Loved Husker Du, liked the solo work, loved Sugar, hated Modulate - almost gave up on Bob, but tried Body of Work (get the bonus disc if you can - Surveyors and Cranes is a great track) which was ok, and now District Line. District Line is better than Body of Work, though still drops a star as there are still too many synths (including on the voice, as others have said). But there are some fabulous tracks on here - Stupid Now, Again and Again, The Silence Between Us, Very Temporary are all favourites, and I'd compare them to Sugar (Copper Blue, but more muscular) rather than Husker Du (the songs are nowhere near as fast as Du, and are more writerly). I'm certainly looking forward to the next, but you should probably get this one if you haven't.
