It automatically archives: I'm sure some people are probably frustrated that I didn't give a 'proper' review but we just don't do that sort of thing on there. But it is amazing, though it's taken me a while to get used to the not-live versions. 'Cooking' sadly doesn't have the crazy rap ending. It's a much gentler song on CD. The intro (and outro) to Dr. Abernathy is, I reckon, the most perfect thing Green's ever put to disc. 'Petrococadollar' is also pretty stunning. Another gentle sighing song. The whole record is a lot softer than you might expect from the live arrangements - even 'E11th Nuts'. ''Road To Regret' manages to sound like 'Watermark'-era Art Garfunkel (this is a very good thing, of course). 'Mrs Hughes' is nuts, another with loads of different musical sections and movements and ridiculous lyrics yet still very very melodic and harmonic. I know I'm skipping tracks but there's just so much going on on this album that I haven't begun to formulate opinions on a lot of it other than "wow" "gosh" and "blimey". It's an incredible piece of work and one that will stand up to years of listening. I loved A&B but it was very much of one mood, if that makes sense. This is a far more complex, inventive and rewarding record. Hi, we do have a permanent link. It automatically archives:
