"This album is just so fucking cool it's ridiculous. The aura of sounds and psychedelic atmospheres that are created by Bradford Cox and the gang just utterly encapsulates you from the very first listen.

"There are lots of bands out there priding themselves on making lo-fi indie. This album shows that you can do that and stil be accessible. That Dress Looks Nice on You, Abraham and the title track are all very nice but the best is the closer, Transfiguration, a lilting, banjo-driven, unapologetica..." [+] Reply

"This album contains a lot of my favorite DCFC songs: Marching Bands Of Manhattan Soul Meets Body Summer Skin Different Names For The Same Thing What Sarah Said Brothers On A Hotel Bed All those hits force me to rate this album high. However, I don't think it is their more cohesive album. Narrow S..." [+] Reply

"Yes, it is so incredibly good that many of the tracks are still ranking at or around 90. If you've never heard this album, it's because it's by Ween. Just about everybody, at a certain point before this album, wrote Ween off as a novelty band (and rightfully so, at least for the early 90s). Howev..." [+] Reply
