this is such a strange album. the title track is beautiful and sad. lampshades and shit in yr cut bore me. pistol is weird and cool, god is an indian and you're an asshole is a sweet callback/sequel to wild pack of family dogs. i think the biggest thing holding MM back these days is that Isaac Brock has nothing left to say.

i've turned around on "lampshades on fire" - or maybe the other tracks i've heard bored me enough that it's now a welcome imitation of themselves in pop mode

Haha I caught "Lampshades on Fire" on the radio last night and I spent about 30 seconds thinking, "why are they playing an old single when they have a new one out?". Took me that long to realize it WAS the new single.

Shit in your cunt o_O

Of Course We Know is really good imo, perfect high school weltschmerz vibe

wiki lists it as "Shit in Your Cut", fwiw

I really like "The Ground Walks, with Time in a Box", I'm cautiously optimistic about the whole record.
