Spinning Today - What Are You Listening To Right Now? (Part 3)

[Alex_UK]

The Cardigans - Long Gone Before Daylight (2003)



"The album differs from much of the band's earlier work, eschewing the pop and electronic rock sound of previous material in favour of a sparser, alternative rock and country-influenced production. Its lyrical themes are also more mature, with subject matter inspired by domestic abuse, depression, love and fatalism"

[Rush2112]

So we start the day with a band fronted by a sadly missed Floridian singer, song writter and Wilbury.

This was their 2002 release and 11th studio album, the opening track is still a regular feature on radio but the whole album is a great exponent of AOR with every track somehow sounding familiar.

Title:

1."The Last DJ" 3:48
2."Money Becomes King" 5:10
3."Dreamville" 3:46
4."Joe" 3:15
5."When a Kid Goes Bad" 4:56
6."Like a Diamond" 4:32
7."Lost Children" 4:28
8."Blue Sunday" 2:56
9."You and Me" 2:58
10."The Man Who Loves Women" 2:53
11."Have Love Will Travel" 4:05
12."Can't Stop the Sun" 4:59

Best sounding DSOTM IMHO, I have compared a 1st press vinyl, later re-presses and 2016 vinyl remaster (probably from the 2011 CD re-masters issued then), most are good, probably because this was a well engineered and produced album in the first place. I have not heard the 50th Anniversary version so cannot say if it better to the same.

If you are into DSOTM CD/SACD then I would recommend you try a copy, there are a few on Discogs and a couple of very well priced ones on Ebay.

The best version I have is the 20th Anniversary Edition.

To my ears it's so good, I have no interest in investigating any later editions.
