This is Malkmus' most innovative album yet.It picks you up and takes you for a ride from the very beginning of the opening track 'Pencil Riot', which has a mix of guitar and keyboards I have never heard from Malkmus before.It gets the album off to a great start.Then comes 'It Kills' which fuckin' rocks hard, better than live versions I've heard.With 'I've Hardly Been' comes another new style from Stephen, with guitars galore and vocals which also serve as another of Malkmus' instruments he handles with grace and godliness.'Freeze The Saints' showcases Malks lyrical talents and his beautiful vocals in hushed tones.'Loud Cloud Crowd' is another solid track, with a mix of jangly guitars and moonlight melodies.'No More Shoes' is the guitar jam that Mr.Malkmus has been trying to perfect for years, and he has accomplished the task here.It's an 8 minute masterpiece.'Mama' was a nice surprise as well, as I have heard live versions, and this version far succeeds those.'Post Paint Boy', known to some as Maker Of Modern, is another gem which Stephen has polished up, look for this to be one of the first singles.'Baby Come On' is the other song that could be the first single released, with Stephen rockin out.He ends the album with a 3 minute ditty called'Malediction'.It's a beautiful song, and much different than the epic 1% Of One ending we had on Pig Lib.
Overall, I give this cd a solid A.

what song is freeze the saints?

you make me weep. the end of may is so far away.

charky · 2005-03-15 12:59:36

did you put it on soulseek ??

if not

PLEASE do...

ahno · 2005-03-15 13:14:55

That track list doesn't even come close to what matador released. Pig Lib ended with "Us".

Clarence Skiboots · 2005-03-15 13:16:25

Carl The Clod didn't make the album, hopefully it will be a b-side.Freeze The Saints is a new tune, with strong, sweet vocals by Stephen.
Freeze The Saints has great lyrics, it starts off:
So we meet again, riding our divisable bodies...(lovely stuff)

I'll post more lyrics later
sorry, no soulseek here

ahno · 2005-03-15 13:25:05

ahhh, maybe that's invisible bodies.

It Kills:
Whatcha gonna do, I don't know my friend
but I'm open to suggestion if you'll profit two cents.
Give me something I can hang a coat on ya...
9 times out of 10 I'm not the guidance type
I've been sitting on a fence post for the brunt of my life
but now I need some help to find out how I feel
It Kills
You'll see there's more to you than what you think of me

Where You gonna go
I don't know my friend, but I will take this road for ever or until it does end
Here or there or someplace man, anywhere
maybe to the west where they don't fall down
in the canyon of a valley in a twenty horse town
a voluntary rest-home where they lecture you
It Kills
you'll see there more to you than what you think of me
we can share our bland opinions
about the quality of air
and all will be right, right on top

i know who clarence is!

An honest guess · 2005-03-15 13:31:14

Who who??!!

How come you've heard all this Clarence? Reveal your sources!

mortimer · 2005-03-15 13:31:55

who, jenny, who?!!?!

when's it out in limeyland?

Jenny · 2005-03-15 13:35:14

i can't say--he'll kill me--he said so.

6 feet under · 2005-03-15 13:35:52

If you are a big enough Pavement fan you would know who Clarence is.
ps jenny: I thought that trist with you and clarence was private?

Fritz Powerball II · 2005-03-15 13:40:05

Clarence Skiboots was S.M.'s pseudonym for producing his 1st solo outing. I doubt this is S.M. himself though. Tell me if I'm wrong Jenny Penny...

plop · 2005-03-15 13:52:44

Check out his previous posts (there's just a few). Curiouser and curiouser.

just speculation and conjecture - with myself; it could be SM -

perhaps a little mistake to mask one's true identity?

Clarence Skiboots · 2005-03-15 15:14:57

I am not S.M.
Jenny isn't lying
she's a pretty little ditty
and I've been in her city

Jenny is Jenny
Clarence is flying
he's a sunny funny bunny
and he's got lots of money

So, Mr Skiboots, or Clarence if you don't mind, how are you so privy to the new rekkord by our singer?

Rotten Pencil · 2005-03-15 15:53:01

Hmmm. Who amongst us works at a ski resort? Maybe that is the key...

THIS IS A SIN!

now, i can't campaign for having this song on the EP which i also need to campaign for at the matador site b/c i registered a name, having forgot my previous one, and it only lets me log in, not post.

i feel so helpless in this time of urgent despair.

mad mad mad man · 2005-03-15 17:18:23

I am confused. the trax referenced by c. skiboots do not correspond with "official" track listings.......can ya give a brotha an xplanation?
