Well clearly it's their poppiest album. Plus a lot more electronic and doesn't have Deakin. Strawberry Jam, Feels and Sung Tongs all had their poppy tracks that could be on MPP, but that's not all AC do. I think MPP is a bit like a collection of their "hit" tracks, but doesn't really show what the band is capable of. Strawberry Jam on the other hand has poppy tracks, rock tracks you name it.

Again I love MPP, I just don't think it's their best album and for sure not the album that best represents what AC is about.

Well, yeah, the experimental and edginess was cut down a bit, but I personally don't think AC's songs sounded better anywhere else, except perhaps Strawberry, than they do on MPP. This album really has some of the band's best stuff.

I need to borrow some AC.
All this controversy, commentary and chit-chat has sparked an interest.

It does. It's my second favorite by them.

This made me laugh, and think a bit.

Then it was called the Suede Room, then it was called Room 9 then this one was Annexed and The Room was shut down... ah well, whatever

I remember reading that at one point when I was very bored and surfing the backlogs of the forum.


Anyways, off to beds people, see you

I've only gone back till Feels.
I have Sung Tongs too, but haven't listened to it yet.

From what I've read in the appreciation thread, the first albums aren't as good as the later works - in which case, my interest drops.
