This was a bit of an early morning jolt in an attempt to overcome the hangover. Another album that I know I'm expected to like, but, but... It's too angular for me. All elbows poking you around with no smooth flow. Maybe I drank too much last night.
The Modern Dance is usually in my top ten albums of all time, but I wasn't so keen on this. Some of it I loved - the loopiness of Blow Daddy-O, for instance. Call me old-fashioned, but this lacks the direction that the actual songs on their first album add. Probably warrants another listen, and some interesting ideas, but the quirkiness seems a little mannered here in a way that 'Dance' doesn't.
