[Sara]

I bought Trials on release and really cannot get into it at all...

I haven't really taken to that one either. Maybe it's silly title syndrome.

Maybe but I had in the car for weeks one would have thought I could overcome that by then.

Yes, it's usually more of a deterrent from even listening in the first place. Courage Of Others is definitely better imho.

Midlake

5.0'Bamnum & Silvercork' their debut had influences of the Flaming Lips, Grandaddy & Radiohead.

5.0 'Van Occupanther' sounded like 70's west coast soft-rock of Fleetwood Mac, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, etc.

5.0 'The Courage Of Others' reaches back even further back with their haunting medieval folk sound, influences deriving from the Fairtports, Pentangle, Steeleye Span, Incredible String Band, etc.

4.0 'Antiphon' the departure of Tim Smith was a loss for me nevertheless a decent album without their main front man

Glad you enjoyed 'Courage' so much Az, one of my all-time favourite albums.

Tell me did you like the album on first hearing?

It took me a few listens even though I was already a Midlake fan.

Enjoyed it immensely from the first track, 'Acts Of Man', which is one of my favorites of the entire album.
