only thing i disagree with is this statement: "And when it isn't the two-steppy 'Gee strings'and the spectaculary aimless wind-chime nonsense of 'Kompania'" I don't know how the dude can say either of those tracks are worthwhile either. The whole album is rubbish. And the fact that they released 3 different versions is even more rubbish. I'll be obtaining the mp3's illegally for this one. or three i should say. c __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!
