I listened to it plenty. I've had it for a month. If you know my blog you know how I hate writing bad reviews so believe me I wouldn't have written it this way if I didn't mean it truly.Steven Ray Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00202126641081666863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988993601141312928.post-55144144981950164392008-11-07T16:22:00.000-08:002008-11-07T16:22:00.000-08:00Well, it's your blog, and you've got a right to yo...Well, it's your blog, and you've got a right to your dubious opinion, but I've got to chime in...<BR/><BR/>You refer to "Monkey Goes To Breakfast" as "almost unbearable." What the hell are you talking about? <BR/><BR/>This is my favortie tune on the EP. Adam doesn't sound sleepy, rather, he's singing in a very measured way, being gentle with the characters in the song as they tiptoe around each other, and try to find their bearings.<BR/><BR/>Also, it has a great keyboard sound, surprisingly warm for what may just be a Casio, and reminiscent of the organ on the Velvet Underground's "Ride Into The Sun." <BR/><BR/>It's a touching tune, engaging in its mystery, with just the right hint of melancholy thrown in.<BR/><BR/>You mention that it took some time before you began to enjoy "Stain On My Shirt." It's a shame you didn't wait to write a review until you'd given the release more time overall.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
