G8 thanks good listening
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Lost my original copy and this is such a classic album with lyrics to die for. Its in perfect condition and I haven't stopped playing it since I bought it.Wasted no time in syncing it onto my ipod as well. Will be more careful with this one, having lost my original 1.
THIS ALBUM David Gray - White Ladder (CD 2000) is by far his best ever, what comes across straight away is the production and sound, crisp, clean, and not over-charging-percussion: the lryics are so "human" and self-explanation at the same time, sometimes in a lot of cases you have to think hard about the meaning of an album, but not in this case, this album, is true great. David Gray recent stuff in my opinion has not reached the same quality this album has, the inspiration and life of "BABYLON" is so unique, White Ladder is a special Album, any criticsm if any, is that the songs could of been a bit longer even, but in saying that the music is wonderful, sound is amazing, and this is BEST EVER ALBUM one to your collection. 5/5 deservedly so!
Breakthrough second album from the folk music inspired David Gray, which reached No. 1 in the UK album chart in 2000. Worth buying if only for the fantastic "Babylon" which is a longer and less produced version than the eventual single which I've always found strange, as the song is about a couple splitting up and getting back together again in the third verse, but the single only had the first two verses, so left them apart! It also surprisingly contains a version of Soft Cell's "Say hello wave goodbye" which is strange at first but it will grow on you. A fine album, a breath of fresh air.
As a relatively new fan of David Gray; having only heard his singles before, I was pleasantly suprised by this album. The album has a sheer need to be listened to; i find myself singing along (perhaps not for the benefit of everyone in my house) The only weak track on the album is the title track, 'White Ladder' - for some reason i simply do not find it to share the same quality as the rest of the album. The lyrics are meaningful; poetic. The accompanying music is quiet and melodic - with some lovely piano work on here. 4/5
