Default Re: that somewhat new belle and sebastian matador b-sides comp

I dunno about their newer stuff, but Tigermilk, If your feeling sinister and BWTAS are three amazing albums. I have Dear Catastrophe Waitress but only listened to it a couple times through. I've yet to hear the newest three albums, but now that I am reminded i'll have to pick them up.

I'm not sure why you feel they should have a huge range musically. Do you feel the same way about Radiohead or Dave Matthews? Tigermilk for one is a very diverse album. The first three songs are brilliant and it finshes with great tracks like My wanderting days are over and I don't love anyone. I could apply your critisism of B&S to any number of bands. If you are referring to the last three albums specifically, then I can't comment because i've only heard a few of the songs.

I really like them, but I have several friends whose music taste I respect that think the same as you. I suspect you really have to enjoy the nuances of Stuart Murdoch's voice and the English point of view to get the most out of it.

Tuco.
