UNKLE is back with a third album, War Stories, which finds James Lavelle teaming up with Richard File for a second time. War Stories' guest vocalists include Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), Ian Astbury (The Cult), 3D (Massive Attack), The Duke Spirit, Autolux and Gavin Clark (Clay Hill). James makes his vocal debut on War Stories, singing on Hold My Hand as well as dueting with Richard on Morning Rage.
War Stories will be released on James Lavelle's new label, Surrender All, and the packaging features paintings specially commissioned by Massive Attack's 3D. The standard CD comes with a 32-page booklet. The 2xCD limited edition is a gatefold case, with an extended 50 page booklet and an outer slip-box opening up to reveal the standard CD and a second CD featuring the instrumental versions of the songs appearing on War Stories.
UK/Europe/Australia Release: 9 July 2007 US Release: 24 July 2007 Japan Release: 20 June 2007

Never Never Land was awesome imo. DJ Shadows absence didn't bother me in the slightest (and considering how shite The Outsider turned out to be, perhaps it was a good thing), and it was an interesting, enjoyable direction for Lavelle and co to take. "Inside" in particular is quite simply a beautifully produced, understated epic of a track.
I have all the UNKLE stuff, including those japan-only releases he put out a few years back. I have confidence the new album will be just as good as the back cat.

I love Psyence Fiction, but never bothered to check out Never Never Land for some reason. With the line-up, the new album have potential, but I'm kinda with redrum on this one. Gonna check Never Never Land. Maybe it can give me that good ol Trip Hop Feeling?

Everything produced after psyence fiction was pure shite. I'd rate it below The Outsider (at least the outsider has ONE good track on it).

Inside Reign In A State What Are You To Me Panic Attack
These are all great tracks. It is true that some of the tracks on the album are a bit wank (Eye For An Eye never did anything for me, neither did Glow or Safe In Mind), but on the whole I love it just as much as Psyence Fiction. I'm shocked most of you dislike it actually. Any particular reasons why?
