Si alguien me dice que defina la perfección no estaría mal sacar este disco. Un album que puede impactarme mucho y que es capaz de que recuerdes algún momento de tu vida o sitio concreto donde lo escuchaste.

Just gives me the impression they're down to earth. Why should they take themselves so seriously? I'd also prefer non-serious song names that are excellent as opposed to awful songs with great names. If the names of their songs is your biggest complaint about the band then that's a problem on your part, not with the music.

Some of their track titles might be pointless but does it mean that Mozart naming his composition Symphony number xyz in abc dur/mol, but nothing conceptual, does it mean the same thing? I believe their writing process might be like one of them makes a cool guitar motive, they start to develop it, after some time they all agree the track is done and have to name it somehow. So they may name it with some random words that seem to fit, or capture 'the feel' of the track, or the abstract idea for a song title came first and they try to fit the music to it

The nonsense theme of most of their albums and track titles has always bothered me (to the point of not listening to the band before, in favor of artists whose songs titles meant something related to the music). This approach gives me the impression they don't take their songs (or music itself) seriously. Apart from that, Happy Songs is a very beautiful album, with sooting yet powerful melodies, as Mogwai always does.

Love this album. Was just retagging old mp3s when I came to Sad DC. I know this got a release as a bonus track, but my version (I think I downloaded it from Mogwai's site) is tagged as being track 11/12. Would anyone have an idea of what the other two could be? Hopefully more than just the Happy Tree Friends version of Hunted By A Freak and the Moses I Amn't demo.

The artwork is perfect. Touch it and you're entering a world of pain! A world of pain!

I'm a fan but expected a happy-ish atmosphere. But the titles kill it. I love groups that do this.

Take a close look at the layout of the album. It reads "happy songs OR happy people" on the inside because the F is on the frontside...clever move :D Clever band.

I amn't." - "Come on, man, my boring machines will never again disturb your sleep." - "Fuck you, my kids are skeletons now because of them!" - "Oh please, I'll buy you a golden Porsche!" - "I don't drive. Cars kill all the flies." - "Aw screw you, I'm going to the Ratts of the capital."
