I actually really liked the first couple of tracks - maybe I just enjoy heavy-handed production (except when it's by Animal Collective...)!John Selfhttp://theasylum.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534509012046591314.post-49023527021320037452010-06-18T09:57:50.249+01:002010-06-18T09:57:50.249+01:00Mmmmm.

Jim has sat on the shelf (along with many others) but a quick listen to compare with this new one reminded me that it's a far simpler and more personal album. Compass is much more diverse and performed and how much you like it may depend on how much you like Prince or Beck. It's pretty eclectic so I reckon most people are going to have tracks they love and tracks they really don't.William Rycrofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15056188088340973039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534509012046591314.post-13835469178705974522010-06-18T08:23:58.696+01:002010-06-18T08:23:58.696+01:00How does it compare to Jim, Will?

I will probably buy <em>Compass</em> now anyway, but just wondered if it had more longevity than his last. (Then again, I might put on <em>Jim</em> later today and be amazed by how much I love it...)John Selfhttp://theasylum.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534509012046591314.post-19634018067228438242010-06-17T16:17:28.363+01:002010-06-17T16:17:28.363+01:00I had to get rid of 'She Needs Me' almost ...I had to get rid of 'She Needs Me' almost immediately because it was nauseating but the rest of the album is like Prince and Beck at their best, I agree.
