I wasn't too impressed with the new album after first few listens. I've
listened to One Mississippi and Lapalco a bajillion times, so I am
guessing it just needs some time. I had the same indifference towards
Lapalco at first because I had fairly high expectations (after waiting 5
years!). However, 'Spit It Out' and 'What I'm Looking For' are
undoubtedly ace tunes. Hopefully Alternative To Love gets better with age.
