Clearly I’ve been watching too much of The O.C. as I’m starting to like the music too much. I’ve also been too harsh in forming opinions, indeed I was previously rather derisive of anyone who claimed to like bands such as Modest Mouse, I mean there’s nothing accomplished about them (this opinion is typified by unexciting tracks like Black Cadillac). It may be true that the power of association is at play here,, but they have put out some funky riffs on this album (I’m lovin’ Float On) that I rather enjoy at the moment in place of my usual fare. Maybe it’s a phase.
