    Back is the blend of lo-fi and hi-fi, and back are the completely odd lyrics. [#22, p.94]

    Seductive though Linkous' cushy, narcotic patter can be, his slower songs... feel like they're floating in an ocean of sleepiness.

    Impressing is not a word btw. Anyway, this album is disappointing. Lulling melodies, lo-fi-ish production and frontal micd vocals a great album not make. I really miss the Good Morning Spider days.… Expand
