You keep playing the 'richly textured' card, Layner. One of the
things that gives TB the edge over OKC for me is the rawer sound. The
vocals seem a little more forward in the mix, and I love the wall of
guitar like in the beginning of 'Planet Telex', and the slightly
tweaked acoustic that is spattered throughout the rest of the album.
But let's face it. Neither album is as good as my current selection.
_Selling England By The Pound_ has to be one of the top ten albums of
all time. AND it's referenced in a Monk tune. ;-)
