We’ve only just started picking through Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks’ Richard Avedon-referencing Real Emotional Trash, so it’s still too premature to get Premature. Though we certainly did like the first MP3, “Baltimore” and its run-on guitars. Actually, the whole album seems pretty knotty, but again, we need more time. While we smash our heads against the pavement, why not let us know what you think about the swirly decor and less-swirly tracklist?

everything is great so far about the album.
album of the year. seriously.
Is it possible for Malkmus to phone everything in, in perpetuity? After his constructive use of ‘limby’ on ‘Baby C’mon’ I’d thought he’d reached new lows. Then the Face the Truth tour happened, and was completely lifeless. Next thing I know I’m four minutes into Hopscotch Willie and I’m bored out of my mind. Nevertheless, I’m actually shocked there aren’t more corny indie fuxxors praising this to the stars.
There aren’t too many albums I’m looking forward to this year, but this is one of ‘em, even if it’s phoned in it should have some gems.
Spiralling downhill since the incredible solo debut, no? Here’s hoping the new one doesn’t bore me to death.
if the use of limby invalidates those glorious guitars,
then i suggest you cease battling your crippling foot-rot
i believe the malk has always referred to them as, simply, “jicks”,” no?

God forbid that someone have an opinion.
ask Mr. Malkmus a question for a new mag interview: http://www.blender.com/talk_blender/superstar/?src=dx16:mtd
