listening to Wasp Star for the first time in forever and wow I forgot how late-90s altrock it sounds. it's like a good version of the Fastball album. some moments remind me of Third Eye Blind. hard to believe it's actually XTC sometimes.
pretty weird final album in retrospect, it sounds like a debut somehow. idk of any other artists with long careers who have pulled off something like that. I don't mean albums where they sound young I mean albums that sound like a good band's first set of songs produced to be very of its era
