I don't know what Werner is on about. My review came from about a week of heavy rotation at work and at home, and I found the tracks to be lush and spiritually nourishing. 'Lazy'? Err, as a producer I can tell you they're anything but.
I liked parts of Metropolis, but was underwhelmed by 'The Other Day.' A friend of mine (another producer) said of 'The Other Day' that "this sounds like stuff I come up with that's kind of cool, but I don't even bother recording." Which is probably a bit harsh, but when I compare 'The Other Day' to 'Every Dog' it sounds pretty sketchy and provisional. Given that it's Mills, it's a sort of 'sex and pizza' thing -- even when it's bad it's pretty good. I'm not a collector or a sycophant -- I pass on Mills records all the time because they just don't jazz me. 'Every Dog' just seems like a deepening in every dimension to what Mills has been doing all along. Your mileage may vary.
