    5.0 out of 5 stars Something Special
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 May 2012

    Having most Tindersticks albums already, I wasn't sure, frankly, that I needed another: if I'm honest, I still haven't really got to know the last one. But listening to clips of this made up my mind. I'm glad, as The Something Rain feels both quintessential Tindersticks and yet a step forward, too.
    The different elements of the band are all here: slightly gothic abstraction; off-beat jazz inflections; great spoken word story; spacious, soulful romanticism. Often, there's a groove that just carries this all along beautifully, sweeping the album by until it's ready to start again.
    This is an album by a band sure of who it is, what it does and delighting in being itself.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Rain, rain come away...
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 May 2012

    It's very similar to the last album, Falling Down The Mountain, in terms of both musical and vocal direction. String instruments, so beautifully complementing Stuart's voice in the older days are practically no more, except song Medicine, the most profound on the album, perhaps.

    I was thinking about three stars review, but it's Tindersticks after all and it is still great band, avant-garde rather than pop; uncompromising, even if primitive at times; I admire them for it. That's the price you pay for independence (and too much wine).
    However, they gradually move away from the enchanted melodies of The Curtains or Waiting for the Moon in a different direction, more decadent, more uncertain, which is all fine, but the last instrumental piece of the album is shallow and does the album harm. The electro-synthetic sound they use increasingly is fine, minimalist, but for me only tolerable. Those little symphonies of previous albums and their film scores, were much more to my liking. That's where melancholy dwells... in the sounds of real instruments, not their digital clones.
    Album well worth buying and listening to, however...

    Tindersticks does not break new ground with this album, but for long time fans, this album is like a pair of old socks: unfashionable, comfortable and utterly endearing.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Will suit some, but not me...
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 March 2012

    I have pretty much everything Tindersticks have ever done and I love their music, throughout its various transformations.

    This new album was, for me, a disappointment after the excellent Falling Down the Mountain. There are a couple of decent songs here; Show me Everything and This Fire of Autumn being the standouts for me. However, this album seems to be more about drifting soundscapes than well constructed songs. Tindersticks have always done that sort of thing, but this time those soundscapes are the core of the album rather than interludes.

    There are some atmospheric sounds here but the overall effect, bar a couple of tracks, is music that washes over you and which seems designed for the background rather than close listening.

    I hadn't brought a Tindersticks album in years and decided to give this a try after reading a few good reviews. Was pleased that I did as it's a cracking album and has been on heavy rotation ever since. I guess Tindersticks are a bit like the Fall; always the same but a bit different.

    Ich bin über die Curtains damals zu tindersticks gekommen. Danach folgten gleich die 1th und 2nd Scheibe der Band, mir war damals klar: Das können sie kaum noch toppen, was sie auf den drei Scheiben bewerkstelligt haben, zumal die Curtains ja schon gewisse Ermüdungserscheinungen aufwies.
    Später gekaufte Scheiben wie hatten immer herrliche Momente, aber leider auch eher Stücke die für jede Band ein Hammer wären, aber für tindersticks einfach unter derem Niveau. Also eine Entwicklung wie bei vielen Bands der Welt?

    Mit The Something Rain knüpfen sie aber nun an die großartigen drei ersten Alben an, ohne einen einzigen Durchhänger. Ja, die Streicher sind Geschichte. Dafür bekommt die tinderstick'sche Schwere auch spielerische Elemente, die an The Nits erinnern. Und es ist einfach ein Labsal für die Ohren, Staples zu hören. Seine Stimme ist nachwievor ein Stilelement von tindersticks.
    Wenn mir heute Sänger mit besonders bemerkenswerten Stimmen standepede einfallen, dann ist Stuart Staples dabei. (Neben Peter Hammill, Peter Gabriel, Mark Hollis, Les Claypool und Tom Waits)

    Ich höre die Scheibe gerade zum vierten Mal hintereinander... Yeah!

    Just finished my first listen-
    Wasn't at all wild about the 1st track, the spoken word piece Chocolate..... Seemingly a disjointed track, not really in unison w/ the the rest of the album imho, + it's soooo long.... I'll give it another try-
    I got turned on to the Tindersticks 2nd album from a hi-fi buddy of mine & grabbed a copy of the Import version Tindersticks 2 which is remastered & has a killer live bonus disc-
    Many of their CDs are available as an import version, that have a cool 2nd disc... just search w/ the word import w/ the title-
    Well anyway, this disc was very melodic & mesmerizing- I liked the whole flow, except for the 1st track..
    If you like this, try this... A Nick Cave masterpiece imho Push the Sky Away You'll love it, + it is in a sexy book format + a DVD w/ mini documentary incl. some bonus tracks that didn't make the album..-
    I've ordered more Tindersticks !

    Reviewed in France on 2 September 2012

    Depuis 2008, Tindersticks a relancé sa carrière en publiant de très beaux albums que sont "The Hungry saw" et "Falling down a mountain". Cette année le groupe récidive avec "The something rain" et assurément leur dernière livraison est à coup sûr l'une des meilleures réalisations de cette année.
    Le leader du groupe Stuart A Staples a convoqué ses collaborateurs dans son fameux studio Le Chien Chanceux pour nous concocter un opus magnifique.
    Il en dégage une atmosphère mélancolique très particulière qui transpire tout au long de l'écoute. Cette musique qu'on peut comparer aux œuvres des peintres impressionnistes du 19° Siècle. L'auditeur est convié à un carrefour de différents courants musicaux du Rock et de la Pop Britannique de ces dernières années. Le groupe recycle avec bonheur de la soul ( "This fire of autumn") du ska ( "Slippin' shoes " ) et des mélodies jazzy ( "Come inside" ) tout ceci dans un décor ouaté.
    Il y aussi ce morceau plutôt parlé que chanté du début de l'album "Chocolate" avec son ambiance cotonneuse. "A night so still" qui se dégage avec son humeur brumeuse. Un univers délicat bercée par la voix de Stuart A Staples et le sax langoureux de Terry Edwards.
    Un album d'une beauté digne d'une nature morte qu'on écoute quand les beaux jours sont sur le déclin et que l'automne arrive. Après cette écoute, calme et sérénité sont au rendez-vous. Recommandé.

    Spedizione e imballo Amazon perfetti come sempre. Il vinile è una piacevole sorpresa, sicuramente tra i più belli dei Tindersticks, quasi al livello dei primi 2 album del gruppo, con suoni delicati che riprendono anche sonorità moderne e attuali. Il vinile, a differenza di alcune recensioni che ho letto, suona molto bene e la cover, non gatefold, è molto curata con un inserto al suo interno. Consigliato!
