Those are constructive sugestions. No need to stop there. There are the leaden drums, the clumsy transitions. Hey, let's just pull the plug altogether! (Actually, the guitar isn't that bad...let's call it a "5!")

This is not very good. In fact, it's downright bad. BORING.

What a unique band; frankly I'd be a little creeped out if I woke up one day and everyone in the world suddenly loved Grandaddy. Fascinating song, very lovely.
yes... i agree!!!!

I agree with you. And on ELO, you make a nice fine point. They did have some excellent moments - most of them were not the songs that became the "hits". I am thinking of their first couple of albums especially. Side One of ELDORADO is still a fave. From their latter period, "Mr. Blue Sky" is getting play again - and sounding good. It was not that successful in its time though, marking the beginning of the end of their commercial success. "Diary of Horace Wimp" was also a mid-charter, but a pretty good song.

Anyway, this Grandaddy really sounds good. I'm am interested in hearing more from them.

The constant oscillating is profoundly annoying.

Irritating production kills what is a pretty decent tune

Nice idea to use the sound of a skipping cd. After sampling vinyl cracks, it's a logical next step.
