Nothing like that is on Strawberry Jam. The longest track, I believe, is Fireworks, and again it's a fantastic song.

Strawberry Jam is also a flawed masterpiece, thanks to Cuckoo Cuckoo, which REALLY doesn't belong on that album.

I have to disagree. I really couldn't see the likes of Cuckoo Cuckoo being on something like Feels, even though it almost fits into Feels' mold. Actually it almost feels like it could be considered the climax of the album

It's a definite change in pace compared to all the other, more disorienting songs in the album, but it's about 3 minutes too long.

Pretty bad.

It's precious and enjoyable, but the "green" cd covers have got to go. What a pain in the ass!

Try Merriweather Post Pavillion. If that still doesn't convince you, then listen to Terrible Lizard. He's got wisdom.

The album cover clearly depicts strawberry preserves.

I got into them a year ago, and my favorite album has to be feels. Aside from that, I was never really disappointed for any of the albums I listened to of theirs so far, and their older works are really good too. I've played the feels album more than enough times, so I'd say they're very good, but not nearly excellence.

Merriweather Post Pavilion if far superior in my opinion. The melodies are infinitely infectious.
