i came to this record really wanting to love it but i really didn't. there are a couple of nice songs though. and it's really quite a shitty sounding record, considering albini is meant to be some sort of engineering god (i suspect he's far better at recording than mixing)

shitty sounding record = purposefully underproduced = low fi gorgeousness
that was like the point of the record. more stripped than Pod.

Don't listen to anything I said about the Sugarplastic up there. I have no idea why I said that album had parts that were "quite bad" -- the whole thing's great! It's XTC-loving weirdos making really loopy pop! With strange creepy-cuteness and odd vocal effects! I like it a lot.

Hoorah. I was just listening to Title TK again the other day and marveling at how it simultaneously sounds completely tossed off *and* completely planned out. And, the drum part to "Too Alive" is genius: always in the wrong place at the right time. In fact, I'm surprised that song isn't mentioned above as it's just amazing. I'm very ready for a new one.
