on listening to the first half of the album, i was thinking 'brilliant; this is going right up there...' and then the wheels just seem to fall off. 'ring road'?!? c'mon - the 'describe a dreary southern highstreet' things been done to death (and done better) over the past few years - it's just a sub-the streets that i cannot believe made it onto an uw release. they should've given it to lilly allen.

a real shame; because the first half is pretty sublime stuff, knitting and building so much emotion and warmth into the rythms - but then it just seems to lose interest in itself and venture off into noodling (like 90% of ahdo) - it's like the tracks aren't finished, but got lost...

so no - not the best yet; but happily on the upswing after 'days' - stop getting bollocksed rog
