 Am I missing something, why do so many people love this band, I am finding it pretty boring.

and of the six records they have released i would rank it the lowest...
 
 1. twice removed - brilliant a desert island disc
 2. navy blues - chocked full of singles
 3. between the bridges - a canadian rock opera
 4. smeared - the "next" nirvana
 5. one chord to another - a sloppy lets try it again as a band effort
 6. pretty together - the first couple tracks are full spot the influence songs, but its pretty forgottenable by the end.

lets see right now I am listening to the verve:  urban hymns. Its even better than I remember.
 
 yesterday I bought and listened to:
 
 Pop will eat itself:   box frenzy
 
 Morcheeba         :    big calm
 
 Nick Lowe          :    the convincer
 
 
 I bought and didnt listen to
 
 At the drive in    :    Vaya
 
 The Fall              :    Totales Turns
                           :    2G+G            
 
 
 Plus I listened to the two decemberists albums and Beulah: Yoko. I really prefer when your heartstrings break to the other two Beulah albums I have listened to.

 I pick up on every fad quite late.  I'd be hip, but I'm much too straight.

 Kosmo, have you gotten the new album?  I haven't yet; wondering how it ranks if you've heard it.

Sounds like Air's Moon Safari, but not as good...

I wish Lovely Light was on this one... or at least a remix to make things interesting. But it's on "Another Mellow Spring".
