Got it today (very late, I know). First listen wasn't too inspiring - their feel for melody seemed to be missing. I get what was being said at the start of this thread, I think - where you'd have had the ridiculous stuff running through all of their previous work, here it just seemed to be pushed to the fore, given priority over the actual tunes, which is kind of the opposite of what you want (and what you'd expect).
Second listen, I loved it. Those worries evaporated as I realised that the tunes had already lodged themselves in my head after a single listen. It's a perfect mix of mid-period Lips with their more recent, post-Zaireeka albums. Stupidly catchy tunes with big, fat, loony-bin fun effects splattered all over the place, but with a huge widescreen ambience in the production.
Halfway through listen #3 now. More later. |
