Almost 4 years later and hey: this still sucks to the point of comedy. Just my two cents.

Maybe she's the best chess player in the group taking a break to bone up on her openings and to let the boys have a go, and if I'm right about what I can see on the board they're making a pig's ear out of it. Is that a white pawn and knight on the 7th rank, the knight en prise?

As boring as it must be to spend time
with the college kids on the cover!

BOOORING! ENDLESSLY!

I'm liking it. I've been away from RP for a long time. Nice to be back for a few hours!

Having now heard this several times, I still think the same thing: the vocals sound a lot like Robert Palmer earlier in his career—before he smoked more cigarettes to get his voice raspier (something I heard in an interview with him once).

With singing like that they could just about be the Kings of the Conveniences.

The "Kings of Convenience" or "The whitest boy alive"-Syndrome. :) Glad to see them live again this year.

Always loved these guys, especially because they were responsible for me finding Feist!

Reminds me of (late-80s to early 90s) China Crisis, but not as complex.
I see that RP only has one China Crisis track in play - (click here) - but it's a poor track.
Perhaps they will play some of their better tracks someday. Several exceptional albums, my favorite is Flaunt The Imperfection.

I agree with most ppl that it isn't very interesting and it drags on. There are many parts that I hear where some additions would make it sound primo. But i gotta say, these guys know how to groove.

sure the outside package can spark the chemistry but at a deeper level an inviting smile, a fabulous laugh, a witty sense of humour, a gentle touch, an uncanny skill of musical instruments, an intimate knowledge of fine wine and chocolate, ablity to speak french fluently, etc, etc, can also spark a flame.....and I must also mention a fast car or a fat wallet too....

Ok, as far as the cover art goes, I am unable to suspend disbelief. As *if* a hottie like that would have any interest in a pencil necked, Elvis Costello bespectacled geek playing chess.

Pffffffffffffffffft.....
