I've listened to a couple songs of this so far. It's definitely pretty neat.

Couple comments on this review. I dunno if this was mentioned, but the album closer is 'Something Happened', not 'Why Aren't I Going to Hell'. Also I don't find 'Donny of the Decks' to be rockabilly-influenced; it seems to be pretty Stranglers-esque, especially if you listen to 'The Men They Love to Hate' off La Folie.
There seem to be more Stranglers leanings on this record actually, not to take away from it or say it isn't brilliant. I waited a while to listen to this record (How to Stop Your Brain..) after how much I loved TPACS, but it's pretty damn good.

Thanks. My version of the album ends with 'Why Aren't I Going To Hell.' I've changed the piece with 'Donny of the Decks' though. I also hear the Stranglers' influence on this track. Good catch.

Also, if anyone hasn't read this, it's a beautifully cunning tidbit from Falkous, blogging a
response to the superficially attuned Pitchfork writer who reviewed 'The Plot Against Common Sense':
'In twelve years of releasing records I have only twice felt compelled to respond, privately in
those cases, and was reasonably set on a similarly benign course until two bells (figuratively
speaking) resonated in the heart of the sodden internet. Firstly, obviously satisfied with the ebb
and cod-ebb of your piece you tweeted a link to the review. In fine repose you sat, and introduced
'I suppose the problem is that most touring funk bands had to get sober'. Well, I see you that and
raise you 'I suppose the problem is that Ian Cohen is effectively reviewing an album from ten years
ago by a band that no longer exists. His burning nostalgia for a lost teenage love has been replaced
by an uncontrollable hatred for her and her new, happy life even though she went to college (Masters
in Ancient History, specialising in the early to mid Roman Republic) and grew into those tits like
you wouldn't believe. In fact, he hates her so hard (yet helplessly) that he once applied for a Visa
card in her name, badly, in order to somehow affect her credit rating and thus deny her the home she
had dreamed about for so many years'."

No, it isn't. The tracklist in the database for this is correct.
