That's pretty cool. Although it's not a xylophone on I Burn Today, sounds like a glockenspiel to me. Strange also that you didn't like Honeycomb and My Life Is In Storage, my 2 faves on the album. But hey, to each his own. Very nice review all in all, Jeff.

Dear Jeff,
The songs which you weren't too keen on are among my favorites on the record. I think your lack of interest in them has more to do with the rest of the record wearing you out emotionally before you got to "Storage" and "Honeycomb." May I suggest that next time you listen, try starting with those six middling tracks.
Otherwise, a fine review.
bye,
Jon Tiven |

nice review jeff. song of the shrimp is one of my fav's as well.
definately check out frank's previous work. a lot of his stuff does take numerous spins..... but then you just get hooked! teenager of the year is a classic. actually all of his stuff are classics...
i would say his more recent stuff resembles slightly more to honeycomb or gives hints to honeycomb- black letter days and show me your tears.

| You know Jon, I bet you're right about being worn down by the early stages of the record as that does seem to be how I feel when I get there. I will try starting with those and see how it changes. It is a very deep album and emotionally draws you in very early on. My 2 boys (ages 6 & 3) love Song Of The Shrimp, they think it's hilarious that the shrimp are talking to each other about such things. |

| I wouldn't say battling, I'm actually agreeing that he could be right about the reason why I'm not as into those songs. There's only one song on the album that I actually disliked and it was Another Velvet Nightmare. By the way Jon, was there a conscious Van Morrison influence or was I just reading too much into it? |

Isn't it what the forum is here for anyway? Reading too much into Frank's songs?
