So I just cane back and listened to this album recently and I think that I appreciate it more now than I did in the past. As can be seen in my last review, I think that the album sounds very diffrent to me now than it did in the past. And for the better because this seems way better than it used to in part because I have realized how creative the material here really is. And I did not understand the context in which this album was presented. The themes that are discussed lyricaly are still relevant socially almost 11 years after its release and in a way the social commentary is more true now than it was even then. The honesty that is here is profound and also masked behind subtle humor and sarcasm which is very reminiscent of our modern norm. We are afraid of honestly because it doesn't make us seem completely out together.

And even in the instrumentals, there is choas that becomes organized in such way that all you can do is kind of accept it and keep going. And this album is consistantly inconsistant in the sense that you know it's going to be all over the place but it still suprises you anyways.

All I can really say that I haven't said already is that I'm glad I have come to appreciate this album in a new way and that it has become a new expirience for me that is more meaningful than it had ever been in the past.

This is definitely an interesting album to say the least. I wouldn't say I love every second of it but I think it is incredibly original and imaginative. This seems to me like the work of musicians that are more concerned with creative vision than they are with being popular. And while the song crazy became a pop sensation, I wouldn't say that the intention of this album was to be some sort of seminal pop masterpiece. And even if that was the intention I wouldn't say that it would be considered that either. But if you like you music to be strange and playful while also harboring a not so secret inner turmoil, than this album is for you. There are a lot of interesting and quite possibly disturbing lyrical moments on this album and this does give the album a very real quality to it. It's like this album is trying to say things that no one wants to say out loud but almost everyone can relate to. So I would say that this album has some significant strengths and some equally significant weaknesses.
