It sounds like I experience exactly the reverse of what you do. I find 'Music for Adverts' so damn frustrating, and a completely soulless bunch of ideas. Sure, it has ideas, not just rehash, but a crap idea is a crap idea, and that's all I hear. I think Plaid's album is patchy, but there are things on it that I'd consider listening to, which puts it above 'Music for Adverts' to my ears. It's also amusing that my flatmate would be agreeing fully with Che if he was on here - this seems to be quite a common disagreement between fans of the older Black Dog. Well, actually both of us like 'Spanners' most, so not that much older BDP.
