only have to say that i really don’t dig the Accidental Architecture & Enewetak experiments…
and an old desease of Posies records is unfortunately back: the record is too clean, too polished… the live versions are that much better! and that’s ok, but the record versions are really too sophisticated… a little more distortion and unpolished sound would do them good…
nevermind, it’s just an opinion, but one that has many fans. because what i’m writing here had at least 5 serious likewise thoughts in Antwerp last thursday, and all those i made fan in this area agree on that.

Jons songs are a lot closer to older Posies staple.. Kens tunes are a bit more expansive and progressive, as he has matured musically since his original departure from the band years ago.. Not to say that Jon’s tunes are anything less than stellar.. He just has a stamp that he puts on his arrangements that clearly make them his! His sound is closer to what made the Posies the band that they are..

This album is a bit of a departure from older Posies albums.. They have spread out and added more depth to their songs.. You cant play the same things over and over.. I will always love Amazing Disgrace as my favorite Posies album to date.

Give Blood/Candy a little time to grow on you… Sit back, relax, turn the lights down low and let your mind go with all the layers in this well conceived collection.. You wont be disappointed.. Just dont expect the band to remain in the 90’s..

It’s time to move on. Face it, you’re going to have to learn to keep up with The Posies.

I appreciate their progression as a band but more than anything, want that distorted, rocking side of The Posies! Hope to hear this album with some 90’s fuzz when they visit Denver in December.
