Title: Do I not get it?
Review: This Mogwai -- all of whose albums I somehow ended up with -- are pretty boring. A weaker Sigur Ros, and nowhere near as strong as GYBE!. Maybe it's the constant guitar wash many people worship. The strings are welcome here for variety. You get the idea that any melody is from luck, otherwise it's just noodling. And emotion? Yeah, maybe the same one, really more a celebration of a muddy state of mind. If their thing is to build, then build! The thing I find most enjoyable about this band are the song names. However, they did make one work that does build well, and shines above the rest (besides a track or two here & there): the EP "My Father My King." That one's a keeper.NEW (May 2006): I do get it a bit more nowadays. A good listen overall.UPDATE (much needed): I get it, I get it now...! I play this a lot. Along with ROCK ACTION.
Is the review positive or negative?
