the volume on this album is slightly lower than PP too.

Not that I need it as this is perfect but any idea when/where the remix is available?

Think I'm ready my lord after that...
Second thoughts, I'll hang around for the full album. That was gorgeous and mysterious and menacing all rolled into one. Great way to open the album.

Re: New Album announced: 'You Want It Darker'
My guess is the 21st, being his birthday and the date hat the album release date is to be officially announced apparently, is a more appropriate date to reveal the title track to the world at large. We shall see...
