I thought 2009's "Journal For Plague Lovers" was a real return to form for them with Richey's previously unused lyrics.<br /><br />James is still a fine vocalist and a great guitarist, I have to confess to only ever seeing them play once (back in 1994 time at an Anti-Nazi League Rally in London).Mark_E_Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14616110762860223303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7642588910660269183.post-18139753731619523462010-11-09T17:43:02.328+00:002010-11-09T17:43:02.328+00:00Someday I'd like to see this band play.

Someday, maybe...Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695278271129114114noreply@blogger.com
