I don’t know. I like this album. It’s good. But it’s not as avant as I’d expected. When I see avant-garde or free tags on jazz, I expect craziness. This music is a bit safer. I will say this, though, there's something in this music that extends beyond America's borders. Can't quite put my finger on it. I think it's the way the bass rhythms interact.

The most amazing thing about this band is the fact that they can be so cool and rock out so well all while the lead singer has a lisp. Well done! That’s an amazing tightrope act. I liked this album the first time I heard it, but what sealed it in my mind as perhaps the greatest indie rock album of all time is the last track, the epic “Styrofoam Boots / It's All Nice on Ice, Alright”, a sprawling song that sounds much longer than its seven minutes. Anyway, the riffs are catchy, the melodies memorable, and the lyrics are clever and fresh with each re-listen.

Starts off orchestral and unassuming, launches into some interesting prog folk sung in French. I even dig the more singalongable parts. Nice harmonies all around, too.

Should've not skipped church, Avicii. You were literally defeated, despite your protestations.

79 minutes of ambient. Fuck you.

I'm so happy I completed this project and I'm now able to listen to so many albums in a row that are just utterly amazing music that I would have missed out on if I hadn't taken the time to do this project. I'm so happy that I am able... Oh what am I saying? This is utter dogshit like almost everything else in these (user-submitted and original) lists. Thanks, OP, for yet another wasted hour in which I question my life choices. Why the fuck do I solicit the opinion of strangers? Why do I involve myself in the society of people whose taste is so utterly inferior to my own?

Once there was this guy who took a trip to Singapore and brought along his spray paint, and when he finally came back, he had cane marks all over his bottom. He said that it was from when the warden whacked it so hard.

And once there was this girl who swore that one day she would be a figure skating champion, and when she finally made it, she saw some other girl who was better. And so she hired some guy to club her in the kneecap.

And then there was this guy who made his wife so mad one night that she cut off his weiner, and when he finally came to, he found that Mr Happy was missing. He couldn't quite explain it. It'd always just been there.
