As was the last album, Monday Night At The Hug & Pint. They seem to keep getting better with every album (If you ig nore Elephant Shoe!)

Agreed, I think it's by far their best. I'm not that big on the Red Thread though. Philophobia is decent tho.

'Mad For Sadness' is my favourite, and its the best recorded, despite it being live.

Good news on the new album, i thought they were going to release their live set at Nice and Sleazy's request show though??

I only have The Week Never Starts Round Here and Mad For Sadness which are both good, and Elephant Shoe which is pish. Which other albums compare to each of these?

Well as i said, I think Monday At the Hug and Pint is their best, has a kind of folky feel and more strings than the previous albums. The Red Thread comes a close second. Philophobia has the best tracks from Mad For Sadness but they sound way shitter.
