Super Furry Animals - they *should* be good, (Hometown Unicorn almost really WAS!) only we realized a long, long time ago that it could never happen. There's nothing good to say about Wake Up Boo though. Their problem was actually being able to DO anything with what they heard - GS is just a third division indie album with some self-conscious noisy bits tacked on(weird, man, sort of like Revolution No.9!) and some club footed efforts at dub. I mean why don't people want fucking MORE than this - pop can be, SHOULD BE hilarious, frightening, awesome, breathtaking!!Īt least the poor old Boo Radleys had a cack-handed shot at trying to be interesting with 'Giant Steps'. No surprises from one album to the next, so it's a safe purchase - a bit of country and western here, a touch of power-pop there. I mean there's nothing surprising, jarring or challenging to worry about - just *nice* tunes with *the right* harmonies and *well-crafted* arrangements, all wrapped up in nice chumminess. I suppose I CAN see how people either *don't object* to TFC or *kind of like them* in a toe-tappingly familiar kind of way.
