This was my favorite band in the 90s. Powerful, dirty, sick and sensual. I Couldn't get enough of them. It's good to know they're back. And on Sub Pop, too! That's poetry.
Four years on, I'm still listening to this one. While it will never replace classic Whigs albums like _Gentlemen_ or _Black Love_ for me, it's a damn fine album. IMHO, _In Spades_ is Dulli's best work post Black Love. Giving up the smokes made such a difference in his voice.
Album cover, this voice, lyrics and music make me feel like I was in some other dark and obscure, but at the same time exciting and beautiful place. I found this band accidentally and I'm really happy because of that. Great work.
Didn't even know until yesterday they had a new album! I have been a fan since 1991/1992. I am glad Afghan Whigs were never huge because I believe this has allowed them to make stunning music and have longevity. One of the only few bands from the 90s that didn't die a horrible death. They may just be able to land their spaceship with dignity.
it is amazing to see how each album shows the growth and depth of talent of every instrument and lyric from Whigs' Big Top Halloween through Gutter Twins to Twilight singers Dynamite steps and bringing all the energy back to the Afghan whigs last two. . this is a beautiful album. I am blown away and more of fan now than ever before.
Very worthy effort, dark, catchy and rocks like classic Gentleman, Black Love era Whigs. I miss McCollum on guitar, but the new guitarist is a good fit and adds something to their sound with his own playing style. Most underrated band of the 90's refusing to rest on their laurels as is made clear by this effort.
Good eye! if you knew that you may also know it is from an episode of the Untouchables, "The Rusty Heller story" If you like her and have not seen her in that it is a stellar performance and available here on UA-cam.
Yeah, I Agree I would go so far as to say better than 1965 that just seemed too cheery to be a proper Whigs album. It almost sounds like it would have came between Black Love and 1965.
I have been a Whigs/Twilight Singers all around Dulli obsessed fan for over 20+ years. I never thought they (he) could top Black Love, which is my favorite album of all time....yes all time. But godamn if this album (can we still use that term) isn't breathing right down the neck of Black Love.....this is masterful from beginning to end.
RIP Dave Rosser. my favorite band since the 90s lots of beautiful music on so many great albums. seeing them live is euphoric . although I can name a bunch I think my favorite bit of music by this band is the bridge in Fountain and Fairfax. it sounds like someone wringing out an ocean of tears! truly one of the great songwriters of rock and roll.
Theres is nothing like this that exist, glad to be alive and enjoying this, just bought this vinyl to add to my T table! Saw them live many times and on this tour and their last tour recently because thats where its at!!
Demon in Profile is an extremely haunting, though-provoking spin on the old "crossroads" story of selling your soul to the devil for fame and fortune. Well done Greg!
Impeccable album. Thank you Greg, the Whigs, and SubPop for making this happen. Just noticed you'll be live at the Showbox in Seattle on October 18th!! See you there, gents!
yes, this is a very underrated Band...hopefully their status will change in the next years..Their music is wonderful and interesting..love them since the 90`s
Just saw them at the opera house in toronto. didnt know them b4 last week. Im sold. Very good band. ill enjoy exploring all of their earlier material. Chris
Instant heavy rotation after the first few listenings are #1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, and 10, which really isn't too bad, eh...if I had to choose two favourites it would be Into the Floor and Toy Automatic. Thanks for making the record listenable on jutube, SubPop. Look forward to the concert; great to have the Afghan Whigs back :=)
The artwork of this album is astonishing. I had to order Vinyl Loser edition and MC cassette just because it's so beautiful. Music is incredible. I must check out this band's other works.
I own all of their records (and I recommend you do the same :)), but for an overview of their earlier work, the "Unbreakable: A Retrospective 1990-2006" compilation is excellent
Greg. Old Oxford friend. Chat me up. Ken Meadows worked at Mac and Joe's. You guys went to the school in Middletown. I'm glad you guys are getting airplay finally in Indiana.
Can someone explain to me how to pick the best song from this album?! Cause the are all the best...and they all are my favorites...Thank you The Afghan Whigs and thank you mr. Greg Dulli ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wasn't sure if I would get to see them again. Fortunately, they will be in Dallas in October. Already have tickets in hand. Love the new album. Greg Dulli is the best song writer on the planet, imho.
I recently added "if you're Greg Dulli" to my okc profile question, "Why I'd want you to message me (or something)". Then I find a new album and tour. Fuck romance. Men. Music has always been there.
I wish I could enjoy it as much as you; like Do to the Beast before it it has its moments but at other times feels a tad flat and samey to me, I don't think the song writing is as strong as it used to be. Still, it's pretty good.
throwback radio music... when the music was good and the artists were ugly... well, as many named chicks were on the last album, I want to say not as hyper sexualized... lol term used loosely

