It's hard to explain what's wrong with West...it's just off. The flow of the whole thing is wrong, and the songs are all off by just enough to make it sound...clunky. It sounds like a drunken record, and not in a good way. Nothing flows, nothing sounds like it fits. It's just...off. It's wrong. It could have been a good record. It's just not right. _________________ I'm leaning on the threshold

I'm on the third song and I can dig what it's doing so far. When does the awful hit me in the face?

Maybe it won't hit you...maybe it's just how it hit me. But if it does go south for you, expect it at track 11.
I do know people who like it...so it could be more me than her. But the flow of the songs is just wrong to me. _________________ I'm leaning on the threshold

It's not that I dislike Neu! (they were my avatar for like a year), it's just that I hate the debut. It's just kinda a chore to listen through, with no real payoff. Far far FAR prefer Neu! 75. _________________

I might see what you are getting at with the drunken jabs though; she is enunciating? slurring? her words a little bit off which does catch me a little off-guard. At times it sounds like it came out of the contemporary singer-songwriter era of the 90s rear end which isn't a good fit for Lucinda. But I'm not offended by this record so far.... it's just there.

In terms of high expectations that failed in an EPIC way....Chinese Democracy by GNR was appalling. Some albums that just make me want to hurt something when I hear someone playing them....Hotel California by The Eagles....The Joshua Tree by u2 and Rumors by Fleetwood Mac.
