But now that I try to recall the songs on the record... I think you're kinda right about your "interminable and hookless" critique. Kinda right, because while I actually love a handful of these songs ("Big Dipper" rules! "Distopian Dream Girl" rules! And you can't knock "Car!" The whole song is a hook!), there are long stretches of the album where I can't remember a goddamned thing. Like, what is "Some"? What is "Israel Song"? I remember "Fling" and "Twin Falls," as they each break a string of leaden rockers, but I never liked them very much. So, yeah, good review. Maybe this one does have a super-inflated reputation. But if you can say the same thing about "Perfect From Now On," well, I'm gonna be surprised. Cuz that album rules!
