Sleepytime Gorilla Musuem - Of Natural History

There are times when you want to taken on a different journey. Sure, the vehicle you are in, is no different to any others but it's the paths that it takes that can intrigue, frighten and mesmerise you. This is Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. The instruments they use are your standard distorted guitars and bursts of tempos but just like the vehicle I used as analogy- the journey they take you on is never a straight road.

Riffs begin then descend into decay. Vocals are garbled and filled with macarbe desire. Electronic effects alter straight lines and perception. Sometimes I love safe. Sometimes I am utterly bored by it and like to drive with the lights off. SGM are masters at this. Distorted guitar music all sounds the same? Pfft. You don't know what you are missing:

I'm so glad to see you're digging that album! One thing I want to throw out there about it is that, while you're right about much of the instruments being typical, there's also a fair amount of unusual instrumentation for heavy music like violin, the found object percussion their second drummer uses, the weird PVC piping instrument their bass player sometimes employs, etc.
