Doves are Fucken BRILLIANT, if it weren't for the Bunnymen they would be my favorite band by far. Can't wait for the new album "Kingdom Of Rust" on April 7th here in Canada. Also me and couple of friends are going to see them May 30th in Detroit Michigan, can't wait . . . . .
I think they are one of those bands that have never quite lived up to their potential. A few good singles but big gaps in the albums. Saw em at Reading a few years ago - in that sleepy tea time spot and they were quite good but I only stood up for a couple. Lyrically they try a bit too hard to be a bit Smithsy and never quite get there. Good in parts though
