This isn't an album that's worthy of an anniversary column.
I'm really, really digging it. Great write up, and great album so far. Also, speaking of OCD, I know it's minor, but can you please change it to Music has THE Right To Children?
I wonder if Bono would see things differently if he took off those stupid glasses.
Sounds like Aphex Twin. YAY!!!
well, i know what album i'll be listening to exclusively this autumn & winter.
Songs of Experience? You mean Innocence of course.
i haven't listened to XTC in at least 15 years, but if i just close my eyes, i can hear all the hits in my head like i just played them. never was the biggest album fan of theirs, but those singles...man.
Yeah, I've cleared my cache multiple times, thought it was just me.
Shouldn't this be in Where's The Beef?
What concerts will members of Arcade Fire randomly show up at now that their tour is over?? Vote now! We'll keep you up to date on all things even peripherally related to Arcade Fire, here at Stereogum!
I suffered through 50 seconds of that weak shit before there was even a hint of a 'pretty girl' and she wasn't even all that pretty. :(
The VMAZ suck that's my comment lol trollol
You guys should just start a column of stories culled from TMZ.
But it's ok if they test on humans. To, you know, find cures for ALS.
I've waited all day to get home from work so I could write 'Or a supergroup Bob Seger started with Bon Iver!' Now that I've written it, i see it was funnier this morning.
Bon Seger is Bob's brother.
Glad you guys finally just broke and did a column! P.S. Bon Seger, The Fire Inside.
Reads like the release was run from English to something else and back to English on Google Translate or something.
Disappointed there's no duet with Steve Whiteman.
Well, it isn't Kix, but it'll do.
Pretty cool that, due to where the banner headline is placed on the main page, this truly is the Smashing Pumpkin's head.
That'd be neat to see. Do you just sort of slither around on the ground, like a snake?
anyone else remember when this was supposed to come out just a few months after 'no line'?
Yes, the remarks to NPR. Sounds like something an 18 year old would write after smoking weed for the first time.
Wow, what a pretentious bunch of gobbledygook.

ruck-ing wall (ruk king wahl) 'noun' A wall used for the purpose of rucking.
Always liked the Chromatics cover best. Though to be fair, I've only heard a few of these. Bat for Lashes drives me up the rucking wall.
her music is the kind where people who want to seem cool will say there are good songs or albums, but if you really take the time to listen to any of it, you realize it's all pretty shitty.
i never said it wasn't. of course it is. any drug is if you take too much of it. but this whole demonization of mdma like it's the sole cause of all these deaths is ridiculously. people howl out of their butts way too much.
that's right. it's the molly. (i imagine saying this like principal skinner said 'it's the reed.") not the dehydration or, conversely, the overhydration. or the tons of adulterants that are in whatever shit they're buying. pure mdma doesn't cause any of that bullshit. except for the exuberance, i suppose.
