I always saw it as a messy attempt at some kind of Psychedelia that was only half-successful, with a lot of problems within the band only adding onto the result, but I can hear why people don't like it. Maybe it's me and my appeal towards messed-up albums (which this clearly is), but I still listen to it more than their albums after The Head on the Door. "Birdmad Girl," "The Caterpillar," "Shake Dog Shake," and "Bananafishbones" are alright, but the rest should have been shoved to the B-Sides...or maybe the out-take bin.
