Music, on sinister? I'm sure someone said something along those lines, but I can't seem to find the post, hence no "" marks. So, music, and Storytelling. Seems to have been quite a lot of criticism of that considering this is generally a list of fans, and indeed criticism of the band's recentness (think I made that word up). Perhaps Storytelling didn't have the immediate catchy tunes from the If your feeling Sinister era, but perhaps that isn't such a bad thing. Some people evidently are not convinced by this style: "Here's my take on it: Storytelling was made for a movie, right? It's definitely not their best work, but it has some redeeming songs on it, right?....Anyway, what I'm getting at is that we should forgive them Storytelling..." I certainly enjoyed Storytelling, a nice mix of, well, everything really. From the opening instrumentals, to the out-of-context spoken word. The more lyrical offerings of "Wandering Alone" and "I don't want to play football" of course shouldn't be overlooked, but the trick with this album is that it is an album, not merely a collection of songs. Isobel's departure also should be mentioned perhaps. At first I certainly thought it was a bad thing, but if it gives Isobel more time for her solo projects, then I can see sense. The Gentle Waves sounded amazing when she was part of Belle and Sebastian, with more time, who knows what they can achieve. Anyway, I think I have stayed reasonably close to the guidlines suggested by ian's mirror, perhaps replies will happen, perhaps not. sinkingpie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
