There's A LOT to absorb in this album.
After about 1 and 1/3 listens I can already tell you what I admire most about it:
This album sweats CONFIDENCE out of every pore. The composition and sound design/choice always feel like they were placed "just exactly like this" with a perfectly clear result in mind, even during the most psychedelic "Flaming Lips" moments. And everybody knows there's nothing more attractive than confidence.
This is one that I'll be diving into with some headphones and a pack of Marlboro's as soon as possible... haven't even begun to really analyze the lyrics. Speaking of which, "fire and brimstone" never sounded so good. ![]()
