hey! wow! i just heard the new album....wow... its different but in a good way. it reminds me of listening to both LCW and Long Drive in a big cave. echoes and spooky noises. it feels confined and dark, which seems to be at odds with the expanse and emptiness that the title suggests. crowded. claustrophobic. my biggest complaint is that the new version of Dark Center of the Universe lacks the energy that the japanese tour e.p version has. it seems flatter. Someone mentioned how I Came As a Rat was a bad title for a bad song... i dunno im really starting to dig this song. And Tiny Cities Made of Ashes sounds like Beck. i dont know what to make of this. it's a great song, but it's a Beck song. Oh, and getting a bit to analytical and most likely reading into it way to far, (and fearing bringing up old wounds...) but does anyone else think that Perfect Disguise could be about the issac vs. unamed person rumour that was rampant last year? okay. this has been my schizophrenic/ A.D.D. review Z ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
