There are definitely a few real gems on this album ('California Dreamer' and 'Kissing The Beehive') that can stand up to the best stuff off Apologies, but I still think some of the stuff in between is not up to par with the debut or the new album. <br /><br />I will admit I probably didn't give it enough listens when it first came out so I'll spin it a few more times over the next week or so to see if it grows on me.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00984832754508877918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157503008323740264.post-5462097119046121772010-06-29T19:13:44.700-05:002010-06-29T19:13:44.700-05:00Really excited for this album.

But here, I have to disagree whole-heartedly about your feelings on Wolf Parade's sophmore album 'At Mount Zoomer'. While it definetly lacks the immediate hooks of their debut 'Apologies to the Queen Mary', I believe 'Zoomer' songs are more cohesive between Krug & Boeckner. It's one of those more of a "grower" than a "shower". After many listens, I just have to say it's a more dominant album.Poindexternoreply@blogger.com
