I will take the lyrics of Playboy Mansion and Miami over the pap of Magnificent, Unknown Caller, eight days a fucking week.
Really? Unknown Caller, maybe. Depends on the mood. Magnificent? That seems a bit harsh. My mammy?
In any case, I like both albums. I like NLOTH better for the reasons I stated before, and for the fact that at times, I feel like Pop tries to do too much. I love Please, LNOE, Gone, WUDM, Velvet Dress, MOFO, and, depending on the day, Discotheque. I don't like Playboy Mansion and Miami. The rest is good but doesn't catch me.
The album was all I listened to for like a year, so don't get me wrong, I think it's solid. But it hasn't grown on me like NLOTH has. Considering when many of the tracks were written, I imagine that somewhere there is an album that is an amalgam of Pop (based on the outtakes from Zooropa) and OST:V1. That album I think would hold together better, and more reflect where they were sonically at the time.
