Burning Airlines Thunderdome - Mission: Control v. Identikit
1
Two Burning Airlines albums, both alike in dignity.
Despite me being big into Jawbox (the SF date of their reunion tour is one of the best shows I've seen) it took me a little longer to get into Burning Airlines. It finally clicked a couple months ago on a long drive back from my hometown; I wonder if me getting into XTC had anything to do with it.
Right now, I think Mission: Control slightly edges out Identikit. If I listen to Identikit in isolation, it kicks ass, but in context of M:C that album just sounds more consistent throughout (despite me thinking Identikit has a better initial salvo of songs).
(Also, am I the only one who noticed how much the vocal melody to "Outside the Aviary" resembles the melody to the fuckin' Bluey theme song?)
