I'm about three songs in and not too impressed so far. The mix is none too pleasant - the treble is killing my ears.

I'm not hating this record, nor is it changing my life.

I also side with the folks who can't help but make Elliot Smith comparisons. If I didn't know any better I'd think someone remixed some Elliot Smith songs by just dropping some extra reverb and digital fuckery in there.

it's all treble.

i like it.

I'm over this album already. It's a blip in my longstanding love affair with the grinning Louisville minstrel. I shall just have to sit and wait for the Dead Child to appear.

i really want james to be in the reformed pumpkins but there is a chance he won’t do it. if that’s the case then my fingers are crossed it will be david pajo. that way it could be a sort of pumpkins/zwan reformation. the best of both worlds!

It's not my favorite of his recorded works, but I still love it. According to his website and forum, he wants to have another ep of new stuff (more "properly" prepared than 'Pajo') out by the end of the year, and then will tour next year. The Dead Child EP is supposed to be out this fall? Can anyone confirm that?

A)This will never happen. I think the fact that everytime the name "Zwan" is brought up to your boy, he pisses and moans about how disfunctional his Zwanmates were (an obvious excuse for why the record and tour bombed) is proof of that. Well, and the fact that DP made that mistake once already.
B)If it did, I...I...I'd, I don't even know what I'd do, but it would be ugly.

time heals all wounds though. and it’s obvious that pajo is looking to make a buck any way he can. i don’t think it’s that far fetched. hell, they’re both asian!
