Sounds good to me.

 

:lol

 

me too... sounding pretty decent so far, still not too big on the single at all though

 

edit: Talking Bird studio is just as boring as the Daytrotter live version was :lol

It's good.

i'd have to disagree somewhat i think...

 

first listen i thought it was hit or miss... second listen, it's way more miss than hit.

 

there's only 3 truly great songs on here (Long Division (easily the best song on the record), Cath, Your New Twin Sized Bed (still a HORRENDOUS title though).

 

these songs are just bad:

 

Talking Bird

You Can Do Better Than Me

Pity and Fear (those drums/percussion wreak 1980's Genesis/solo Phil Collins)

 

and the rest are either just ok or pretty neutral for me at this point. musically it's interesting at times, but i'm not big on a lot of Ben's vocal performances (first track especially)

 

personally i think at least so far it's worse than Plans (which was their weakest album up until that point). it just has hardly any flow/cohesion either, which through Transatlanticism, all of their records flowed very well and were all very much an ALBUM.

 

not saying it's complete shit, but this is far from a great record (4 Stars in Rolling Stone, HAHAHA). i'd be inclined to score it about a 6-6.5 at this point. i can see msyelf enjoying it more, but definitely hasn't brought back that excitement/interest i had in their music from '98-03
