Thoughts:
: My favourite TMBG album, full stop. Ingenius, witty, listenable and catchy as hell, and home to some of the greatest tracks ever penned by the Johns: The End of the Tour, Destination Moon and Subliminal. I also have no other album where the first six tracks are all 10/10s. A shame about the weak Stomp Box and O, Do Not Forsake Me, but the remaining tracks more than make up for them.
