Even once I've moved past the fact that I don't agree with it, I still can't listen to it. His arrogant smug-as-fuck voice in that song gets under my skin every time. It just seems so pathetic.
That said, I think it's the only Xiu Xiu song that I dislike.
Jackie Blue:
Also I'm not really getting "Goo Goo Dolls" from "F.T.W.", I'm getting a little bit of Arcade Fire from it.
I eagearly await the next album having a song called "Lurk Moar".
jeph:
It's the acoustic at the beginning that trips my Goo Goo Dolls security system.
Jackie Blue:
See, to me that acoustic strumming is totally post-Springsteen. Goo Goo Dolls never did anything that good.
Halitosis:
I really want to buy this album twice when it's out, and that's not just because the iTunes version has a bunch of bonus tracks. This album's given me a new love for the band, I've been listening to practically nothing but Xiu Xiu this weekend. I'm thrilled to go see them in April. It's kind of depressing to know that nothing else this year will top something released in January.
EDIT: One thing I do want to note is that the Under Pressure cover seems to lose steam about halfway through. Maybe I'll learn to appreciate it more as I continue to listen.
