I had mixed feelings about GMIOGMD when it was released. I didn't like how self-referential it was, the reintroduction of Ralph Spoilsport being a great example. The album eventually grew on me, but it lacks the timeless charm of their 70s efforts.
- fenomas 5y agoThere is some self-reference, but I suppose I always saw that as fan service. Later in their careers FT did a lot of live shows, where die-hard audiences would call-and-response the famous lines, so to me the presence of self-referential gags always felt like a big part of the FT experience. But to each his own - quid malmborg in plano as they say.
