"Do not be turned off by the 4 out of 5 Stars given. This is a great listen (but Licker's Last Leg is At The Top.) It's just that this self-titled debut is more an album to have on as you think about homework, as you're driving down the boulevard towards work, or as background music for you as you ponder the disastrous inner workings of pop culture than it is an album you put on at a party to enlighten your guests. It's good, and you should own "Goon Moon" if you like weird rock. You could play it while you have wine and old pizza, studying its accents and anecdotes so you'll have information for those friends of yours who think they really know music (but all they ever listen to is And You Will Know Them By The Trail of Dead and Coldplay.) Or you could play it while you devise a plan to get a date with the cute chick with the black hair and with lips the color of a red so bright you go blind by their intensity. Play "Goon Moon" while you're working on the car, while you're cleaning your closet, while you're walking the dog, while you're drilling a tooth, while you're baking brownies, while you're thrusting a rapier, while you're talking philosophy. Anytime, really, when you are by yourself.
This is An Alone Time Album, it's for you and you alone when you're alone doing what you do with your lonesome self. Or be lonely with somebody else and listen to it, that'd work too."
Decent Album

"I bought this CD accidentally / on a whim, and was happy to find it is a pretty solid experimental disc. "Apartment 31" is a great track. I would say not worth full price, but buy it used and you won't be disappointed. Not exactly a group of people I'd have expected to work well together, but it turned out pretty coherent."
