Overview

Measure is the second album by Matt Pond PA, released in 2000. Production The album was produced by Brian McTear. Pond rewrote many of the songs during the recording sessions, eventually bringing in a drummer. Critical reception Exclaim! wrote that "the winning pop disc thrives on the honeyed tones of Pond's voice and poignant arrangements." The Philadelphia Daily News likened the "folky, string-drenched arrangements" to those of Jeremy Enigk. PopMatters called the album "aching, melancholic, orchestral pop that bordered on gloom and despair without crossing over into the realm of the ominous." In a review of the band's next album, The Green Fury, The A.V. Club deemed Measure "magnificent." Track listing "Measure 1" – 4:12 "The Sound and the Words" – 1:28 "The Hollows" – 3:24 "Green Grass" – 5:51 "Measure 2" – 3:08 "Sugar House" – 1:42 "New Fall" – 4:38 "Competition" – 2:34 "Flying Through the Scenery" – 2:08 "The Price of Spring" – 3:10 "It's Over" – 1:49

Notable quotes

“I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement, and reasoning, confirmed by independent observers. I'll believe anything, no matter how wild and ridiculous, if there is evidence for it. The wilder and more ridiculous something is, however, the firmer and more solid the evidence will have to be.”
— Isaac Asimov, in The roving mind (1April1983), p. 43.
“You can't control what you can't measure”
— Tom DeMarco in Controlling Software Projects, Management Measurement & Estimation, Page 3.
“Advancement of the human factor in industry... varies so much that unless we use measurement and abide by the results, there is no possibility of repeating the process accurately and efficiently at will, or of predicting and controlling the future conditions that assure that advancement.”
— Frank Bunker Gilbreth, Sr. Measurement of the human factor in industry (1917) p. 3.
“Observe due measure, for right timing is in all things the most important factor.”
— Hesiod, Works and Days (c. 700 BC) line 694.
“To understand God's thoughts we must study statistics, for these are the measure of his purpose.”
— Florence Nightingale, quoted in Karl Pearson, Life of Francis Galton, vol.II, ch.xiii, sect.i.
“As soon as we venture on the paths of the physicist, we learn to weigh and measure, to deal with time and space and mass and their related concepts, and to find more and more our knowledge expressed and our needs satisfied through the concept of number, as in the dreams of Plato and Pythagoras.”
— D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson, On Growth and Form (1917).
