Title: Warmed-over P. Floyd?
Review: Must confess to disappointment; this sounded like a record I would like. Well, they have a great name, and the artwork on the CD is really cool. However, the music itself, while tastefully done, is surprisingly unremarkable. Just because this type of thing has been done before doesn't mean that makes it bad. What makes it bad is that it has been done better and more compellingly before. Pink Floyd, Mercury Rev, and to a degree the Flaming Lips have created much finer "orchestral" soundscapes. The antisocial rantings that float through the music grow very tiresome with repeated listenings, and do little to inspire any feeling whatsoever. I appreciate the attempt to make a statement about millennial paranoia/angst, but would like more than one statement per record, you know? Not worth the money!
