SOMETHING FOR NOTHING with the Harlem Gospel choir is also stunning. Driving today in my car( and I am not a sentimental guy at all) but JUST A GIFT was on and the music just swept over me totally and I could feel myself tearing up. The part near the end " thats all right, thats all right, thats all right with me" I just found it totally emotional and in a good way. There is something in that song that just floors me. It's just beautiful man.

Just want to say the netflix film was brilliant
It showed the real Keith, behind all the image, and what came across was lovely
He don't hide his age or wrinkles, he just is what he is
A man happy in his skin, proud of his loves and achievements, and still loyal to the Stones and their fans
He seems high on music and life, and so he should be
Now when is my damn album going to arrive so i can talk about it lol

Keith's album is expected to sell 30-35k in the U.S during the first week, enough for a Top 10 debut on the Billboard chart.
It could be the first Top 10 album for a solo Stone in the U.S, the best peak positions so far are Wandering Spirit #11, She's The Boss #13 and Talk Is Cheap #24)
Main Offender peaked at #99 in 1992.

Yes that's pretty exciting but with all the PR and media blitz it is not entirely unexpected. For a solo artist like Keith to enter the Top 10, such a campaign is a big part of it, imo. The real information will come when we see the sales figures for the next 3 weeks and determine if he can continue to sell the record or it drops off dramatically once the die hard Keith fans have all been satisfied and if the music is compelling enough to attract more casual and new fans.

So much for pre-ordering from Keith's site..I've still not got the cd & now I got an email saying the pic's & case I've preordered 30 days ago, I'm going to have to wait another 30 days for since they're out!

On today's market it's impossible to stay on the charts without airplay, stream or download sales.
It will sell on par with the Sticky Fingers re-issue, a Top 10 debut and then 31-66-111 during the first month, a couple of more weeks on the lower part of the chart and then out of the Top 200 after 7-8 weeks.

How is the bonus track, a dub? An instrumental?

I heard, clear as a bell, the 'Baby Break It Down' riff in there, I can't remember which track. I've only had one listen. I haven't had this much fun listening to an album in a very long time. It isn't perfect. In fact, it is beautifully imperfect.

Extremely dated production... Makes it almost unlistenable. Do yourself a favour and get the new Libertines album instead.
Luckily, it is A modern production would have ruined these songs.
...No it wouldn't have. Should have had someone like Stephen Street on the job. The production on this album is extremely amateur.
The new Libertines album, while quite enjoyable, sounds very clean and a bit too modernish. It makes me wish they had hired again Mick Jones as producer like on their first two albums.
On the other hand, Keith's album sounds very fresh to me because you just listen to him and his band playing together with no additional production. The fact that Keith has written many great songs helps a lot too of course...
Exactly this. The Libs' album suffers for the lack of spark they achieved in last from playing as a band, and the "modern" touches emphasize the flaws. Keith and Jordan's production does the opposite. As with the first two Libertines albums, there are lots of subtle overdubs and "sweetening", as they called it in the old days, almost disappearing into the mix, all very sympathetic to the organic whole. Stephen Street, who was passed over for the Libertines record, is a good pop producer, but neither Keith nor the Libertines would be better off for it. Pete Doherty and Babyshambles need such a producer because they don't have a sound since Pat Walden left. The Libertines have a sound, which Jake Gosling failed to capture, and Keith and company definitely have a sound.

Illusion, it's got it all in there.
