Dark Days / Light Years is growing on me.
i still maintain that "Mt." is the worst thing they've ever done and it doesn't really hold entirely well together as an album, but i'm feeling a lot better about it than i did after the bullshit webcast thing they did.
You?
I would say
That a lot of people are finding this their hardest record to get into to. After Hey Venus! which was a relatively straightforward listen, DD/LY seems like such a departure for them. I personally think that Hey Venus! was made entirely without the influence of any sort of drug and that DD/LY was made under the influence. Then again I'm one of those people who doesn't believe SFA has made a bad record (or song).
It certainly sounds
like it was knocked out in the studio, but it's a grower.
Wouldn't mind Gruff taking control again though and principly writing all the tunes again.
