No dub anymore, and less jazz. But it's their best album by a long shot. It has been accused of going in a slightly "world beat" direction, but that's just typical rock journalist nattering. Several tracks have very weird and cool vocals, even a trippy slow female-vocal'd song that is just a little bit R&B. Good stuff.

Have you heard Mike Oldfield? His album Tubular Bells is rather amazing. I'm not sure why discussion of Him made me think of it.

Thank you for those items that you sent me/ The monkey and the plywood violin

Eazy-E can eat a big fat dick

Mushroom head, oh yeah, paperhouse, I went day, first the game

In the cold sober light, she's not nearly so pretty/ But if I drink more gin, her grace might return

She said, Daddy's gone to Richmond, that's all you need to know/ I said, I wanna know why Carla's got that blood on her clothes

Bonus:

Back in Sherman, wearing a bulky brace, he drank heavily. He arranged to meet Matta in Central Park and tried pathetically to beat up the younger man. He endeavored to control his anger with Mougouch, but one night he got drunk and went on a rampage. He pushed her down a flight of stairs, then tried to reassure his daughters, telling them, "My little darlings, you must realize I'm an artist and artists sometimes have to act a bit crazy. That's why I'm like this now. Do you understand?" The next day, July 16th, Mougouch fled with the girls to Virginia. Five days later, Gorky was dead.

That New Pornographers is pretty damn catchy, innit? I had no idea Neko Case was in the band before I bought it.
