Do to the Beast by Afghan Whigs
Do to the Beast is an album by Afghan Whigs, released in 2014. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Algiers”, on 3 lists with a best position of #73.
Do to the Beast, the Afghan Whigs' seventh studio album, landed on April 15, 2014, their first new record in 16 years, and it brought the Cincinnati band home to Sub Pop, the label that had put out Up in It and Congregation. Greg Dulli, who had spent years telling interviewers the band would never get back together, produced it himself, with David Rosser on guitar.
The old Whigs formula is intact: rock guitars bent toward R&B and soul, and Dulli still sounding like a man confessing to things he isn't sorry for. It's darker and more cinematic than a comeback has any right to be, and "Algiers", with its slow-burning, widescreen sweep, kept showing up on the countdowns for years afterward.
