Oh, it flows alright. And certainly has rockers in there. I was thinking of tunes like "Turquoise Boy", "Jams Run Free" and "Reena" - the Kim songs were pretty smooth on that record. But some of Thurston's tunes flow in that way too - especially "Do You Believe In Rapture?" and "Lights Out". In general, I think the sounds lean towards a "warmer" timbre. I think it has a smooth quality to it that is somewhat hard to put my finger on. Like, perfect to put on whilst sitting on a porch or a balcony somewhere gazing into a blue afternoon sky, having a nice beverage or something. Not discounting the more dissonant and experimental tunes of course - "Pink Steam" is a proper trip and a banger at that. I just feel it has a very "breezy" atmosphere overall, and I mean that in the best way possible. That's what I'm getting out of Rather Ripped. And I think it pulls that off pretty damn well. Just my impression though.
PS: "Helen Lundeberg" on the European special edition is a gem too.
