So this album sucks.
Just kidding!
It's OK. Nowhere near my favorite - and here's why!:
I hate the french
I hate socialists
I hate keyboards
I hate drum machines
English people like bad indian food
Sushi is gross
Stereolab are the reasons for war in the world
They cancelled Seinfeld
They butchered a hog
They stole my rollercoaster
They really know how to mess up to the max
Rock over london, rock on chicago -
Chili's - I want my baby back ribs.
Just kidding!
No, this is a fine album. Most folks think it's their best. Not I. I say this because while most the songs are great, there's some stuff that's just questionable. Like that song "Spark Plug". Like, some weird funky thing after 4 fantastic songs. It sounds really out of place here, like bad groovin' something er other. Not too pleasing at all. Also, "The Noise of Carpet" sounds like a rocking tune, but its too "generic-ly" rocking for my likes. I mean, its STEREOLAB! C'mon, yall aren't generic at all! That's Public Image Ltd's job.
It also feels like after such a strong first half, the seconds lags at times, but when it picks up, it picks up!
"Slow Fast Hazel" just does that, and it ends and its all beautiful and stuff. But some of the second half stuff, while good, also gets to be quite samey, and because of that, songs blend together and you sometimes feel like you've heard this song already. But what can you do?
NOT LISTEN TO IT!
No, but this is an enjoyable album and all that, just make sure that you take off your shoes.
OVERALL RATING - Hand sanitzin' goodness yo!
KEY TRACKS - Slow Fast Hazel, Les Yper-Sound, Motoroller Scalatron
