Are you saying he's stuck up? Or you just don't like the writing?

I'm playing Heyday now for the first time in eons.

neither. i think kilbey's ego is unjustifiably massive, despite being a big fan of most of what he's done

i haven't read all the posts (or wherever else you're getting that impression from). my sense though was that he was a fairly healthy sense of the fact that people haven't always liked what he's done, including those things he's really proud of.

I just busted this album out yesterday! One of my last acquisitions from episodes of 120 Minutes that I had on tape 20 years ago and never quite got around to buying.

The cool thing on this set of material by the Church is that they really lay back on the tempos and drive giving the music alot of space. It's harder to play slow and keep the music interesting and moving, even the old jazz guys will tell you that. That space allows the music to breathe and gives it dynamics, perhaps best illustrated on the title track. I love Koppes solo with the big delay on that tune.

New album is wonderful. Hearkens back to their early '80s run with lots of beautiful gothy synths in the background. Really great.

Had to miss the tour stop here, sadly, but definitely need to catch up to the album.

I picked up P = A from the Salvation Army a few weeks ago and have been pleasantly surprised. I mean, I knew it was a fan favourite but it was where I fell off the wagon as a yoof. (Along with Wish, from the same year, the drowsy jams with long running times I heard via radio were pleasant enough but not something I felt any need to invest in.)

But yeah, it's quite good. Though I would have dropped the opening/title track to get the total running time under an hour. It doesn't do much musically, thereby drawing too much attention to some rather dopey lyrics IMHO.
