This should be called "The Soulsavers with Mark Lanegan", because the Soulsavers were already a group before this record. Aside from the lack of his name in the title, Mark kicks ass on this record. You'll find his voice on most of the songs that make up "It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way You Land", which is one of the best records I've heard that's come out this year. The past few weeks, it has been my "Sunday Morning" record. Plus, their Stone's cover ("No Expectations") fuckin' kills! Hit their website for upcoming tour dates, news and anything else you could possibly want. http://www.thesoulsavers.com/

Getting goosebumps. That video is amazing!I bought the album when it came out and can't get enough of it. Every song is incredible and hearing their version of kingdom of rains was just bliss. No expectations made me bubble the first few listens. Yes, i know i'm pathetic!

Saw them perform back in July and it was amazing. Well, to be honest...I think anything with Mark Lanegan is amazing!

These visuals are so rich they add more to the song. Also Kingdom of Rain video w/katrina images ~so sad ~so beautiful.

bought the album some weeks ago. today, i wanted to take a look if it has been posted in this blog...
of course lanegan rules, but i think this is an outstanding album, perfect transition between the genres.
"Revival" leaves nobody cold, i think.

Dig this, that Will Oldham cat is on the Neil Young cover that's on this album; and he also plays a cop in one of the new chapters of R. Kelly's "Trapped in The Closet" (p-p-p-package). Could this possibly lead to a Lanegan/ Kelly colabo? My precious bodily fluids are draining out just fucking thinking about that.

This is definitely in my top 5 albums of 2007, I couldn't wait and got it on import and can't stop listening to it!
Counting down the days to their show at the Troubadour in December.
