"I have to say, I have never been able to pick a favorite album before I bought this CD (even when I was obsessed with Radiohead I was still unable to claim OK Computer as my favorite), but after I bought it, and listened to it for the third time, I made the decision that this is my favorite album, ever (at least until I buy another Spoon album), and it was the easiest decision I've ever made. For the readers of this review, I am sorry to explain that I can't say exactly why. The first two times I listened to it, it was nice and catchy, but never more than good, and thats because I was expecting some sort of genius from it. And that's not to say it isn't genius, because it is. The genius is in the simplicity and it took my third listen to realize that. They are MANY different sounds here that you wont notice the first few times, but everything is used to perfect effect. The material here may not be the best (though it's damn good), but the execution is hands down, the best I have EVER heard. Perfect lo-fi production. Perfect CD."
