Not Hoover's best

"I love Hooverphonic but this is their weakest effort to date. It still has some great songs on it, but it doesn't measure up to any of their other releases. It is a concept album and holds together well from that perspective, but the songs are just not as solid as previous offerings. Try their latest release "President Of The LSD Club" for a solid, great recording by this special and unique band. "Blue Wonder Power Milk" and "A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular" are also better places to start a sampling of Hooverphonic. However, if you like their sound on this album you will not be dissapointed by No More Sweet Music/More Sweet Music. Highlights on this album include:
One
Nirvana Blue
The World Is Mine
Sad Song
The rest of the album is an acquired taste and serves more to prop up the concept than to entertain. My personal rankings of all Hooverphonic albums are as follows:
Blue Wonder Power Milk
No More Sweet Music/More Sweet Music
A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular
President Of The LSD Golf Club
The Magnificent Tree
Sit Down And Listen To Hooverphonic
Hooverphonic Presents Jackie Cane"
