Fully agree! Day 300 is my favorite - I'm a sucker for Latin guitar - and Space Farm is groovy but 10 Guitars really breaks the mood, snaps the groove, etc. �Wonderfully cheezy, but seems more in place with the old "Sex and the Swinging Stewardess" mixtapes my flight attendant friend used to make out of old 60s music of that sort.

Ten Guitars to me just seems totally out of place on this album.� Might have been better done as a one-off internet download or something instead.� Just doesn�t fit.

I had thought we might get a recording of the old Oils instrumental �Eye Contact� on the album, as they played it regularly on the last tour (under the name Supertube) but we didn�t.

I've come to enjoy most tracks,� but I just can't reconcile with the pointless noise of Tumbling for Eons. Maybe if it were a 90 second track, but it just goes on and on...

And yeah, I still don't think much of 10 Guitars. Inane lyrics and not much for the band to do.

The rest is pretty good. Space Farm,� Things Are Loud Here,� Rotor,� Day 300, Sky I Use You Like a Mirror....all have great moments.� I'd like it to have more rock-out moments, but that's just me.�

Hi folks
After two weeks of listening to the album many times a day, now I can say that I enjoy almost the half of it, specially Rotor, Majestic Kelp, Sky I Use You Like a Mirror, Day 300 and Whatever Dumb Courage.
I'm afraid I'll forget the rest of the album including Ten Guitars

What do you reckon�guys?
