I'm wondering whether I should buy the whole album. I only really like Seems, and I'm not sure if there's any point in getting the whole thing if there's only one or two decent songs on it. What do you think?

i hope Eilidh went for it... a good release from a great band ... and on top of a little nostalgia, i just learned that Johnny Irion was in QSS (and the wikipedia page needs to be updated to reflect accordingly!) -- but highly recommend his work with Sarah Lee Guthrie, excellent work -especially if you like rootsy singer songwriter fare in the vein of Gram Parsons)...
