Last week I finally bought Body/Head's Coming Apart double vinyl, mainly because I found it 40 % discount price in local record store's closure sale. On Saturday I had chance to listen to it without being interrupted and I have to admit I was surprised how good it sounded! I didn't have very high expectations, maybe 'cause Kim Gordon's gig with Ikue Mori about 2-3 years ago was totally boring.
The only thing I miss is that there should be little more beat, drums or drum machine etc. Yes there's some percussion for example in "Last Mistress" but more would be better. Nevertheless I take back my bad words and join in group of SY fans who also like Coming Apart.
I don't think I can listen to this album very often, 'cause my wife don't like Kim Gordon's voice and kids want more rhythmic music, but it has a place in my record collection.
(I tried to find a thread of this album but couldn't find it, so I apologize if there already was a thread about Coming Apart).)
