Format:Audio CD
Alabama 3 have always had a dark side, but with this album they're almost moving into Nick Cave territory. The music still has some of the country/gospel strains of earlier albums, but is heavier on the brooding, metallic techo, spiced with some R&B and an updated version of Country Joe McDonald's Vietnam Song. Good stuff, but not for the faint hearted.

Having recently seen A3 live and already a big fan of theirs I was looking forward to this album. I am however disappointed overall. There are a couple of moments of genius; 'Fix It' and 'All God's Children' would be up there with anything they have ever recorded, but unusually for an A3 album, much of the rest is just filler. Worse, even, is that a lot of the tunes are fairly forgettable.
I was very disappointed but would still recommend anything else they have ever recorded and please do go see them live, they will blow you away.
Keep the faith.

I've been an A3 enthusiast since Exile on Coldharbour Lane, always faintly worried that the group will fail to come up to scratch with their next disc. No sweat! They have never let me down - and Revolver Soul is well up to their usual high standard. "Vietnamistan" is a spine-chiller
and I couldn't find a track from "Intro" to
"Outro" that I could fault.
Everyone I've recommended the group to has been as impressed with them as I. Long may they jam!

Where's the beef?
A3 and I go back a long way now. I started with La Peste, which I thought extraordinary, then Coldharbour: totally different but sheer brilliance. Read more

A return to the form of their first two albums
I love 'Exile...' and a lot of tracks on La Peste but most of the other Alabama 3 albums in between have been disappointing, save the odd single like 'Johnny Cash'. Read more

Treading some water
I have purchased all of the Alabama 3 albums but the last couple have lost the intelligant, wryly amusing lyrics and innovative sounds of the early albums. Read more

Alabama 3 are back with a great album, possibly their best since Cold Harbour Lane. The more I listen to it the better it gets. Read more

Revolver Soul
Another eclectic offering from A3. A brilliant live band, equally good on disc, I just can't get enough of this music but do accept that it will not float everybody's boat.
