What we say

Rating: unmoved This record left our Brian feeling unmoved.

That band I don't like are back. The Mountain Goats continue to tarnish 4ADs reputation with their brand of reedy alt country nerd folk. I'm 3 songs in & all I can still think about is a shitter Waterboys. Just like last time. Jeez. Track 4, 'Dilaudid', is amazing, however, featuring solely insistent strings & an increasingly bitter & frantic vocal rant. The vibe from it bizarrely reminds me of Philip Glass's disembodied reworking of Bowie's 'Heroes' in It's intensity. The rest of the album can go shove it though.. CD

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
