| A solid album by Of Montreal. My only complaint would be that the album is totally ADD. The songs are shorts and the ideas seem unfleshed out, but that aside the songs are interesting and lyrical. The album is roughly a concept album but I have trouble following the plot, if there is one. Not an album for the faint of heart because it takes effort, it does not have any "singles" but the album is a fun adventure. | |
