solace Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Ditto. Picked it up tonight, eventhough it only got a 6.8 on pitchfork. I would have snatched it up it it had gotten a 7.1 or better a few weeks ago, but it was on sale, so a 6.8 was acceptable. def a solid 7.5-8 record for me, if not higher. like poon said, nothing groundbreaking, just really haunting & gorgeous melodies, and it works really really well as a full album, which always helps for me. funny that 2 of my fave records this year (Midlake & Tim O'Reagan) are total 70's throwbacks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh yeah, but great to listen to loud, that's what I've found Ditto. Picked it up tonight, eventhough it only got a 6.8 on pitchfork.
