This is awesome. I have high hopes for this one, because Dulli has still been doing good work under the Twilight Singers banner (though no album comes close to any Whigs album), and the Afghan Whigs songs since the breakup -- those two aforementioned plus a cover of Frank Ocean's "Lovecrimes" -- have been terrific. Sky-high album of the year potential on this one.

One of the best bands ever. Makes Nirvana and Pearl Jam look like piles of shit. No one else could do grunge with so much swagger.

There are some Twilight Singers songs I'd put right up there with the Whigs' best -- "Teenage Wristband," "That's Just How That Bird Sings," "Papillon," "Bonnie Brae," to name a few -- but no one album of theirs is ever as strong as Gentlemen, Black Love, or 1965. Twilight as Played by the Twilight Singers comes closest; unsurprisingly it's the one chronologically closest to the Afghan Whigs. But man, if "Bonnie Brae" wasn't a huge radio hit, how was it not?

I never got into the collaboration between Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan at all. I can't even remember the name now. Downloaded the album and deleted it.
