    Really like the new CD but Cold has to be one of the best songs they have ever done.

    Excellent gig at the Cambridge Folk Festival yesterday! Rushed off to pick up a copy of their album but all gone! Thank goodness for last.fm.

    Some patchy songs but some fantastic highs - worth it for that. Personal favs are Lust and Bones and Abandon Ship. Both were on my list of best songs I heard during 2006.
