Secretly the best indie band of the last 10 years. / 5
Doug Martsch had already been fooling around in Treepeople and the slightly legendary Halo Benders before 1994's instant classic 'There's nothing wrong with love' came out. This album had some great songs, riddled with melancholy and full of melody.
Succesor 'Perfect From Now On' had it's moment but was not near as good. And then this album came out and Doug was back.
'The Plan' blasts from the speakers and is the perfect opening song with a great simmering ending with at least one great sliding gutiar note. 'Centre of the Universe' is a fresher song followd by the rolling 'Carry the Zero', again with a great ending in which the song completely changes with breaks, new melodies and new sounds.
Martsch shows that besides writing a basic good song there is more you can add before the guitar solos get too boring and longwinded, something the previous album suffered from somehow.
Other favorites are 'Else' based on a simple but effective bass line and the brilliant 'You Were Right' (spot the songs).
Together with Lou Barlow, J Mascis, Frank Black and Evan Dando Doug Martsch is one of the heroes of late 90's, early 00's guitar orientated indie-style rock. Even though it's on Warner he still maintained that status. A legend in the making, like his hero Neil Young. A perfect album that after 8 years I can still listen to every day.
Song "The Plan"
The plan keeps comming up again
And the plan mean nothing stays the same
But the plan won't accomplish anything
If it's not implemented.
Like it's always been
And it makes me think of everyone
The cause of this is evident
But the remedy cannot be found
Cause it's so well hidden
This history lesson doesn't make any sense
In any less than ten thousand year increments of (common sense) (x5)
