Not Plaid's best really. this album dissapointed me deeply. And my interest in Plaid faded away very rapidly.

i have heard by many that it's exellent, i listened to it a couple of times when it came out but of some reason i didnt have the time to get into it.. and i didnt feel very impressed (with melodies and beats, sounds was nice if i remember corectly)
i hope that the album is simply more of an chalenge to get into then their other easy listened stuff and that i just have not gotten into it yet.
hopefully
oh and thanks for reminding me that this album exist, i kind of forgot.. now i know what to listen to the next few days

Plaid in general is too safe for my tastes. They color inside the lines.
Two Plaid songs I really like though are Zeal (from Spokes) and Itsu , which are catchy as fuck.

actually, i like it except for the first track... the vocal sounds are annoying to me. it still hasn't grown on me at all. so i think it's great except for that.

One thing that I forgot to mention is that they use alot of high-frequency sounds on this album which can be jarring to the ear.

It's the only Plaid album i like. Sorry, everyone. They just disappoint after Black Dog, for me. But Spokes, hey, I say "this is more like it, more of this please".

It's OK. Far from their best but not their worst either. If it comes on my iPod I'm happy but if I didn't have it on there then I don't think I'd hear it much as it's not a CD I reach for.

i didn't know what to think at first but i soon began to like it. there are 2 or 3 songs on there that i think that suck though, but the rest is pretty good.

i think spokes is one of their best records, i was a huge fan of their previous stuff and spokes was miles away from what i expected but still had (to me) the same level of quality. that means i was fucking happily surprised!

It's more advanced then their other albums imo.
Wicked harmonies and melodies....I could swear Plaid are classically trained; or they just have an amazing ear for these things.

I remember very clearly that I did not like it at all when I first heard it, but I knew it had something beautiful in it....
I think I played it for about 8 times before I could appreciate it to the fullest

for me double figure just had more to offer + plus i think it is plaid best sounding release, spokes is their darkest + at times sounds a little stale, a la some parts of cedar city.

i think the fact that it was darker than anything perviously...thats what won me over.
Double figure = GOOD
Spokes = GOODER

I hated it at first, but after some determination and about 5 listens, I really love it. Track 3 makes my mind melt like goo.

i can totally see why you like it better, but i was introduced to played through df, and i love that album, it reminds me of college and the trials and tribulations of student life - spokes reminds me of a darker more refined (subtract all of those one minute tracks) version of df.
