Oh, and Primal Scream I guess, as Xtrmntr sounds more like the Invisbles that any record I've ever heard .. but having said that, it gets dumber and dumber with each listen. Top tunes, but it retrospect I think the sentiment is a little shallow.[/QB]
I agree about PRML SCRM. When XTRMNTR came out, I couldn't get over it, it just blew me away for a solid three-four months span of time (during which I was lucky enough to see them live...wow! loudest gig of my life, for sure). But now I can't really bring myself to listen to it, and when I do, I feel like the magic is gone and I can only really see its faults, and a certain level of shallowness is one of them. The "politics" are very black and white, and I think that is a bit off-putting in retrospect.
Nevertheless, when that record came out there was a certain zeitgeist that they had tapped into perfectly, as least for me and some other people that I know, so hats off to that. It's a perfect 'pop' record in terms of being totally of the moment and ultimately sorta disposable.
Still, "Shoot Speed/Kill Light" "XTRMNTR" and "Accelarator" are classics, I'd say.
I'll second the notion that Sister/Daydream Nation era SY is very "Barbelith". Not so much what they've done since, though...
