The complete lack of melody and the yelps and howls annoyed the merda out my extremidade traseira the first 15 + times I tried to like TDPBSP.

But now, I'm looking at it as Bruce Springsteen's post-throat-surgery little brother's attempts at Frank Black and it's much better.

Because that album rocks.

I've always liked tracks like "A Wooden Horse," but some of the others were just off-key blattering nothings for the longest time. I appear to have finally adjusted to the CD.

maybe you hit your head and lost the ability to reason.
I can't listen to that cd without thinking david bowie is the lead singer

Bowie-isms, but no actually Bowie. His tone and pitch control difficulties preclude being an actual Bowie. More like Frank Bowie & The Catholic Spiders From The Andy Partridge Family Next Door To Asbury Park.

But I'm finding I really like The second half of the CD quite a a lot.

Not sure I ever really warmed to the album either, but I did like it somewhat. One of those things where I can generally find something else much higher on my "to buy" list.

It scares how some albums just take a really long time to do anything for you. Makes me wonder about all that stuff I've just written off over the years.

i loved it from the get go and even placed it in my top 100 albums of all time listmania.

I think you're just realizing that you were wrong from the beginning and that it truly is a superior album.

<=== still hates it.

you finally came around to this huh? i remember you saying some strong words against this when i posted them in the 'Ascending Bands' thread. I always liked the vocals though.

Devolution - Noun
