Yeah, it's easy to write off as some dance-punk 80s-copying, but the album is so much more than a collection of influences regurgitated into a collection of singles. The album coalesces in a way that's truly transcendent (start with "Someone Great" and "All My Friends").Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17978706888431958274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-21945016187773862852007-07-24T00:53:00.000-04:002007-07-24T00:53:00.000-04:00I can't believe you left Tommy Womack's "There, I ...I can't believe you left Tommy Womack's "There, I Said It" off the list. <BR/><BR/>Oh well.

But if it's similar to "Gimme Fiction," I'm sure I'll like it very much. The track on the latest Paste sampler sounded great.<BR/><BR/>Re: the number of albums ... you have no idea. Those are the good ones. I couldn't even begin to list all the bad ones, the ones that have received a cursory five-minute overview, and, God forbid, the ones I've never played at all. There are a lot of them. <BR/><BR/>I'm not complaining. It's a nice problem to have. Until you start getting the emails and phone calls from the music publicists ...Andy Whitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010130934552315074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-75932118951097814132007-07-23T16:21:00.000-04:002007-07-23T16:21:00.000-04:00Have you heard Spoon's new one yet?

Not sure if you're a fan, but I'm enjoying it, even if it's not a big leap from <I>Gimme Fiction</I>.<BR/><BR/>I'm mostly just impressed with how many albums you've filtered into your ears the past seven months.
