Title: am i too old?
Review: somehow i can't avoid making comparisons to the last franz ferdinand and brian wilson albums. it's weird what industry gets hyped regardless of whether it's old burnt-out dinosaurs or young fresh ones.i like this enough to hope the earlier works are better, as people seem to suggest.there are some moments here...especially towards the second half that do start to creep in but not nearly enough to suggest permanent "genius" status. my favorite songs were two nations (the least personal track)and never went to church (the most-personal track). for the most part this (like most of today's rap) makes me simply miss the old likes of x-clan, poor righteous teachers....public enemy...and even good old eminem.mcc>
