La Peste is the second studio album by Alabama 3, released in 2000. [4] [5]
The album peaked at No. 80 on the UK Albums Chart. [6]
Record Collector called the album "a dreamy romp through cinematic mini-masterpieces including 'Sad Eyed Lady Of The Low Life', 'Mansion On The Hill' and 'The Thrills Are Gone'." [7] Trouser Press called it "a disappointing disgrace of an album," writing "the new, gussied-up A3 (designed, perhaps, not to offend Sopranos fans) is merely overproduced and out of ideas." [8] NME deemed it "deeply pointless, if hilarious" and an "almost monumental waste of time." [9] The Independent judged it "infectiously intelligent," writing that the band still operates "fruitfully at the convergence of country, funk, gospel and drug culture." [10]
