If it actually sounds this good, than it's the album I’ve been waiting for them to make:

Quote:
Instead, The Great Destroyer ranks alongside Trust as the band’s best work. The core elements of Low’s six previous albums, countless EP’s, and B-sides are all present here, but a riskier move to incorporate heavier sounds on tracks such as Monkey and Everybody’s Song provides yet another avenue for the band to explore a great length. For a humble trio who paint with such a small sonic palette, Low continue to intrigue and inspire in equal amounts. It’s only January, but it seems the benchmark for 2005’s finest album has just been set.

See, the error is in the first sentence (see the np: Jan. 21 thread). Vocal harmonies/melody are not quite as sharp on this one as Things We Lost..., but the heavier instrumentation is certainly welcome. My opinion may change.

for what it's worth, this leaked months ago- if you want to hear it, it's certainly around.

Right, this sentence renders this review uncredible. While I love it, Trust is by no means Low's best work. I love the new album, too, but I admittedly have some problems with it. Yes, it's loud - great - but it very rarely is tender, and that's why Low is my favourite band.

I'd like to get more in depth about this ...

I'm excited about this release so much that I've resisted downloading the album. I'm a fan of their early albums especially Long Division.

Still, I'm definitely going to get this one, pronto.

Is there a set release date yet?

You may not like this one so much if that's the case.
