So it goes.

I thought his last one was gonna be more like that than it wasn't.

i have been reappreciating dude's whole oeuvre lately, after being too cool or too distracted to spend much time with each album for a while. and, although each album definitely has its own great (or genius)-to-skippable ratio, it's been satisfying. for instance, i don't love it start-to-finish, but the information turned out to be a total grower the second time around. i have to agree with iantenna that parts of odelay sound kind of hokey nowadays, but it's still really inventive and wicked fun.

Since then, none of his albums have been entirely bad nor overwhelmingly good. I guess "pleasant" would be an appropriate term.

"Chemtrails" sounds promising, though.
