Find the Way Out, a very good Stylus Magazine review

[BeeOK]

So, some facts. Firstly, Find The Way Out runs in deadeningly logical chronological order, starting with a handful of very hard-to-find tracks from their “missing” (presumed disowned) first album, the noisy, aimless, sub-Dinosaur Jr. Ichabod & I , before working through their other albums in order. These are, in case you don’t know, the raggedy FX-pedal indie of Everything’s Alright Forever ; the quantum-leap into eclectic genius of Giant Steps ; the hit-housing obtuse Britpop of Wake Up! ; the gloriously energetic artrock of C’Mon Kids ; and finally the lacklustre but appealing farewell of Kingsize . In case you didn’t notice, that’s two outstanding albums, two very good albums, one OK album and one album that no one’s heard because you can’t get it anywhere and even the band think it’s pretty poor.

Not many people understand the brilliance that is Kingsize .

how nice to see an album review that's more than 3 paragraphs long!

and it seems to be a carefully considered review too, though I personally I lurve Kingsize to bits!

seriously though, one thing that continues to bug me about the NME is that it doesn't give enough space to album (or single)reviews and most of the monthlies only do big reviews for a few high profil releases.

I know Nick. He always writes long messages.

He has a very varied music taste but has always liked the Boos (I know him via Embrace board).

He's also very good at advice.

Love & Peace
