We already have a thread for this! It says "HAYDEN - Women As Lovers on myspace!". I already posted my opinions there so I'll keep this short.
Listened to it 4 times. Boring. Overlong. Inconsistent songwriting. Almost no sparse, lonely, melancholic, beautiful moments -- the things I listen to Xiu Xiu for. Worst thing Xiu Xiu has ever done by far. Tracks 3, 7, 8, and the last one have some good moments. They could've trimmed the fat and made a really great EP. I'll consider this a "transitional" record and hope the next one is better. Very disappointing. One of my favorite bands as well.
Just my opinion, though. If you love it, cool! I can't imagine it blowing anyone's mind, but okay.
