Another review. Short but very positive.

O.k. - I'll go...
This guy needs a thesaurus; uses 'horrifying' twice (in a row), 'epic' - twice, and somehow manages 'idiosyncratic' - twice.

A positive French one.

Interesting how the various reviews are praising and criticising different songs. Looks like it could be a divisive album.

I made an Account here (I always intended to but I've finally gotten round to it) to like this comment. xD Maybe people who criticise others for their writing should learn to write a bit more elegantly themselves? Ah, I love your comment.

"one of rock's most idiosyncratic lyricists rhymes "babies" with "rabies,""

Aimee Mann did the same rhyme on "Calling It Quits" and that's a great song and lyric.

Thank you JustAndrew - welcome.
And Oliver, Aimee Mann rules

 

[Oh my god. it's Robby!]

wow, that was a bit sad to read

It leaked! Listening now. I ordered the fifty dollar package, btw, so very little guilt here.

Yeah...I don’t agree with that first review at all so far. I’m 9 tracks in.

 

[Peter_Pumpkin]

don't care what people write. it has eventually leaked and "staircase at the university" is exactly why I love music and morrissey... looking forward to holding the real thing in my hands.

Clearly the reviewer doesn't understand the subject of the song or what "beat poetry" is...

Where has is supposedly leaked?

The internet.

 

[Tralala]

There are a few duds, but overall a good record. I've only ran through it twice, so of course more time with it is needed to form a definitive opinion. Highlights for me include: "Staircase...", "Julie In The Weeds", and "Art Hounds."

"Art Hounds" in particular is superb -- his best since "Pigsty."

The Anthony Carew review reads that Neil Cassidy drops dead is awful while Im not a man as the albums definitive track?... Not the way i hear it.
