For crying out loud, don't they deserve their own thread already? No more piggybacking on the Outrageous Cherry one.

This was a great year for Volebeat fans. The new record continues their seemingly inexhaustible supply of catchy tunes.

i liked 'like her' heaps too, but i haven't delved back any further yet

what's the fan fave?

Like Her and the Country Favorites records are both great, but they're the only ones I've heard. (Love the ABBA cover on Country Favorites.)

Both Mosquito Spiral and The Sky and Ocean are also excellent. Up North has what could be their best song, Miriam.

Solitude is their weird, atmospheric one. Everything they do is uniformly brilliant.

Love the ABBA cover on Country Favorites.

It's pretty impressive, isn't it?

six months pass...

kind of obsessed with their sad-ass ballads - "outside," "like you mean it," "time travel," "sadness kicked the door in", "they don't write back", "dream come true"...

love most of those. 'they don't write back' is golden

thirteen years pass...

so i listened to Mosquito Spiral for the first time in ages. great record - as said in the OP, they have a seemingly inexhaustible supply of catchy tunes. MS and The Sky and Ocean are my faves. tasty guitar throughout
