Terrific analysis. Chronic Town and Murmer where spectacular albums, but I was a little disappointed by the cleaner production of Reckoning, as well as its shorter running time. You could actually understand the lyrics which, form me, lost a little bit of the mystery and emotional impact of the vocals. Still solid, though, their first three + Chronic Town being their best recordings. I picked up the Feelies "The Good Earth" after reading your Fables reviews. What a great record! It reminds me a little bit of Dream Syndicate and Meat Puppets.
