Guest Dogboy73 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Decent review I thought. Less about the actual tracks, more about what the album might be about and how the brothers got there.

lumpenprol Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 No waaaay....Sherbet Head is one of the best tracks on the album. Different strokes, and all that, but I'm curious how anyone could dislike it. It's so atmospheric, you could cut it with a knife...also hearkens back to Turquoise Hex Sun, so if you're a fan, not sure what there's not to like about the track...anyway it's short so, I would think it'd be hard to be offended by it...

Guest Papillon Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I was a little surprised that he said TCH was a flop. I thought it was a great album, I still listen to it often. Actual the guardian interview and WATMM froums are the first time I've heard that people didn't like it. They had the wrong guy do the review, his favourite album of 2012 was Frank Ocean.

There is a some female voice in there saying "1990" or something. One of my favourites. I keep thinking I also hear a sample of Marshall Applewhite in there but it's probably just me. It's okay but the melody is rather lame compared to SH.
