I mean, serious kudos to you for liking her nondescript album; you were much happier during that period when she was inescapable on pop radio than I was! Congrats, you win good times and all I get is impotent frustration that everyone and their mom is going bananas for something I find offensively boring performed by someone with the singing talent of a bottle of Toulet Duck! You're coming out on top here, not me; pointing out that the emperor is naked doesn't save you from seeing his backfat.

I'm assuming that Stars of the Lid didn't make it, and that sorta bums me out because I thought half of ILM were total SOTL-stans. Also, imo Caribou's Milk of Human Kindness is waaaay better than Andorra, but that's just me. Ditto Of Montreal's Sunlandic Twins vs Hissing Fauna

I still maintain that Human After All is one of the '00s best albums and an absolute monstrous beast of insanely great tracks. It's their best album. Homework is the blueprint; Discovery is the fun side project; Human After All is the masterpiece.

I feel out of ILM because I excitedly went and listened to these Roisin Murphy tracks and, I dunno, expected more. "Let Me Know" sounded good but I found myself wanting to listen to old Black Box records instead. And "Overpowered" I thought was corny (e.g. when she sings "BRAIN" followed by echoing "brain..... brain....") and I was distracted by the costume from "One Night In Bangkok" she wore for the video. I mean, I know I am wrong! I'm just feeling bad about the fact that I don't know how to do the hard work necessary to listen to these songs and hear what they're doing.
