"What a cool concept. Each album works on it own, and there are 14 different combinations of discs to listen together before you try all four. What an ambitious project. Playing all 4 together actually works. Try it. Get 3 other music nerds, grab some portable players, sit in a room and time out t..." [+] Reply

"I'm glad they're focusing more on the psychedelic genre rather than radio hits like Kids or Time to Pretend. This album is very experimental and hard to get into.
