Thurston Moore "Demolished Thoughts"

I may need "Benediction" to guide me in how I approach this record's blurb. But knowing his origins, and then hearing that this was an acoustic record, I became disappointed; this record is better than I had thought. Maybe I will approach it with complete honesty, and no silly BS,but I am always honest in my reviews (if you can call them that). It has been said that these might be some of his most personal songs he has written, or most obviously personal because there is not all of the added psychological noise, distortion or effects, or any material made to mess with you. However, he cannot break a creative habit like that, and why would you want to? There are ways to still add those touches, but it must be done a different way. The second song is completely beautiful, "Illuminine," actually, heavenly harp is present I believe. The next track sounds slightly spacey/psychedelic, and folky. especially when the chorus is concerned; with a choir of Thurstons. The song is full of those anxious strings that sound eerie, but are still as inviting as a blind date: full of mystery, seems harmless, but you have a feeling something can go wrong any minute. I sometimes have trouble with "Circulation," and if this song could help that issue well..It doesn't matter. It is true that "Blood Never Lies," you can hide the evidence but it can be found by those lights. There must be an "Orchard Street" near some mushrooms or even a swamp, as I cannot help but notice how the strumming sometimes sloshes back and forth. As an alligator seems to attack I get really anxious, and I think it is because I am about to die, but then I realize it is the tension created by the strings and all of the noise that join in the party after four minutes. After that near-death experience I find solace "In Silver Rain With a Paper Key" which I am currently protecting, but it seems odd to protect the key when the house is made with the same material, and by now it would probably be gone. "Mina Loy" makes do with what little lyrical accompaniment it has, but is there something more powerful than unconditional love? There seems to be plenty of "Space" in this song; I mean it sounds like you are just cruising in a space pod enjoying the scenery for the first half of the song, until the space police discovered that I committed a crime..What? I gave Thurston a ride. He was carrying these golden coins; I thought it was weird, but I didn't think that they were stolen. That sfx two seconds before the song ends. "January" may be one of my favorites, and it's filled with promise; you have about twelve months to do something fantastic and make this your year every time it comes around, or less than twelve, but at least five months. My favorites: Benediction, Illuminine, Circulation, Orchard Street,In Silver Rain With A Paper Key, Space, and January
