2001

It seems that Super Furry Animals have become even more experimental than they were in their previous List album, Fuzzy Logic. This made this slightly less enjoyable. But you get fewer and fewer Doris Day shoutouts nowadays, so you must cherish them.

For the most part, this was still an entertaining album when they didn't go off the rails too much. I liked it more when it gravitated towards an Elvis Costello sound, as opposed to death metal. But the variety kept it interesting.

Not particularly memorable, but pretty good.

RATING: 3/5
