People have been really raving about Midlake's latest work, so I checked out this album. It was a really disappointing dirge. Very bland, uninspired songs.

A CD so good it makes you want to wax lyrical....... Oh wyrdie beardy Ye make sum fowks fierdie with yr fowkie songs and gallumphing hair Its no for the chilren an no for the mare Its one for the pot an makes yr heid sare Oh wyrdie beardy Ye make sum folkie fierdie. I commend this CD to the house.

If there were no gaps between the songs you would never know when one finished and the other started. A great record if you are having trouble getting off to sleep.

I'm a big fan of Midlake & this album was a bit of a disappointment to me on the first few listens. I know that the band's music is changeable, from the Radiohead style of Milkmaid Grand Army through to the quirky Bannerman & the more classically americana driven Van Occupanther, I've never found their music anything less than wonderful - The Courage of Others however, asks a little more of the listener. Initially I found the album to be a little low key & the songs very similar to each other. I persevered however & after seeing the band live in Glasgow the whole album seemed to make much more sense. Repeated listening reveals rich rewards & discovery of multiple layers throughout the album. Eric Pulido's backing vocals are absolutely incredible - for me they could be mixed a little more prominently in the album but that's a minor detail. For anyone who liked Steeleye Dan, Fairport Convention, Jethro Tull, Wishbone Ash or any fan of beautifully wrought songs, harmonies & thoughtful lyrics this album is absolutely worth the effort. A future classic!