thank God these guys will never be mainstream, "into the floor", is mesmerizing, what a band, what a wonderful album....

Dulli is the man
The rhythm changes and intricacy in Arabian Heights is pure genius.
Reminds me of Smashing Pumpkins, Jimmy drumming

much better than do the beast!!

the Whigs were always rated. Just not by the masses. It's a good thing. Get to see in small venues when Greg and his buddies tour.
I think if it wasn't for Mark I wouldn't know about this band.
Such a fuckin great band

Neil, Black Love isn’t my fave album of all time but its in my top 10. Ive had In Spades for two weeks and you’re absolutely right mate
Same here but I have Gentleman higher tyhan Black love...
Gentlemen is my favorite
Gentlemen my fav. This is OK but not best
After Gentlemen and Black Love how is it just now in 2024 I discovered this album @54...😊
Time flies... Haha
This is a great record!
RIP Dave Rosser. my favorite band since the 90s lots of beautiful music on so many great albums. seeing them live is euphoric . although I can name a bunch I think my favorite bit of music by this band is the bridge in Fountain and Fairfax. it sounds like someone wringing out an ocean of tears! truly one of the great songwriters of rock and roll.
I've never heard of them before, but now that I'm two minutes into this album, I already love them.
What? Gentleman should be your next listen.
and then Black Love!
Mindblowing!!!
Same here...although I knew of them
if You love THiS album, then their album "GENTLEMEN" will Blow Your Mind❗ 💔 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Crazy talented people making crazy talented music...
Theres is nothing like this that exist, glad to be alive and enjoying this, just bought this vinyl to add to my T table! Saw them live many times and on this tour and their last tour recently because thats where its at!!

Man what an outfit. The singer is as cool as it gets.
Impeccable album. Thank you Greg, the Whigs, and SubPop for making this happen. Just noticed you'll be live at the Showbox in Seattle on October 18th!! See you there, gents!
Me too!
Amen - this album is pretty much flawless. Showbox will be a great show....I'll get them 5 days earlier on Friday the 13th in LA.
Welcome back, boys. Always glad to see you.
A criminally low number of views on this masterpiece. Dulli and company continue to churn out wonderful music.
How this has so little views???? this is an amazing record by a legendary band!
Grandissimi afghan per la loro, in primis, originalità e poi la voce di Dulli, struggente
My favorite Whigs album to date, and I've been along the whole ride with them. See you in September!
One of the best albums of the year!
It's my favourite band since
I've heard them for the first time in 1998. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱😊
Greg Dulli rules the world.
I'm 3 times through, possibly my favorite album on the millennium so far, and best Whigs since 'Black Love'
Listens to the first 10 seconds of opening track,
goes clicking the like button.
Simple.
yes, this is a very underrated Band...hopefully their status will change in the next years..Their music is wonderful and interesting..love them since the 90`s
Just saw them at the opera house in toronto. didnt know them b4 last week. Im sold. Very good band. ill enjoy exploring all of their earlier material.

