FIGHTING WORDS!

Seriously though, which ones?  I'm curious, 'cause as far as I can tell it's pretty much a perfect pop album.  No flaming, I promise.

I like the album! 'The blues are still blue' is a great pastiche I would say! At the moment all the songs soud similar and it maybe doesn't have as much exciting variety as DCW had. DCW was pure genius in my opinion!
'Funny little frog' definately stands out as the catchiest song. Not too keen on 'Mornington Crescent' though. Love the cover and book design!

 I really feel like if I didn't have Belle and Sebastian there would be something missing in my life, they make me so happy!

I've never liked "The Boy Done Wrong Again", it just whines along for a while. However it may also have to do with the fact that it is followed by "Judy and the Dream of Horses" which may make it look worse.
For reference my favourite B&S record is the Jonathan David single.

Boy done wrong again, fox in the snow, and, actually, Like Dylan in the Movies.  That song doesn't annoy me, but I just don't think it in any way stand up to the gauntlet of the first three songs.
And then the last two tracks don't stand up to the three before them.

So, three great, one meh, one blargh, three great, one blargh, one meh.

While, the life pursuit went good, great, great, good, good, great, okay, meh, great, good, meh, good, okay.  So I can listen to the entire album without being letdown for long periods of time.

I loved feeling sinister, then I got the boy with the arab strap and was a little bit dissapointed, so I wasn't sure about getting the life persuit, but I love it, it was more rockin' then I expected from them, my favs are: song for sunshine, funny little frog, we are the sleepyheads, and the rest of the tracks are good too.
