For me, it's a bit too sing-songy, and I guess that wouldn't be such a problem if the lyrics weren't so silly/pretentious. "The Lemon of Pink" is my fav. |

ah, i see. i don't listen to lyrics. only to sounds of speech so i don't care. Lemon Of Pink was cool, but right now i don't remember any track from it. gonna check it out again. |

The lemon of pink was awful, really ; I can't get into that kind of music... =( |

i thought this was their worst as well, but still an okay/good album. has some great tracks. the opener works well as what it is, an opener, the next track is great and i think 'owl with knees' is one of their best tracks lemon of pink is my favorite because of how cohesive it is and thought for food is just behind it because it doesn't mesh as well as lemon of pink. |

pretty much the only good album to come out of 2005. 2005 was by far one of the worst years for music *ever*. |

I used to really dislike this album, as Jon/clic says, much too songy. but I've really grown to like it. in fact, I'd say "thought for food" is the weakest, simply because it's all over the place and not yet as well defined as "lemon of pink" or "lost and safe". |

I quite like the lyrics. I don't really feel their pretentious because I get the idea that he's generally singing about stuff he's genuinely interested in, it's not "putting on a show", if you will. and I also really appreciate him trying to do something else with lyrics. that said, I also disliked the lyrics when I first heard the album. it was only when I saw them live in february that I finally heard how beautiful in places the lyrics are. for example, "meanwhile, the statues are bleeding green" in "smells like content" is nice, I think. overall my favourite is probably "venice". that really is a fun track. I read a review that said that that track was melancholy. I really have no idea how you can see that track as melancholy, it's very playful to me. the only track I really don't like is the first one, "a little longing goes a long way". I just can't stand the slowness of it, but even worse is the effect over his voice. that just sounds like "oh look we found this effect and we really like it and that's just about the only thing that's going on in this song". bleh. |

that "their" should be "they're".. |
||||||||

|
|
and I just noticed the last track wasn't in the cd tracklist in the discog, eventhough I did enter it in the LP tracklist. |
