Elsewhere I mentioned how I'm sorta embarrassed for having missed the whole millennium without discovering Ringo -- but having said that, I'm still glad I didn't hear MM in '99, as I probably wouldn't have batted ..er, an earlobe I guess, for such a "nice but basic" kind of an ordinary indie/college rock album.
A touch of early Radiohead, another touch of Alanis, another of Smashing Pumpkins, with only a smidgeon of something idiosyncratic... Nothing that SS didn't do even better and with better songs (while adding whole 'nother spheres to boot).
I'm so glad Ringo herself seems such an old soul she grew past this phase and started dazzling us with crazy un-rock stuff like KYNK and TNIK.
