Charlatans album.....

AMAZING. Sounds really cohesive, very together...Tim seems to have been fully assimilated back into the band after his solo album last year. The entire thing brings repair to mind. Sonically, there's a driving rhythmic force behind most of the tracks, but not just from drums and percussion: everything seems to groove....
Influence-wise, there's an unspoken dub pulse beneath everything, Melodicas, skittering fills, empty spaces between b-lines.
