i love spokes. but lots dont i guess. people ive talked to say plaid lost the "charm" that was on double figure or other albums. which may be so, but i dont think it was meant to be there for this particular album. comparing something like spokes to double figure wouldnt work because they are entirely different. like comparing tri repetae to something like confield; distinctively different.
in the back of my mind i always wanted them to make something like this, even if tons of people didnt like it. its basically all elements of plaid i liked the most and made an album entirely from them. i definitely didnt want another double figure. i like double figure but something about it bugged me.
and it seems im alone mostly on this one. at least here. i really dont know what people were expecting, all the people who like plaid but hate spokes. it sounded like a clearly natural progression to me. listen to stills, itsu, miami vice, quickemit. then listen to spokes.
i pray to god that people can make the connection.

That seems funny. New Plaid album, with really amazing songs and no talk about it yet. What gives?

Seems funny no one is tired of Radiohead ripping of electronic artists and doing a really bad job at it.

The departure in mood is probably due to the fact that Not For Threes, Rest Proof Clockwork and Double Figure were a trilogy if I remember rightly. Spokes is the start of something new. I love it, and find it easier to listen to than other previous Plaid albums. Its more consistent and I don't find myself occasionally waiting for a better song to come on like I did with their previous albums.

Plaid is great, and Spokes represents just that.

35 topics so far containing "spokes AND plaid". topics covering 'spokes' alone, is twice that, but may have been used in other contexts.

Not too fond of Rest Proof Clockwork (but I should perhaps give it a 2nd chance). Spokes, Double Figure, P-Brane and Booc are nothing short of amazing though.
