Pale Horses

Love this album. Normally, lyrics are something I start to listen to after several listens to an album, if a) they don't bother me immediately and make me stop listening, or b) the music (chords, melodies, timing, arrangement, etc.) is good enough to bring me back for repeated listening's. This album is very unusual for me in that the music registered as good immediately (typical good mwY instrumentation and song structure), but the lyrics starting blowing me away on my very first listen. I don't recall this ever really happening for me. On my third listen, in my car, I had to keep stopping the play so I could 'digest' what I just heard, conceptually. I do like good lyrics, but I usually don't notice just how 'clever' they are until I've heard them a few times. In this case, there are so many lines that are PACKED with so much information that they just explode in my mind. So I had to start pausing and getting my stuff together before venturing into the next intense onslaught. Musically, this album is made of that good, solid fabric that all myY albums are made of - they always sound fresh and not over-rehearsed-to-sterility, but tight. They always sound like they have lots of good music in abundant supply, like they could cut a hundred records today if you just let the tape keep rolling. This is probably an illusion of their style, but its a darn effective illusion. Instrumentally these guys sound like the ultimate garage band. Lyrically, this album almost reminds me of something David Eugene Edwards (16 Horsepower, Wovenhand) might produce - but not in a derivative sense. Lyrically, this is a refinement to the already brilliant catalogue of mwY, but somehow with even more apocalyptic intensity! Wow. So... I'm kinda blown away from by this album. The part that has rocked me the most: "In a dream last night I was somewhere near Virginia, rebuking Satan with ironic faithfulness. Satan turned to me and said, "Eloi Eloi, have you thought much about that cry? Have you thought much about that cry? Eloi Eloi Have you thought much about that line lama sabachthani" I had to pause my iPod and DEAL with that. Get it. Enjoy it.

I bought Catch for Us the Foxes in 2004 but didn't like it then. Just pulled it back out a few months ago and realize I totally missed the boat! I have since bought everything else they've put out with the exception of It's Crazy...false...dream and this band is simply amazing! Pale Horses is my 2nd favorite album. Not a bad song on it! Read the lyrics, do your research, spin it over and over and over! I've been listening to all their stuff non stop since i bought this a few months ago!

Arrived in a timely manner. Record played really well, the music was also great! Very pleased with this purchase.

I've been listening to mwY since Catch for Us The Foxes came out, so not since the beginning, but for a while. Pale Horses is, easily, top 3 best, but may eventually become my favorite mwY.Pale Horses incorporates some of the best elements from each of their past albums: lush, beautiful instrumentals (Magic Lantern Days), some of their hardest songs (Watermelon Ascot, Rainbow Signs), one of my favorite drummers ever, and thoughtful lyrics (I love Red Cow).

I love mewithoutYou! They're a great band and this is a good record of some of their new material. My favorite song is the first track and it's well worth listening too. If you haven't heard this band yet, check them out, they make great music with awesome lyrics!

a return to form for these guys. Hadn't really listened to them much since Brother, Sister as I didn't enjoy what I heard from the albums that came after. "Red Cow" was a great single and really nice lead into this album. Overall, if you enjoyed their first three albums, then I think you'll really dig this one.

Mewithoutyou is a weird band. I happen to love them and think this is a great album by them. You can't explain them, so I won't really try, but I'm pretty sure that fans of the band will love this album.

I admit to being underwhelmed on my first listen. The second utterly blew me away. This album demands you sit down with the lyrics and read them through as you listen, lest you inadvertently miss key lines. As with previous mewithoutYou albums, the work you have to go through to understand the subject matter makes the moment of delayed epiphany that much more rewarding.

Ich liebe diese Band, die bisherigen Alben kenne ich alle. Diese Album hat mir beim ersten mal hören kaum zugesagt, dann wurde es von mal zu mal besser und jetzt höre ich es schon seit über einem Jahr immer mal wieder und freue mich dann.Achtung, dieses Album ist wesentlich melodischer und schöner als die vorigen "rauhen" alten Alben, aber trotzdem cool. Das ist shcon fast so schön, dass ich das ein oder andere lied meiner Freundin vorspielen könnte.Ich spreche eine klare Empfehlung aus, trotz kleinem Stilwechsel

Es un discazo, no puedo describirlo con palabras.
