Burgold Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I like it. Different than the usual pablum. Title confused me a bit, because I was thinking of the classic book (unless it's from there, I know of it a little, but haven't read it) I enjoy when people stretch a little.

Granted, it's not Lonesome Crowded West--but still a solid effort. About a thousand times better than most anything you'll hear on the radio.

I hate things that other people like. I guess I'm the yuppie douchebag. I actually liked that album and then I went back and got all their older cds and loved them.

They're really (were) unlike any other band I've ever heard. Well, if you like their old stuff you're probably not what I was describing. I was thinking more of people who loved the "new" band Modest Mouse and at the same time also loved the new J-Lo song, or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
