I'm going to have to admit that I agree with the article's view of STITI when I first heard the album. As a teenager, all I wanted from the album was more of the "cool" sound of Pearl's Girl. I really hated STITI.
But it grew on me. I listened to the album more and more, and now it has become one of my favorite albums of all time. It simply is one of those albums that isn't "heard" and understood right off the bat. It grew on me and I started hearing more out of the album's tracks that I did at first. It reminds me of jazz, because at first listen (at least to me) the average person doesn't really "feel" and understand jazz (I was the same way). The more I listen to it, the more I "feel" it and understand it's complexities. STITI is in my opinion a very "deep" album. My biggest example being Sappy's Curry (and Banstyle too).
and I'll stop using "quotes" now
