Electric Circus - Oh my!

Ooh, I got two new CDs yesterday - Electric Circus by Common and Phrenology by the Roots. Listening to Common now...

I'm not 100% sure, but on first listen I think it is fucking brilliant. Not what I expected at all. It's a harder listen than LW4C I reckon, it'll take some time to grow on me, but still - WOW.

the album's been called everything from "absolute shite" to "a classic"; after a couple of spins i've come to like it, but not love it.. though i gotta say 'jimi was a rock star' is cool!
don't need no reefer, don't need cocaine
purple music does the same to my brain
i'm high, so high

Yeah, I quite like it when an album receives such a mixed bunch of responses... it means there's probably something interesting in there worth hearing!

I guess anyone who expected it to be like "Like Water for Chocolate" or "Someday it'll all make sense" might be disappointed. There's no real radio-friendly hits on the album either which might put certain listeners off. I'm loving it though.

That thread was about the impending release of the album. This is about first impressions on listening to the album.

I'm sorry. I thought the title of this thread was "Electric Penis." My bad.
