Sloan -->> 4 Nights at the Palais Royale - Summiteer - 09-22-2003

Why don't you just download some random tracks? Nothing wrong with it as long as you end up buying 1 of their CD's. I never heard the live album, but I think Navy Blues is just a little OK (although Money City Maniacs casts a loooong shadow over everything else), Between the Bridges is better, and Pretty Together is their best. I mean, it's a little too polished rock for me - for a little more raw, underproduced, earthy feel try Twice Removed.

I guess I didn't do a very good job distinguishing there...

Pretty Together and Twice Removed = very good
Between the Bridges = good, with a couple of truly awesome songs
Navy Blues = you could do without it

There's one other album but I don't have it.

No thats great 57,where can I download a few tunes of theirs? Have you heard any of the New album? I think the new Sloan is the next on my hitlist of cd's to buy.

Twice Removed is a stellar album, and should be included in your collection. Four Nights is a good double album; it lets you hear some songs from all of their albums up to that point. Their newest release, "Action Pact" is really good as well. The first five songs are all good, very reminiscent of Sloan from 8-10 years ago.

They have released 9 albums, so there is plenty to choose from.

As far as downloading goes, you should be able to find them on your favourite file sharing program.

Sloan? The Peppermint EP is the way to go! Underwhelmed is their best song, by far.
