awesome album

sampling some tracks on youtube and this sounds wonderful

Album Rating: 5.0

It really is. Sweeping statement I know, but it's probably the best drunk late night/hangover record ever recorded.



@ Zak, 'The Copper Top' and 'The Greatest Story Ever Told' are both among my songs of the decade so far. I actually know someone who had the latter read at his wedding, such a beautiful lyric.

"Birth love and death, the only reasons to get dressed up.
I loosen my tie."

I know why you laughed and you should know you were wrong

A very special record for some very special times. Instantly recognisible Scottish mumbling over some bittersweet laid back instrumentation that sometimes swells and builds only to fade out again - it's quite bloody brilliant in it's own intimate way.



Relistened to it today, found that "Soaps" has a lot in common with Nick Cave's "The Boatman's Call" material.

you think about chasing her about school when you were wee, lying in your bed, listenin' to love songs and pretendin' they were aboot you

Album Rating: 4.5

yeah

it's not that there's no trust as such
i'd love to make up, but I've had too much

you forget how painful these lyrics are

you have to remember the kiss that you worked so hard on - and you'll know you've done the right thing.

Bump, gonna spin this and Sebadoh tomorrow, among other things, excited.

Bump.

good bump, need to jam this more. i just always find myself listening to elephant shoe when i'm in the mood for some arab strap

this has some filler (fillerphobia, eh) but it has so many classics

Album Rating: 5.0

Lol, I never noticed how Zak resurrected this on a yearly basis
