| It is over. I feel that is an album that constantly finds fresh things to do with a very very simple set-up and remains compelling from start to finish, exploiting the total compatibility between singer and guitarist. Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it. ![Excited](/users/3715/63/33/29/smiles/4075307247.gif) _________________ ![The Kills - Blood Pressures (2011) - Page 7 Bunnyd10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f62/19/90/50/40/bunnyd10.gif) |

| I have given it 5 stars as, after 9 years of playing it, it still excites me and carries me away to a better place. _________________ ![The Kills - Blood Pressures (2011) - Page 7 Bunnyd10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f62/19/90/50/40/bunnyd10.gif) |

| Well, that was alright. I've gone **** It's nice to see the young people of today prove me wrong that Rock's not totally a putrefying corpse of decay.

| Well...
Hmm...
Well.
That was hearteningly good.
A strong sense of band-identity and a confident, almost casual, songwriting commitment to it.
Actually, genuinely good.
I will listen to it again.
I can't give a record I've never heard before a better review. _________________ Have you ever seen a Squonk's tears?

The Stones? it's not so much that they sound like the Stones but that they frequently seem to take the Stones as their starting point and then rework it into something completely different and channel it through the medium of lo-fi. Baby Says being the most obvious example, where, in my opinion, they got Gimme Shelter and turned it into something new and fresh. _________________ ![The Kills - Blood Pressures (2011) - Page 7 Bunnyd10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f62/19/90/50/40/bunnyd10.gif) |

| Looks-wise I meant really.
Although Booster will always be about twice as beautiful as anyone, even at her lowest ebb. _________________ Have you ever seen a Squonk's tears?
