abasio Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Surely liking/disliking the album has nothing to do with sense, understanding music or cleaning ears and is merely a matter of taste and expectations and whether those expectations were met. May sound strange, and perhaps unfair, but I think I'd enjoy the album a little more and not criticise it quite so much had other artists been responsible for it. The trouble is I can't help comparing it to the last Younger Brother album, Benji's two solo albums, and all of Simon's previous solo/collaborative albums and, held up against any one of those, this new album pales into insignificance.Well santo, you'll probably like this more with time as your expectations wear off!

Charlie Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Well, you never know but, really, I doubt it. One of the key things I appreciate in music is individuality, the artist's ability to create something unique that no other artists could create or even mimic. This album is a strange mixture of Air, Pink Floyd, Aphex Twin, Massive Attack and has none of the signature Simon or Benji hallmarks. It doesn't stand out.
