There were few more disappointing albums for me last year than Mercury
Rev's excruciating progfest - I remember the sheer boyish joys of
Yerself Is Steam.  This year, it's the turn of the Delgados to churn
out some over-produced rubbish.  Apparently they were getting sick of
being described as "lo-fi".  Not going to happen now, is it?  That
Dave Friedman has an uncanny knack of making everyone sound like
Supertramp.  Have the male members of the Delgados grown beards?  I
bet they have.
