What the label says:

His second release for the Dreamworks label, and fifth overall, Figure 8 is a lush and beautifully melancholy collection of pop songs. Gone is the intimate lo-fi feel of his Kill Rock Stars albums, replaced by intricate arrangements and orchestration. One gets the feeling that the sound of his earlier work was not by choice but by economic necessity and Smith was now, with a major label budget and backing, able to establish himself as a pop craftsman on par with Brian Wilson and Paul McCartney. Track listing: 1. Son Of Sam 2.Somebody That I Used To Know 3. Junk Bond Trader 4. Everything Reminds Me Of Her 5. Everything Means Nothing To Me 6.LA 7. In The Lost And Found (Honky Bach) / The Roost 8. Stupidity Tries 9. Easy Way Out 10. Wouldn’t Mama Be Proud 11. Color Bars 12. Happiness / The Gondola Man 13. Pretty Mary K 14. I Better Be Quiet Now 15. Can’t Make A Sound 16. Bye

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
