... I guess Ray is underappreciated as always.
But anyways, yeah, I love this album. I love that 2/3s of the album is full of half-assed shitty songs and that he could have easily condensed the whole thing into one awesome 15 song album. I love that when Time Out's music critic makes an album he makes it full of out-of-tune banjos and casio synths recorded onto a Portastudio. And most of all I love that the guy's the biggest hater on Earth but still can't help but try harder when he has what seems like a good and honest love song happening.
If anybody out there is like me and didn't listen to this when it was recommended to you 7 years ago because it sounded like it might be like Built To Spill or like Guided By Voices and you don't like Built To Spill or Guided By Voices, you should listen to it because it's catchy and funny, and unlike most other catchy and funny bands it has some romanticism and honesty spilled on it like coffee mug rings in the pages of a Lynda Barry comic book.
The only bad thing about it is the overriding sense that you're poking around in Ira Glass's record collection. |
