In 2004 when the Fiery Furnaces’ Blueberry Boat collapsed college and indie music charts I made a bold statement.  Blueberry Boat is either the single most genius record, infused with  true intense beauty and musical significance that has an almost tale telling, rock opera like composure and the world at large is just to stupid to understand, or It’s a total disappointment and I am just to pretentious to admit that.

After an interesting article I read revealing Matt Friedberger’s, the other half of the Fiery Furnaces husband, wife duo, true feelings about Radiohead, his then misconception about a meaning of a Radiohead song and then his jumbled response at a somewhat statement of apology,  is making me think twice about the artistic value I once associated the Fiery Furnaces with.
