Do You Like Rock Music?

The vocal mix is . .unusual? I decided I like the music enough to accept that vocal mix on the first few tracks for what it is. It is like hearing a MBV Loveless mix on a Pulp/Coldplay record. Not a bad thing, just seems a waste for such a great voice.

I love what they did with synths and samples on this cd. Tidal Wave-esque. It doesn't sound like MBV, but if you like them you will like this. I think.

Later tracks become clearer making for a good variety of sounds - from the Coldplay/ Arcade Fire anthems to the bright Housemartin's feel of "Open The Door."

It gets better with each listening.

To those not in the know, he is referring to the new one by British Sea Power.

I like it but I have not given it a good listen. I usually scan through an album the first time and then go back and pick things out.

Oops.

It has gotten much better with repeated listening.

This album gets better with each listening. Even the vocals change style. I haven't felt this strongly about an album since Heaven Up Here.

Oh, and the instrumental is amazing, too.

its great, but I would say that.
Typically pedantic, I would also say they can go one better.
US tour at the mo, so all you Statesiders should go see.
