The Shred Room II (with extra youth)

You said they try too hard. Yet I'm pretty sure they're not trying at all.  I think many of them were drunk or stoned.

How do you know that?

James wrote: You have heard Comus' second, Alex? It features a certain member of Henry Cow. So no, not everything members of HC do is fantastic.

I haven't heard the 2nd... because I've been afraid to.

I plan on listening to both albums this weekend though.

Perhaps. But I'd like to know why it isn't to my taste. Because it's brilliant. Actually, maybe you don't like the subject matter and/or John Milton?  Perhaps it's the vocal style. It is full of depth.  It Drip Drip's full of depth actually. Plus there is no other album like it.  Not even Jan Dukes De Grey. I just think they're trying too hard without never really getting anywhere which resembles "brilliant". A little like VdGG . But yes, as usual it boils down to taste. I'm sorry Alex, didn't mean to be confrontational. I just interpreted your answer as if they had something specific I just couldn't get into, which spurred my interest. It's quite the contrary actually, since I feel they lack something that would make get into it. A typical 3 star album

Oh, no, I didn't take it as confrontational. It's fine.

Stockholm pwns. I love Shisspa, but it doesn't match the level of awesomeness that any member of Henry Cow ever touched.

Of course he will. He has amazing powers.

Fail.

Maybe.
Maybe not.

It's all subjective.

Angherr Shisspa is in my top 3 albums of the millenium, though.

Stockholm & Goteborg is fantastic though but it's archival material.
