Mystery to Me

[Sarah]

Ok. I've almost completed my goal. The only pre-Mac studio rekkits I don't have are Kiln House and Penguin. (On the list, going to get them, promise, I swear it.)

But, lemme say. Mystery to Me has gotta be my favorite. The songs just seem to have like, the perfect feel... they flow so well together, and I just think this album is beautiful.

The earlier records are kinda iffy, I think. Oh yes, definitely -- they're good. Really good. (Good enough for me to keep getting collections like, BBC, "early years" [or whatever its called] boxed set.. the yellow one, you know... yadda yadda)

Maybe it's my Rumours-Era favoritism coming out? What do you think? Does this rekkit just sound so good to me because I like that type of California feel.. or is it truly just a phenomenal record that didn't take off? ..b/c of Welch's departure, I guess.

I'd hate to think I don't like the record on its own merits, in sort of a "if I can't have SN/LB.. then I'll take this.." type situation.

Thoughts on the album? Striking or just so-so? Not so hot? Whut.
