I loved Mutations when it first dropped. Seemed like a very Bowie-esque move to follow up Odelay with such a comparatively mellow, weirdo folk-ish album. “Lazy Flies” has a total Donovan feel to it, and it was a nice change of pace.
Lost a Grammy to Tori Amos I think.
Still, Odelay is just the tits. I know it’s the most popular, but that’s for goddamn good reason. Everything sounds a little disappointing by comparison, except for his pre-Odelay stuff, which now sounds like a gradual lead-up to ... Odelay.
Odelay.
