    Streaming here.

    I've only got 10 minutes through it but it sounds enjoyable so far.

    Decent enough album but if I'm honest it doesn't really hang together as well as 'Far'. Having said that, most of her album's are growers so it's probably too soon to tell.

    Far hung together due to it's 50 shades of vanilla:p

    Cheap seats is a decent collection of songs but I can't help but feel like it was a rush job, maybe it's the lack of new songs?:\

    Seems the consensus with the new album is that it's not her best but it's better than her last album. I think I'd agree with that. I'd definitely go see her live again if she came back to Ireland. Last time she was here we had to settle for an opening slot for David Gray, which wasn't ideal but at least we got about 45 minutes to an hour.

    And I was very tempted to go to that but couldn't justify the price for a david gray concert:P
    Hopefully she'll spin around here on a european tour, but if not I guess I'll have to ship off to london:)

    It was definitely worth the price though I didn't stick around for much of David Gray's encore. I was able to get to the front of the queue for the Luas though, which was handy. I was also at her Tripod show years ago. The place was a sweatbox that night. I really didn't care if the AC dampened or interfered with the sound, they should've cranked it up.

    That was one hell of a gig, hard to believe it was 2007! Yeah the ac was a nightmare but it's still one of my favourite gigs I've been to.
