Offend Maggie is for the most part absolute trash. Friend Opportunity was miles, MILES better than Offend Maggie. Offend Maggie is the sound of a band, late in their career, with not much more to say and having a hard time saying it.

I haven't had many listens to it yet but i thinks it's not too bad so far, Friend Opportunity was just a little bit too scattered for me, this one feels as bit more coherent.

Wow. Are we talking about the same albums? Friend Opportunity basically flows seamlessly on the hypothetical 'first side' and then delves into odder territory on side two, but there's clearly some sort of common thread running through it. Offend Maggie is a complete repulsive mess. It's good for 3 or so songs, then becomes one of the most scattered, pointless records I have heard in living memory.

You wait 'til the second half of the album starts to grate...
