Good story Pat... thanks for sharing.
I'll hopefully be listening to it on the way to and from the TFC match tonight... but in the meantime I have a recording from their show at MTV on May 15 to keep me sated. If you need a fix, check the tracker now.

Agreed, although Lions of the Kalahari is really growing on me. I don't think this album is as good as Chemical City, but its still a really, really solid album. That opinion may change however, once I listen to it more.

Love at the End of the World, Them Kids (KOS Remix), and Oh Maria have been added to the band's MySpace page.

I just could not resist during this lull in new music releases.

Their new merchandise site is pretty cool:

Corby Wrote:I listened to it on my way home, and I love it. It really started off with a bang and had great flow that carried into the rest of the album. I'm no audiophile, but I'd say it has spectacular mixing/arrangements. It really adds to the power of the individual songs.
Damn rites!
Holy crap does it ever. Bob Rock needs to listen to this. And probably at least 80% of most producers.
I played this on my stereo and it gave me the same feeling I get when I listen to my favourite vinyls. It's warm. No bass overkill, the guitars are pushed up and Sam's voice is mixed juuuuuust right...
Can't wait to get this on vinyl. I'll wait till Sammy comes around to Winnipeg though. And damn if that won't be one fine vinyl cover with that kickass artwork...

Its not to bad, kinda a departure from what he's done before,which isn't a bad thing, It lacks that wicked Sammy bite though,pretty mellow for the most part.
Re: Sam Roberts Band: Love at the End of the World - daylight - 05-24-2008
As usual with him, I like a few songs and the rest all sounds the same to me. I'll give it a few more listens before dismissing it entirely, but I don't see it growing on me much. It's a shame, too, because I was pretty stoked after hearing the single.
Re: Sam Roberts Band: Love at the End of the World - direwolf74 - 05-24-2008
It's a very solid album from start to finish, but other than "Them Kids", no other song really stands out for me yet. I've only listened to it a couple of times though, so I'm thinking this one's gonna be a grower. I need to absorb it some more.
Re: Sam Roberts Band: Love at the End of the World - opiated - 05-24-2008
I find it starts off really strong. About track 8 I start to lose my interest in it
Re: Sam Roberts Band: Love at the End of the World - Tthip - 05-27-2008
Here is Sam's performance from last week on Much Music MOD.
Well at least I think it is - since I do not live in Canada and therefore cannot view it.

I just got this email from Umusic:

This record didn't grab me on first listen, but after a couple of weeks with it and a few dozen spins, I'm now of the opinion that it's one of the best albums of the year so far. I had a feeling this one was gonna be a grower, and I was right. I love it.

I'll second that, some of the songs that I found to be too slow/boring when I first listened to it have really grown on me huge. Can't wait to hear it live next week
