when i first heard the album, on crappy Apple earphones, i couldn't really hear the bass all too well which was awful.
i should've just turned it off right then and there.
but 15 Step sounded so great nevertheless. the bass near the end reminded me of Where I End and You Begin,
and then Bodysnatchers came on and put a smile on my face.
Nude is absolutely gorgeous,
the "on again, off again" bit of Faust Arp reminded me "flan in the face" in The Wolf at the Door,
All I Need is beautifully haunting, etc etc.
but after i listened to the album through the first time, after Arpeggi or so,
i was getting restless at the lack, in my first listen view, of instant 'catchiness', especially in the softer songs.
i'm listening to it now with better earphones
and it is immediately having a much better effect on the way i'm perceiving the album.
i need to listen to it some more.
overall, it's not a bad album, far from it, but not amazingly great either.
