Ha...."Sometimes being a cool guy does not pay off." Ha. Guys, forgive me for trading this CD in despite liking it very much. Now I've got to find it again, used, per your reviews here. I'm hankering to hear it again.<BR/><BR/>O'GradyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757995510081828446.post-84276729861501273662008-09-13T14:45:00.000-07:002008-09-13T14:45:00.000-07:00This is a record that I definitely have overplayed...This is a record that I definitely have overplayed in my life. When I bought this I was living in a sad little apartment and would sit in my bedroom and wonder how a thing of such perfection could have existed for three years without reaching my ears. Sometimes being a cool guy does not pay off. Anyways, I became completely obsessed with this record, an obsession that only grew and grew as none of the band's other output even came close to matching it's pinnacle of pop perfection. Sure, a few songs on "The Normal Years" come close but it wasn't enough. Pretty much every song on here, except "Some," is mixtape worthy, a statement that rings true for precious few albums. "In The Morning" is one of the best album openers ever. "Reasons" never seems to get old. "Car" is probably one of the most overlooked songs of wuss pop brilliance ever set to vinyl. "Cleo" is maybe the only song written about a baby, except for Pete Krebs' "Sweet Ona Rose" that is actually great. I could go on and on about each and every song. What bugs me is that "Big Dipper" seems to be the best remembered song from here. While it is a wonderful song in its own right, it is by no means the best on the album and really barely even sounds like the band. Think The Pixies and "U-Mass." "Some" is the only song that completely gives itself over to wank, and as far as wank songs go, I have heard worse. And yes, "Distopian Dream Girl" is one of the worst song titles ever.Biff Pocarobahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963683576828172145noreply@blogger.com
