I've never heard anything quite like this album. Many of the tunes boarder
on being painful to listen too (not physically painful like Pan Sonic
though). I always love it the first time I hear it in awhile, but I can
never listen to more than once in a sitting (or a week). It's sort of the
musical equivalent of S&M. Nothing like ATR.
