The percussion, the guitar, the vocals all come together so discordantly that it becomes a difficult listen at first, but it pays in dividends once you "get it."

Really? It's a pretty acclaimed album... Although, I've never really understood why people praise it so much. (Wasn't it influential on lo-fi/indie rock, or am I thinking of something else?)
Anyways... in terms of the whole "crazy people who create a psychedelic album" category, I prefer Syd Barrett's solo debut.
