Sinister: everyone suffers in silence or bedlam

[Rickbozard at xxx.com]

    Now look here you winy twee bastards, the verdict is in and upon repeated 
listen the new album stands up just fine. There simply is no "best" b+s 
album. They are the rare band whose entire catalouge lives up to their 
reputation. To be frank, every belle and sebastian album is rather boring 
upon first listen. They are exceedingly subtle, and the quality of their work 
doesn't become apparent until multiple listens. The non stuart murdoch 
members are finally writing good songs and, while we'd all like more murdoch 
numbers, it's a fine, and fairly successful, stab at democracy. I understand 
that b+s fans tend to be the moody,meloncholy sort who are eternally 
nostalgic for their treasured albums of the past, but let's face it, as soon 
as another album comes out it will get the fyhcywlap treatment and this album 
willl be bumped into the cannon of b+s classics. I suspect that this arab 
strap is moving up in status as I speak. Go eat your tea and crumpets you 
whiny brats, and enjoy the new album.
