ditto for Ice Cream Castles. I've said numerous times that it's the least "Time" sounding record. It has 1 monster single, one sort of "sidekick" single, the title track breaks the fourth wall worse than anything else they ever recorded, and the best cut is an album cut ("My Drawers"). After that, what's left? "Chili Sauce" and "If The Kid Can't Make You Come" (which doesn't sound like The Time at all).
