I think I understand where Scott comes from, as the first half of the album is really strong, but the second half still really carries well. I think that the most memorable tracks are perhaps more concentrated in the first half, although I stand by what I said about Derek, and you’re right, Cuckoo is also a brilliant track.

Now, for the killer question: best album of the three: Panda Bear’s Person Pitch, Avey Tare’s Pullhair Rubeye or AC’s Strawberry Jam?

What’s this business about the record tailing off at the end? “Cuckoo Cuckoo” is the best song here.

I was in a pub somewhere in East London last week, and the DJ played For Reverend Green - it sounded great. You should have been there.

Reading what The Wire had to say about this album got me a bit nervous about it. Then I heard the album and realised that, whoever had written the review probably still had to hear the album.

I agree that the album tails off a bit at the end, although I really love Derek. For Reverend Green is possibly my favourite AC track with Grass.

Nice review. I think I’d give the first 5 tracks exactly 6.7 out of 5. Tails away towards the end though, don’t you think?
