I think the million songs in one song thing was done better in Skeletal Lamping than in Couqeelorkfioerjkgiorjkwhateverthehell. And out of the six albums of their's that I've heard, it's in the top 2 for catchiness.

and aw, I've been meaning to check out that Zappa album. I have like seven of his albums, but not that one.

Yeah, Coquelicot is 90% filler. I only like 'Penelope', 'Frozen Island', and 'Mr. Edminton'.

The Zappa album is great. Im only a real big fan of his early Mothers stuff, and out of the first three, "WOIFTM" is somehow the most chaotic yet most cohesive. You have to listen to it versus his first two albums to understand what I'm getting at, but in any case, it may be my favorite album of the 60's.

Yeah, what happened to Zappa after the Mothers Of Invention? A load of crap came afterwards in the 70s.

Try as I might I can not like this band, it's getting harder to tolerate them on random play also.

Some of the happiest music I've ever heard... very hard to be sad listening to them.

Stanic Panic is pretty catchy.

Incogneato · 05-21-2009, 07:58 PM

I always liked Satanic Panic in the Attic. I don't think I could get tired of songs like Disconnect the Dots, Lysergic Bliss, and Rapture Rapes the Muses; some of my favorites.

skeletal lamping is fantastic, i don't understand the mixed reviews. i was a bit put off the first time i heard it too, but after only the second listen, i loved it.

Satanic Panic in the Attic and Hissing Fauna were good. The *** Parade was better. And Skeletal Lamping? Simply amazing I actually really got into Of Montreal because this album is right up my alley; I love the complete lack of cohesiveness and the wonderful complete chaos. Also, I just have to laugh at Rainard trying to explain why it's a good album to jgd. A lot of people definitely just don't get the concept of an album embracing chaos and/or focusing on an incohesive structure, and it's quite difficult to explain what sounds so good about it to us to someone that feels differently. I'm surprised I didn't see more on here about their earlier stuff; I thought The *** Parade was definitely one of their best albums. Fantastic band. Also, does anyone have a link for Cherry Peel by any chance? I've been keeping an eye out for it for a while now and I just can't find it; I still have yet to hear it.
