 Powderfinger 's Vulture Street was released on 4 July 2003 , and became their third album to peak at No. 1 in Australia , while in New Zealand it reached No. 17 . Recorded in January and February 2003 , it was named for the location of the band 's first recording room in West End , Brisbane . The Sydney Morning Herald 's music critic , Bernard Zuel approved of " a rawer , louder , but by no means unrefined , album " with " a real energy here that has some connections to early Powderfinger , but bears the mark of a superior intellect " , he felt it had Haug and Middleton " dominating in a way they had not since their 1994 debut " album . Simon Evans of musicOMH described the group as having " opted for a visceral live feel , adding a real punch to songs " . Middleton described the band 's aim was to " get a sound in the songs that was reminiscent of things we grew up loving , which was Bowie , Zeppelin , Kiss ... that sort of thing ; all based in the 70s . We wanted to sonically have that as well , so it 's a very old @-@ school @-@ sounding record . It 's all the old amps , we used old guitars and recorded to tape , of course . It 's fairly organic in that sense " . Vulture Street won four ARIA Awards in 2003 : " Album of the Year " , " Best Group " , " Best Rock Album " and " Best Cover Art " ( by Steven <unk> , Revolution Design ) . Singles issued from the album are : " ( Baby I 've Got You ) On My Mind " , " Since You 've Been Gone " , " Love Your Way " , and " Sunsets " . Tracks were also nominated for awards in 2003 and 2004 .
