If you are a fan of the band James, then maybe you know they got back together last year, after breaking up in 2001. If you were sad like me and played Seven over and over again, maybe you were excited when the compilation Fresh As A Daisy came out last year. Maybe you really liked the new songs. So maybe you already have heard the new James record that came out in the US just yesterday, Hey Ma. Yes. If you have any taste in music whatsoever, you need to listen to it. Which is to say, if you know the difference between good music and bad music. If you think is there such a distinction. If you think anyone gets to decide what is music and what is noise. Or what is visual and what is audible. Anyway. Whichever. Bullocks. You need to listen to it. And, you know, maybe this here guy can help…

Hells yes. I have listened to it at least half a dozen times since yesterday. I can’t get “Waterfall” out of my head — not that I’m trying to.

my copy arrived in the mail from amazon.uk today.
it’s wicked good. less studio sounding than the last two releases, this sounds more like james just being james.
not their best album, but it’s up there. it’s close.

I love this album! I have not stopped listening to it since I bought it, and that has not happened to me with anything musical in years. I did not think it was possible for a band to make an album that is great all the way through anymore, and I am just thankful to be proven wrong. James is back and they are my favorite band! I love the song Upside!
