Mark said this, and it was as if he was reading the thoughts in my brain: <<I don't actually believe FISHYCLAP to be an inferior album at all. I think it's all to do with the ordering of the tracks. My favourites are at the beginning (I Fought in a War and the Model) and the end (There's Too Much Love). ON TWATTYBUS however the gems are very much interspersed with the weaker songs. Incidentally, I wasn't too keen on Simple Things when it first came out, for some reason and now I absolutely adore it!>> Yeah, I totally agree with all of that. I don't think that FISHYCLAP is an amazing album by any stretch of the imagination, but I do think that TWATTYBUS is generally a bit overrated. In fact, I seem to remember saying this ages ago, and making a rash prediction about their new album being a work of eclectic genius. Hmm, let's see: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200108/msg00236.html I think people should start sending in reviews of the new album. Go on, it's not long till it's released.. Here's to Stephen Pastel for the new Dr Who.. Rx _________________________________________________________________ Tired of 56k?
