i've only gotten a chance to listen to the new South album once but it's sadly sounding just as uninspired as the last album, doh!

But maybe that was just itunes sales.

Maybe as uninspired as far as writing goes, but I think the production has more to do with it.
South says they don't want to make the same record twice, which they don't have to do -but goodness, these last two are a sad departure from that great '03 album.
This one is better than the last, but still way under their potential.

I can't believe you left off Robyn's CD. It has been YEARS, and finally, it is out in the US! YAY!
