Or maybe that's just how this crazy mixed up world works these days. At any rate I agree. It's not that I don't enjoy "Farm," but that I have such a hard time getting all the way through it before songs like "Plans" and "Said the People" start to blend into one big jam. Not that it's a bad jam, but rather it's just hard to stay deeply focused on the album. Same kinda reason I still have a hard time getting into Sunn O))), despite these being apples and oranges.
