Mogwai -Young Team

Like 2001, Young Team speaks of passion and wonder in its own intuitive logic. Especially notable tracks include the Slint- spawned monster "Like Herod," "R U Still In 2 It"'s Aidan Moffat- fortified primer on human despair, and the sixteen- minute- long, mind- exploding closer "Mogwai Fear Satan," which is by far the most accurate sonic representation of the Big Bang theory in the history of music.
The short of it: one of the best frickin' albums of 1997. A judgment over a year late in arrival. But really now, who's keeping score?
