NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH

Such a great live album! The Pineapple Thief present a recording of a collection of seventeen of the band's best songs, focusing mainly on material from the last decade, picking the most exciting numbers from albums like 'All the Wars', 'Your Wilderness', the absolutely brilliant 'Dissolution' and their 2020 offering 'Versions of the Truth' ? a very accessible and enjoyable performance (in a crowdless venue, unfortunately), where the band play more convincingly than ever, despite the unusual circumstances.

Bruce Soord and company display a vibrant energy, a very professional approach, and an album that sounds just too well - the show is tremendously well recorded, the listener will be able to experience every little fragment of the music with ease, and immerse entirely in the atmosphere of the performance. Jumping back and forth between newer and now-older compositions, each member deserves a lot of credit for what they are doing, but perhaps the most impressive musicians are the two main forces behind the band - mastermind Bruce Soord and drumming extraordinaire Gavin Harrison, the man who always proves how crucial an excellent drummer can be, and just how much the elegant playing can contribute to the music. Each live rendition of the songs on here is great, some highlights would be 'Versions of the Truth', 'Warm Seas', 'Our Mire', 'White Mist', 'Wretched Soul', and 'Far Below', but this recording is supposed to be experienced in its entirety, and it is really worth it.
