New Thievery Corporation? Someone needs to

67.188.177.231

get their act together: ""and that boy next door is me...""

When did it come out? Who all has it, and what is your take so far?

OK if you're a fan. - R Browne 08:42:29 10/01/08 (3)
I got the new release "Radio Retaliation" last week and have played it a couple of times. Note that it is not on heavy rotation. Hyped as being "political" in message, musically there is nothing new or groundbreaking here. Recommended for fans but I would not recommend it for newcomers to their music as I think some of the earlier releases such as "sounds from the Thievery hi-fi" and "Mirror Conspiracy" are more impressive and my personal favorites compared to some of the later ones.

Bottom line: It's OK, but I was expecting more. I think they are capable of better, but perhaps they've already hit their peak. I haven't really been following the electronica genre for the past couple of years but I get the impression it has declined from where it was a few years ago. Newer recommendations welcome to change my mind.

  yours to a certain degree....
  
  I love "sounds from the Thievery Hi-Fi, the Mirror Conspiracy, and DJ Kicks: (even though the recording of DJ is not so much).
  
  I wasn't that impressed with Cosmic Game so much, - although I liked a tune or two, and it was cool to have David Byrne guest star.
  
  I also feel that they've slipped up a bit on their live performances which seem to have made them sound tired.
  
  Still, they are a great band IMO.

    If I never hear another Thievery Corporation song again, it will be too soon.

      I appreciate the fact that you've strong opinions, - we all do/should. But, I'm sure that we all have our preferences. It's pointless to go over to the rock forum and say that I don't like John Hiatt...
