Christgau's spot-on, as usual. I don't get complaints that Oceans Apart is inferior to BYBO and Rachel Worth. |

Christgau's pretentious writing usually annoys/infuriates me, but he has written some very nice stuff about the GoBs. Typically, I had to read his 'OA' review twice to really understand it, but once I did, I agree that he's spot-on. For anyone who hasn't explored his writing on the group, check this out too: http://www.robertchristgau.com/xg/rock/gobetwee-00.php |
