Okkervil River - The Stage Hands

Zapsta [Edit] [Delete] 03:50, 22 July '07

Massively disappointing? I've listened to it a few times now; "Our Life Is Not a Movie or Maybe" has grown on me loads, and I can see the next couple of tracks doing likewise, but beyond that and up until the closing track, the whole things just so dull.

The odd ballad should be expected, but with the exceptions of the aforementioned tracks, there's no variety at all, while "Savannah Smiles" is possibly the most cringe worthy song ever produced by a band I class as one of my favourites.

Obviously Black Sheep Boy was a lot to live up to, but this doesn't even come close.
