hmmmm... i love the record, and i acknowldege that one of my faults is
that if someone or something is big, then instinctively i try to pummel
it, or shy from liking it....it's hardly in me, but i know it is. But i
really love the record,especially "Alberto Balsam"....for me that track is
the perfect representation of content happiness...that mood that is
so beautiful, you want to add a little skip in your step when you
walk.....it's so
beautiful...makes me wanna cry everytime i hear it honestly....i think
"wax the nip" is shit(though doesn't everybody love this?!), and i haven't
been impressed with "start as you mean..."....otherwise it's just fucking
good music that even my prejudiced insides can't ignore....
