5.0 out of 5 stars You can't miss with this album. "10", January 5, 2000

Okay, Isabella Rosselinni Sings a duet on this album. And thats not even it's pinacle! This disk is pure bliss no matter what track you started from. It's like putting Barry White, James Bond, The London Symphony, and a case of Stoli in a blender, and running it till it's smoother than Tom Waits eating pudding in a '79 jaguar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest album of the nineties?, January 31, 2002

This album would easily make it into my all-time top-ten record and is Tindersticks perhaps finest moment.
Some say that singer Stuart A Staples voice is one to eigher love or hate but I have troubles understanding how anyone can do other than love it. The songs, instrumentation, production, moods are all exellent but it is Staples voice that gives this record that special feeling.
Anyone into melancholic, moodfull, dreamy, bittersweet or passionate music should give tindersticks a try immediately. Among similar artist Nick Cave, Lee Hazlewood and 70's soul singers as Curtis Mayfield can be mentioned.
There are no weak songs on this album but absolute highlights are:"Bathtime", "Let's Pretend", "Rented Rooms", "Dancing" and "Are you trying to fall in love again".

5.0 out of 5 stars The best just keep getting better, December 5, 1999

Their first album was magnificent, but The Tindersticks have still managed to get better and better with every album since. Curtains is their third (not counting a collection of 'oddities' and a soundtrack), and is quite simply perfect. Every song is a masterpiece, perfectly hitting every emotion the band strives for. And for once these emotions are deep. Beautiful stuff. The only problem is that once you've heard this, the only other albums that seem half decent are other Tindersticks albums! PS I strongly urge you to also order the import of Tindersticks' new album, Simple Pleasure, which while containing one or two average tracks also features some of the best songs this tremendous band have ever done.
