is my brain across your walls? Joined: 14 February 2009 Posts: 115,112 User: 8,300	This is the first album I've listened to in full from him (didn't have super high expectations for it but was just curious to see if there'd be any hidden gems as I grew to really love 'Mulholland's Dinner And Wine') - I think the singles for the most part are the best songs from it, not super keen on 'Sympathy' but 'Nothing Works' is fab and 'Elevator Hum' good too (had not heard any of those before listening to the album). A lot of the album tracks have a bit of an unfinished demo quality to them, similar to what I thought about the new Tom Odell album. Still a couple of standout album tracks though, 'The Phantom Buzz (Kick In)' was my fave, a bit of a banger. 'Mezzanine' was good too. Kind of a shame there weren't really any other songs that gave me the same vibe as 'Mulholland's Dinner And Wine', the chorus of that really throws me back to late 00s MGMT/Animal Collective.