Thanks for making the record listenable on jutube, SubPop. Look forward to the concert; great to have the Afghan Whigs back :=)
I'm a casual and very late fan of the band. like this very much...
Great album, can't stop listening. Such a unique sound, but they make it sound easy.
one of their best records
Stupendo bellissimo grazie care Pellicce Afgane
The artwork of this album is astonishing. I had to order Vinyl Loser edition and MC cassette just because it's so beautiful. Music is incredible. I must check out this band's other works.
Never heard before. I love finding new bands. Great vibe, dark and edgy. I really like it!
Not really a new band, but glad you found them.
Yea, thanks.
also check out twilight singers and gutter twins (Dullie's other bands
I own all of their records (and I recommend you do the same :)), but for an overview of their earlier work, the "Unbreakable: A Retrospective 1990-2006" compilation is excellent
Wait till you see them performing live! Even more amazing!
Probably the best rock album of 2017
Greg. Old Oxford friend. Chat me up. Ken Meadows worked at Mac and Joe's. You guys went to the school in Middletown. I'm glad you guys are getting airplay finally in Indiana.
I can't wait to buy this amazing album, but meanwhile I thank you for posting it!
Toy Automatic, Birdland... true masterpiece thanks Whigs
Afghan Whigs incredible sound and lyrics of this work. Thanks for enjoy me every time that I heard it.
Artrock, since first 10 min., i d say, this music has many beautyful moments. love it!
класс! С первого раза не понял эту музыку, но после нескольких прослушиваний подсел на эту группу!!!!!
um . . . omg. Wasn't expecting a new album. First song. OMG. Going to Nashville in September.
Really? That opener is bizarreness girl. Whatchu smokin?
great special band special sound. Greg Dulli is a God with that voice
One of the years best albums. Greg, you're an animal! Will be seeing you guys in Nashville.
Rest in peace Dave.
Greg Dulli is a genius!
Can someone explain to me how to pick the best song from this album?!
Cause the are all the best...and they all are my favorites...Thank you The Afghan Whigs and thank you mr. Greg Dulli ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Never listened to them beforehand but this is great.
Wasn't sure if I would get to see them again. Fortunately, they will be in Dallas in October. Already have tickets in hand. Love the new album. Greg Dulli is the best song writer on the planet, imho.
Is this better than Gentleman or Black Love...
No, yet solid record.
In hindsight, it is better... 😊
Love this so much. Merci beaucoup Monsieur Dulli et gars. It’s thoughtful mesmerizing sexy et so pretty . I adore it
Instant CLASSIC from the boys!
Still listening
Thank you subpop, i would pay avidly for this yet it is free
I recently added "if you're Greg Dulli" to my okc profile question, "Why I'd want you to message me (or something)". Then I find a new album and tour. Fuck romance. Men. Music has always been there.
Its a pity I live in Scotland. I would have replied lol x
''BEAUTIFUL''
Campeche Mexico. This was my thyme
I thought that there won't be a better album than Do to the Best. I was wrong...
This one is even better :)
Is that the guy from the Dopethrone cover?! ;P
holy crap they are back again
i can't stop listening. :) they're so good.
Picked this up in a charity shop based on the album cover. Fucking hell... this doesn't happen everyday.
THAT sniff @1:49!
And at the beginning of forty dollars - twilight singers, Greg did it too.
Damn, great album.
Una señora banda de rock.
AWESOME!
Toy Automatic reminds me of Sunny Day Real Estate.
super!
Wish i could buy their records, but it's so fucking expensive here in my third world country! So fucking sad!
Since my teens!
Grazie .....
In love
So fucking underrated.
Fucking masterpiece
number one
loudness-war
🥰🥰🥰
this album is an overlooked blah blah
Into the Floor
Its no Gentleman, but it's damn good x
Reminds me of the velveteen.
beati voi che abitate in america , dove c'è una massiccia legalizzazione.
si sente l'influenza degli x-mary
esticatzi?
Ti buchi?
INCREGUBRUH!!
disculpe
toy automatic
Aguante Megadeth!! Oh perdón, Aguante Pelucas Afganas!
36 minutes? Surely you jest?
albums worth depends on its duration? It's still longer than the Beatles' classic albums.
Many classic albums are less than that. Do to the Beast isn't much longer.
I wish I could enjoy it as much as you; like Do to the Beast before it it has its moments but at other times feels a tad flat and samey to me, I don't think the song writing is as strong as it used to be. Still, it's pretty good.
Uuuff WTF👐
TOPSCHIJF !
666 like ...
I would like to put another like but 666 it's fine :)
throwback radio music... when the music was good and the artists were ugly... well, as many named chicks were on the last album, I want to say not as hyper sexualized... lol term used loosely
So different from their early records (that were different from each other too), not for good, I must say.
This is good music.. But that band name is just awful.
They got their name from bikers club under the same same.
Initially were named Iraqi Beards.
