I really love all the songs on the album, and think that all of them, without exception, can go on as singles...but Knee socks is like a ultimate summing up of all this album is - catchy, rock-n-roll sexy music, after-midnight party/make-out feel, Alex's superb lyrics (especiall the chorus - so brilliant), the bassline the guitars..all, and of course, the outstanding back-vocals work.
I'm too excited 'bout this record, even more than QOTSA's ...Like Clockwork. Definitely Monkey's best album. It's not that simple to getaway with not labelling it INSTANT CLASSIC...but I cannot come up with a reason you shouldn't call it that :) That goes for record of the year too.
