#1325 Super Furry Animals - Phantom Power

Speaking of SFA: never did give this album a fair shake despite loving their first 4 or so.

I just got done talking about how I see the late-Beach Boys resemblance, and that's even more true here: this is all vague washes of vocal harmony and reverb and just-left-of-center chords, but other than Golden Retriever, there's barely a note on this that rocks and about zero that will stick with you. It's pretty, but it's watercolor, no edges, no particular nerve, sure to disappoint anyone who fell in love with their splintering creativity circa Radiator / Guerrilla 2.5/5
