WHERE THE HECK ARE SONGS FROM THE NEW NICK CAVE wonder-album? FIND THIS SONG TO BE ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE (with an annoying voice).
THIS IS STADIUM-OPERA - not Rock. Certainly not!

The more I listen to this song the more I love it. For me, there is something about the way it is sung ; the; how do you describe the notes used and how they are put together? anyway, the notes, the voice, the lyrics work all work perfectly together. Emotion is what I hear here and I love this song and hope it continues to get airplay.

This entire album is a work of art. I own it, and I love it for its utter defiance. Of what? I don't care.

Chi-Chi Colour Supplement = good band name. |

A liquid eloquence; reminded me of Thom Yorke pretty immediately, but not in a way he was copied to reach the same cathedral heights: a song that stood beside its students to teach how it should be sung. Thus, lovely.

4/22 Candy the Norwich terrier likes to sit close to speakers when this comes on.   Candy's out watching the Dallas-Redskins game, and I can't get away, what with the Allmans and this wonderful thing too. |

The segue from the Allman Brothers to this was just too jarring. After a different song I might have liked it but coming after "Dreams" it just sounds vacuous and whiny. I will wait to hear it again before giving it a rating.

No, this is not fine art at all. That being said, I really enjoy this song in a "brain-rester" kinda way. I don't have to digest it at all, it's like icing. It doesn't have any depth and it does one thing, but it does it well. |

And again, the adjective "derivative" used as a negative criticism. Go on, then, tell us a work of music that's not derivative of something. No, can't think of one? That's because there isn't one. After thousands of years of music-making by untold billions of humans, there is nothing truly original in music. Or maybe you meant it as a neutral adjective, in which case what's it derivative of? Slag off songs by all means (and this song deserves a good slagging, IMO), but use criticisms that have some meaning, or just say that it plain sucks. Using a chi-chi colour supplement word like "derivative" is just a weak attempt to give your dislike of a song some objective backing. |

The singer has a very irritating James Cagney gangster nasal twang going on.

The Veils have definitely not broken up, but have left their London-based record label, Rough Trade. They have just recorded a self-funded EP titled Troubles of the Brain which will be released on January 24, 2011, and the new songs are great - I heard a rough mix. If you like 'The Leaver's Dance' you should have listened to the two albums that followed, Nux Vomica (2006) and Sun Gangs (2009). They're both great albums, and Finn's voice (and songwriting talents) just keep getting better. It's hard for new bands to carry on working as illegal downloads cut into earnings so much these days - hope they can carry on after the new EP.

I wonder if anyone else here has a variable reaction to this song. I can't think of any other song that does this, and it's the voice. Oddly enough, I think it's really neat that the guy's voice affects me like that. |

I really enjoy The Veils and have only heard them played on RP. It seems like love/hate on the vocals from many posters. I personally like the leads vocals. They're a good band however I don't think they're still together. |
