I like Codes & Keys a shade better than Narrow Stairs, tho both are fairly dull affairs, save for a couple of good tunes.
"You haven't heard this yet? Where the hell have you been?" That whole attitude that assumes those who heard something first somehow have more of an authentic window into the music is pure horseshit.
Their older albums actually are pretty dull to my ears now too though. Maybe they haven't aged well, maybe I listened to them far too much back in the day.
Were we having this discussion 10 years ago, I'd be singing a much different tune. I just rarely want to listen to more than one or two songs from the older albums these days. Then again, I rarely want to listen to more than one or two of their songs from the newer ones either.
I'd say that's about 90% my fault, I went through a period between Transatlanticm and Plans where I listened to them all the time.
Really? I only really care about 3 songs from that album. Admittedly I need to listen to the whole thing again, but I found 808s had a "here are a few Greatest Hits songs and a bunch of filler!" vibe to it.
