"The result is a pleasant album, striking the right balance between, on the one hand, a reflection on the passing of time, the coming of age, the memories of a life that sometimes seems better, and on the other hand, the need not to let down one's guard, and to continue to brandish the banner of the ideals of Rock, even if it is now "classic"."

"With "All Souls Hill", Scott ventures into psychedelic territory ("In My Dreams"), tries his hand at trip-hop on "The Southern Moon" without forgetting to add relief and a memorable chorus ("Blackberry Girl") - and signs an ample blues with a slow pace ("Hollywood Blues")."

"Developed by Mike Scott in a more collaborative approach than usual, the new Waterboys lacks neither ardor nor an undeniable respect for musical traditions: it still holds high the banner of Rock'n'Roll in the face of the fickleness of existence."

"In 1985, with this third album of the Waterboys, the Scotsman Mike Scott, inhabited rock poet, raised his "big music" to the rank of ultimate rock hero. An absolute model of intensity and fervor in a genre that would soon go wrong."

We are thrilled to announce the release of the new and highly anticipated Waterboys double album OUT OF ALL THIS BLUE on BMG Records. Mike Scott says, "Out Of All This Blue always wanted to be a double album, even before I wrote the songs. So I took a leap into the dark and the songs came, first a few then a flood, in colours of pop, funk, soul even a little country and French chanson. And when I selected from them for the album there was only one standard - each song had to be good enough to make it onto a top class single Waterboys album. Listen loud and listen long, and I hope you love it."
