"Shark Fin Blues"/"You Really Don't Care" Released: 27 March 2006
Wait Long by the River and the Bodies of Your Enemies Will Float By is the second album released by the Drones. Recorded "100% live" (like its predecessor),[1] the album draws influence from the likes of Neil Young and Rowland S. Howard, though it has been described by lead singer/guitarist Gareth Liddiard himself as a punk rock album.[2] The lyrics, penned by Liddiard (except This Time co-written with former band member James McCann) deal with issues such as death, depression and alcoholism in its depiction of Australian working class life.[3][4]
The album received critical acclaim upon release, regarded later on as the band's "break-out" and one of their most popular releases.[5] The track "Shark Fin Blues", in particular, went on to become a concert staple and was voted by contemporary Australian songwriters as the greatest Australian song of all time in October 2009.[6] The album itself was performed live in its entirety many times, even as a part of the acclaimed Don't Look Back concert series. In 2008, The Age ranked it the best Australian album of the 21st century.[7] Three years later, the band's contemporaries & "industry experts" would vote it the 24th best Australian album of all time.[8] In 2021, Rolling Stone Australia included Wait Long on their list of "The 200 Greatest Australian Albums of All Time".[9]
