I love it..

so dark, so deep, so much musicianship and interweaving of ideas. Rob, my friend, you're wrong.

Tis' ACE.

I love 'Return To Sea', but this is piss weak in comparison. I know you know them and stuff, but I just don't like it. Sorry.

Well it's growing on me

One outro to a song ('In the Rushes') sounds a lot like a song from Rushmore when Bill Murray & Jason Schwartzman are trashing each others things.

But as a whole I like it, although there was a song they played in Brighton Barfly with lyrics about kicking someones head like a football but don't think it made it to the album, anyone know it?

opinion noted..

I like it equally.. I think it's a varied, expansive record.. really confusing at times but great after 5-7 listens..
