I cannot understand for a second why anybody would make a comparison between this album and Smile. It's also not half as eclectic as people are making out, and certainly not so much of a mess at all. It's better thought of as a really long medley rather than something that's "poorly assembled". The parts from the distinguishable songs fit together seamlessly.

I'd argue that Barnes has created his own genre of pop music with this record and the second half of Hissing Fauna. There is really nothing like it in existence.
