anyways, I've mentioned before that the song "Bull in the Heather" initially made me feel obliged to dig deeper into their discography. As mentioned above, Confusion is Sex is the most difficult to understand at first. Overcoming the first few listens was very rewarding for me though  |
Lots of contradiction in these statements. You state that
Goo "isn't very impressive as a whole", but then go on to label 7 of the album's 11 tracks as "great". I'll give you 'My Friend Goo', but 'Mary Christ' is one bad-ass tune (would fit right in on Thurston's
Psychic Hearts). 'Titanium Expose' is yet another "great" tune and 'Scooter & Jinx' - on good headphones - can prove to be quite transportive. I'm not saying it's you, per se, but a lot of folks on this board think it's cool to say
Goo and
Dirty are SY's "sell-out" albums and cite
A Thousand Leaves and
New York City Ghosts & Flowers as somehow being superior albums. To each his own (obviously), but
Goo and
Dirty should be viewed as the SY cornerstones they, in fact, are...
