This is old news, but hey, neither you nor I care.
The album won a Grammy, but who really cares about that anymore?
The album for me is outstanding half the time, and so-so the rest of the time. The track “Free Radicals (A Hallucination of the Christmas Skeleton Pleading with a Suicide Bomber)” is probably my favorite, featuring about 200 different samples including a super catching guitar riff (pretty sure that’s sampled, if not, sorry Wayne, as if you read my blog anyway you big jerk). Let me just say that I LOVE their sampled noises and sounds. They are so crisp and perfectly toned, they just massage my brain.
“It Overtakes Me” is also excellent (excellent enought to be picked up by Beck’s beer in the UK which is why the UK is ahead of us in terms of awesomeness). It inspired me in my current recording project to have some vocals over just some drums. Don’t you love that sound?
Anyway, this is turning out to be really boring for even me to type. Who likes to read someone just ramble on about music without offering any actual insights. I might revisit this when I do have something interesting to say.
