I finally could buy the album last monday and I don't really liked. I've listened to it various times but I can't make it like me... Has happened the same with you? Is it a difficult album or have I to be definitely dissapointed?
Opinnions, please

I know what you mean, when I first got it I wasn't terribly impressed, but after a few listens I changed my mind totally. Maybe you need to listen a few more times? Its not nearly as energetic as Lycanthropy, but it has a lot more emotion in it, I really love it!

It'll grow and grow and grow in its worth.
That's what happened with me at least.

When i first heard it there were a few songs that stuck out and the rest didn't do anything for me. After a few listens it really grew on me. I love everything about it now and i even like it more than lycanthropy.

Thank you boys & girls. I was a little worried thinking about maybe Patrick just stopped like me. But if it was the same with you and now you like the record, I hope this will be for me too.
Tank you and sorry for my english

Lycanthropy is way better, I don't really like Wind in the Wires very much. However, Patrick is still humorously intense and consequently endearing, so I can't really hate it.

It's odd, on first listen, I was really overwhelmed by the record as a whole and really liked it, but as I've given it more listens, some songs have really stood out, and others have sort of faded into the background. It's actually been a while since I've listened to it properly - maybe I need to play it a few more times and become fully acquainted with all the songs.

I think that Patrick's records are those that grow on you....some songs leap out at you and you love them instantly, whereas others take a few listens but they soon have a stronger hold over your heart...they bury their roots into it, and wind around it.... Like The Childcatcher...that's one of my favourite songs now, but I didn't like it at first...it sent a chill down my spine...but now!!!!! ;D Can't stop listening to it! Besides....The Railway House is so beautiful, how could you not just love it???

well....i loved it. but i must admit, i hadnt a clue what to expect. and i was petrified by it. i thought it was terrifing. i keep lookin around in fear....
i noticed patrick about a year ago in an NME mag, cos i thought he was cute (i must confess) And i read so much on him over the year that a few months ago i bought the album, cos he sounded like the sorta dude id really love listeiing too...and even if i didnt - i was willing to give it a shot

I like Patrick a lot, and when i play all 3 albums together. It's a pure masterpiece. I would recommend listening to wind in the wires a bit more, it will grow on you.

Wind In The Wires was the first i'd ever heard of Patrick Wolf and at first listen only a couple of tracks really jumped out (namely Tristan and The Libertine). After a while though, as i listened to the album more and more, it really started growing on me as a whole. I'm finding now that i can't bear to listen to it as anything other than a complete album, it's seems the only way to really appreciate how well put together it is. The songs mean so much more when they're played in the sequence they we're intended to be, or so it seems to me anyway. I've even found that, by playing all 3 albums together in sequence, they complement one another so well and seems to have a constant narrative running through them. Then again, maybe that's just me being pretentious, hehe.

Although it doesn't necessarily have my favourite of his songs, The Magic Position is the one that I tend to listen to as a whole album; I never really do that with WITW.

Any of you people notice the dates on the posts that precede the spambot? Auld!
However, while we're on the topic - Wind in the Wires is the album that drew me in and made me like Patrick in the first place, so it holds a special place in my heart. I really liked that general period of Patrick's career, even though I was very out of the loop during it.

I know what you mean - when I first listened, the only songs that really impressed me were "The Libertine" and "Tristan". However I just stuck at it and I eventually saw the recurring themes in it, just the beautiful crafting of the songs... I'm using a lot of clichés here, but really just one day I felt it, like a kick up the backside!

My favourite Patrick Wolf album. I liked Lycanthropy a lot but this, over the course of time, has just blown me away. The songs, the mood, the sound, the story. Awesome.

Tristan was the beginning of my Patrick obsession, and Wind in the Wires is my favourite album of his. Of course, this is coming from someone whose first CDs at the ripe age of 12-or-so were Shawn Colvin and Clannad, so I've always had an odd taste in music. I really love folk and always have, so this was the first to speak out to me. The neat thing about Patrick's music, however, is that he plays to different moods and different times, so just keep listening. When you're in one mood, certain songs connect. Then you listen weeks later, and a whole new world opens up to you in different tracks. It's quite magical. Of course, that's what comes out of an artist who is inspired by so many different things. It's a journey. /waffling like a fangirl
