The Fiery Furnaces - Widow City

[redsplitwig]

Even with their amazing live shows, I had pretty much given up on the Fiery Furnaces albums. The last two were crappy and couldn't even come close to the great Blueberry Boat. Widow City is the new one and it's great. Very dense, but less grating than the grandmother album or Bitter Tea. Anyone else listen to this?

I want to get it. I've been waiting for it to come up on eMusic, but it isn't for some reason, which is weird because eMusic does have the Thrill Jockey label.

Their albums are a slog, but I really dug them when I saw them live last July.

I haven't listened to them in a couple years, but i may have to check out the new album. Should I?

Bitter Tea was pretty good. The grandmother album wasnt that bad...
