Humbug

“Crying Lightning” and “Pretty Visitors” give you the heavier side of Humbug. “Cornerstone” and “Secret Door” take it somewhere else entirely. A lot of what makes this period worth spending time with is on the singles. The “My Propeller” 10-inch alone has “Joining the Dots,” “The Afternoon’s Hat” and “Don’t Forget Whose Legs You’re On.” There’s a whole other afternoon of listening in those B-sides.
