So here's my review of the songs I've heard from Lucero's Nobody's Darlings:
Rough. Interesting. Not as fabulous as Self-titled. Not as sweet, tender and sad as Tennesee. Not as bitter and hopeful as That Much Further West.
Though it's rough sound is incredibly inticing. It does lack the fervor and simple strains of the earlier records, and is a little more poppy and alternative than I would like, but still, a good buy for a Lucero fan.
Actually, your money, if you are a hardcore Lucero fan, would be a lot better spent on buying their earliest demos, etc, "Attic Tapes."
Basically: Good Attempt at a meaningful album, but the new bassist/guitarist wears the band down, and Ben Nichols is obviously wearing thin.
Key Tracks: Sixteen, Hold Me Close
