Tago Mago
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
|
"Coming out with standard pre-Pavement material up until "Aumgn", with nice rants courtesy of then lead singer Kenji Damo Suzuki and neatly syncopated beats that would even have Beyoncé go "woo" Can susbsequently indulge into the unavoidable "bruitiste" wank till the gentler trance of "Bring me Coffee or Tea Please" puts an end to the pain. Erm...let's say it's a taste to be asserted but never understood neither explained. This LP will win early adopters a seat in the supercilious community of curled lips while those too honest to fake complete adoration will retain the Tago out of the Mago."-- Tigersushi |
