I'll try to remember that.
The Beast and Dragon, Adored is the track that first hooked me onto this by the way. |

So do I start with this one or elsewhere?
My Mathmatical Mind is the Oasisy one - it starts that way and I can't listen all the way through to see if it stops doing it. |

Well if you like this one go with it. But there is a definite progression to their records. The first is more lo-fi, Pixies-esque rockers. The second is like that, but much "sounds like Spoon" rather than "sounds like the Pixies". The third is just plain cool, mellowing out a bit adding piano. The third almost totally drops the guitar in favour of the piano. The common theme is the great use of space and great melodies.

| Rita with such lofty recommendation from you I'd be mad not to go for it. |

Brian, I felt almost the same way when I first got it. Like My Mathematical Mind just keeps going and going and more and more of the same and is he trying. I never had a problem with the vocals, though. But I've since listened to it more and actually quite like it, though I wouldn't put it in the ballpark of his previous works.

| Having recently had this disk on roadtrip rotation, I was shocked, shocked mind you, to find this tread upon my return. So I asked myself, am I crazy? (Yes, I mean crazier than usual.) Upon a fresh, newly skeptical listen, I proclaim "No Way!" The only tracks I'm not too hip on are Sister Jack and They Never Got You. I quite like Monsieur Valentine, Mathematical Mind,I Summon You, and Was It You. Is it the best Spoon yet? Time will tell but likely not, but it is true Spoon if you're into it. Also, that bonus disk plays well too. |
