Such a disappointing followup to the first album and the EP, both of which were spectacular.

Seriously, I just listened to a full song…what the fuck is this shit!? Note to musicians: cramming every conceivable musical style into your song doesn't make your music "genreless" or "indescribable", it makes your music an unlistenable hodgepodge of bland genre signifiers.

I refuse to believe that a film featuring Lacey Chabert masturbating furiously can be altogether bad.

This is one of those times where I listened to some song samples, and my ears had NO IDEA what to make of the music. I know it's garbage, but it's also musically nonsensical garbage.

…but Mastodon ARE good.

Not feeling it as much as the first album, but I like it. The first sounded much rawer, this one's kinda samey.

Actually it does sound like a Neko Case song.

Why is classic in quotes? Does Tobias hate the Lion King?

Anything on Adult Swim that has involved the someone from Human Giant has been lackluster for me.

FRUIT DON'T TALK! Fruit just listens…and waits.

If he was right, I wouldn't be calling him a troll, now would I?

Yeah, that's pretty much an ongoing thing at this point that they revisit whenever they feel like saying "To hell with continuity"…which is often.

I get it, you're a troll. In fact, we all get it. Please move along.

Yep.

Love this show. It's endlessly quotable, and the voice work from Unknown Hinson and Todd Hanson is brilliant.

Love his work, but he's so litigious that it's become distasteful.

Christgau is/was too much of an asshole to understand anything that doesn't confirm his own bullshit ideas about how rock/pop works as a genre. Anything with any genuine emotional content rings false for him, and if it's a Black Eyed Peas album he will immediately love it because it confirms his own preconceived…

I "know" that you're 100% dead wrong, of course.

Awesome, and very well deserved. What a great album.

OONCE OONCE OONCE OONCE! SOARING CHORUS! TOKEN RAPPER VERSE!
