Backstage With Slowdive

I really like it. Might end up thinking it's their best album.

Toad in the Hole

I must give it another spin then.  I was a bit underwhelmed when I listened to it initially, no big stand-out tracks like 'Sing Me Spanish Techno', 'Use It', or some of the AC Newman solo stuff.  It is a consistent album, I suppose, which may count in its favour when I go back to it later.  Queueing in Winamp as we speak...

Muggins

I'm enjoying it but... I'm not loving it initially as much as Mass Romantic or Twin Cinema.  But I've had this with other albums where I wasn't in raptures over when I first heard it- but it's gone on to become one of my favourite albums- e.g. Andrew Bird's 'Armchair Apocrypha' and that Beirut album.  Could be blinding, will give it time.
