- Darkness at noon, or any other time
Occasionally the abject unfairness of life is made only too obvious. That an ex-junkie, jailbird, bailiff should have possibly the finest deep voiced gravelly croak since Tom Waits is surely a kick in the teeth for all the wholesome, skinny-jeaned wannabe rock gods out there. Not that ML would care, or even notice. The Soulsavers duo have hitched their star to Lanegan on this album and when it's good it's very very good. Revival sounds like it's been around forever, the new version of Kingdoms of Rain is equally spine-tingling but without even the hint of redemption you glimpse at the end of the album opener. In between nothing really stands out,there's some pleasant enough electronic noodling, which doesn't really prepare you for the album's ... Read More:

- All that glitters is not gold ...
At times, `It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way You Land' is an unsettling and almost uncomfortable listening experience (the rumbling screams and yells within the incredible Paper Money, which literally send shivers down the spine). The music is richly textured ... steeped in soul, gospel and the blues. It's often reflective and demands further attention, yet at times you feel like you're eavesdropping on pleas of forgiveness (opening epic `Revival' and `Spiritual', where Lanegans refrain of "Jesus, I don't want to die alone" sounds like the appeal of a dying man).

The slow burning intensity of opening track `Revival', is unrivalled by any track this year. When Lanegan poses the question: "Why am I so blind with my eyes wide ... Read More:

- Beware - buying this album could cost you a fortune
I can add nothing to the excellent reviews already submitted. I described it to my wife as "the album the Alabama 3 have threatened".

I saw Soulsavers with Mark Lanegan at the Bush Hall, and the intensity of the sound was beyond belief.

If you buy this album, and are not familiar with Mark Lanegan's work (I came to him via Isobel Campbell) then you may well, like me, be embarking on a voyage of discovery. Which will be a good thing, and not involve anything resembling an indie (boy) band.

- Diamonds' shining there...
Well this is either all a strange coincidence or this is a bloody good album, so it's probably that last thing. I also (hangs head in shame) was not aware of Soulsavers and was pointed at this album by a friend who knew my fondness for Mr. Lanegan and if you have Dust, Scraps at Midnight & Bubblegum in your collection (and if you don't shame on you) then you need to get a copy of this as well. This is without doubt the best album I've heard in a long time, bringing together different genres of music effortlessly and so interestingly that it leaves you wanting more and finding more after each listen.

I can hear shades of NIN in some of the music but it is more complete, more rewarding than anything I ever heard from Mr. Trent. And ... Read More:

- The 'Revival' is indeed complete.
In spite of Jason again doing a better review job than I could hope to, I must add my tuppen'th. I do, however, have to start with an apology to the Soulsavers duo. I only came to know of them because someone who knows I like Mark Lanegan pointed me at this record. That person is due a large Christmas present this year, and Soulsavers first album has been ordered forthwith!

This is an awesome, beautiful, and very, VERY moving record. The whole thing could not be more appropriately titled. Lanegan's world-weary voice here sounds typically lugubrious, yet perversely happier than ever to still be alive.

If your preferred tracks on Bubblegum included Morning Glory Wine or Strange Religion; if you own any Spiritualized or Alabama ... Read More:
