The critics raved about Odelay, and I didn't care much for it. BUT "Sea Change" is a whole different animal. An entirely different style, as different as STAS is from Mingus. The whole CD flows almost as one song, in much the same way as "Dark Side of the Moon". And the production is also very similar to Radiohead's newer works, melodic and ambient and textural. Some of the vocals are a little mushy, but that's not anything I have any problem with. His use of strings & orchestration here is reminiscent of what "Madman Across The Water" sounded like. Pretty awesome. Look for this one ending up on LOTS of "Ten Best" lists, mine included. Bob NP: Cheap Trick, "Take Me, I'm Yours"
