I run into my friendly neighborhood record/headshop & grabbed C&C tonight & let it play thru twice. Wow!
This is definately his best solo work..... by far.
There's a few tracks that start out like the typical Macca song style that I usually don't like.... a little too sweet & fluffy, but every track quickly becomes something special.
I'll leave the clinical reviews for someone else, but for the first time... I'm really floored by a Macca record.
I like that wacky hidden track after Anyway. I'm thinkin' there's gotta be a clue in there if it's anywhere, but I couldn't detect anything. I guess I'll just have to get that hidden track & reverse it then!
That ol'Billy may have figured, that's exactly where everybody's gonna look first.... so lets put it elsewhere.
Maybe the cover is the only clue.............................

The timing of this album and the title remind me of the Wall Street/ right wing corporate phrase that became in vogue in the 1990s: "CREATIVE DESTRUCTION."
Sir Alan Greenspan kept repeating this chilling term so beloved by the American state/corporate/media elites "creative destruction" over and over in his congressional testimony and Q & A with congresspeople event recently.
Very creative "natural" (wink, wink) disasters recently with the flooding genocide of New Orleans, the earthquake in Pakistan and the Dec. 26, 2004 tsunami,
all of which just so coincidentally benefit U.S. oil companies and key strategic military interests.
It's also similar to their other "superman" favorite Nietzsche's famous saying of "out of chaos comes order."
Other than the fascist overtones, what does the title refer to in the album? Is it connected to any songs or themes?

hAS ANYONE PLAYED IT BACKWARDS YET? Well, I haven't played the whole cd backwards yet, but I did immediately flip the last hidden track. I couldn't find anything tho .... except for the fact that I like it better backwards. |

The only thing I can think of is the song Promise to You Girl where the first line is... "Looking thru the backyard of my life Time to sweep the fallen leaves away" (imo) the title is connected to the cover photo, the double sig on the cd, & the fact that they captured the essence of JPM for the first time on this cd. "They" bein' Billy & Nigel Godrich. |

IMO, it's possible that, knowing this is the first album since PID was resurrected and taken seriously, and that we had high expectations of clues being put into the album, that Billy deliberately planted false clues ie: implying that Paul was only replaced but is still alive as opposed to outright dead.

Also that they would go out of their way to make the voice sound more like JPM and the cover photo look more like JPM ---seems they have taken these measures.
