I think it is quite funny that on a board dedicated to Fairport Convention it isn't possible to just say "Hey, I like the new album" without being called to order. Rays of sunshine indeed ; - )

There is a kind of low grumbling tone about some of the posts here.  All I'll add is that my 24 year old son, who is largely immune  (and often downright hostile) to Fairport has been regularly playing 50:50 in our kitchen, with a slightly embarrassed 'actually, I quite this....for Fairport.'

I am also David H!!!!!! Hello!
Play him the original Sailors Life, just for me and see how he reacts.
If he hates it.........

I finally got round to buying this, though nearly didn't following all the negative comments on here. I'm glad I did as I really enjoyed it. All the live tracks are good and apart from "Devil's Work" I like all the new tracks.

All in all a good album.

I will do that.  'Unhalfbricking' will always be my favourite Fairport album - and 'Sailor's Life' a revelation at the time and still a monumental piece of work.  Ditto 'Percy's Song.'

Good call. If he can sit through that, he can make it through pretty much anything...
