Whoa, I like it and I definitely hear the influence. Some people here might hate me for saying this but she's kinda reminding me of Kanye West with this CD. The way she uses samples in a subtle way and recreates their melodies and incorporates them with her own vision.

I haven't been impressed with the work she's done with Polly over the last 2 albums, I'm glad she used Seamus this time around. In a recent interview she said she felt it was the right moment to try something different and used Michelle Henning (John Parish's wife) to incorporate her drawings into the album design. I'm sure she'll go back to her with the next project.

edit: Some nice fella on lastfm sent me a dl link, if anyone wants it let me know since it's not available in most countries (hope that's OK with the mods)!!
Loving it, bridge/end is kind of weird though and sounds a lot like All & Everyone's breakdowns.

That will be ok, as discussed when we shared Guns.

And I'll take it, thank you.

Can you figure out the lyrics after "get ready, get ready, get ready"? I can't. I agree with you guys about the end of the song. As a B-Side it's great, so that was a good choice. But for the life of me I can't understand how The Big Guns got left out? It's an incredible song and it has that communal feel that Polly wanted to achieve so badly - so why leave it out?

I would love to hear The Nightingale very much!

I want the link please! Also is this the only other b-side or is there going to be more.

Not sure if anyones seen this interview, it has no new info really but it shows some of her illustrations and a live performance of the last living rose.

I'd love to hear it too. I can't seem to find it in the States ( ? ).

A happy new album, guys! I'm going to hunt for it, first thing in the morning <3

God,cannot wait to Tuesday for buy it here in Spain the digipack edition! :-)

Can someone please share "The Nightingale" via private message?
